Fantastic collection!

Generalfeldmarschall Normandy! is very nice to hear from you again!

this Kubelwagen, Custom top was made by the legend hun (the woofer customs)

made by

21 st Century. I add the fuel containers over the front wheel and one in the back, plus a bullet container

over the back wheel.

Well from the start to the end of this collection of Fallschirmjäger

I always had a problem to find them in the toys r us near me, they never sold the complete set of 6, so I had to buy in online stores


like foxhole toys, which I m very thankful to Matt.N. He gives me a lot honest tips which help me a lot to build this collection


well they came the time when I couldn't find any more figures on these online stores, So moved to the Ebay & Amazon

well as a headache, folks don't have an idea of price, I found prices from 10$ to 35$, I negotiate with very nice sellers

they give me some discount other give me free shipping, some seller was very nice in looking for more and hold for me.

Others I won't spend a word about because I m sure you have the idea about the drama :roll:

At the time I had high hopes the Merit would bring again the Fallschirmjäger line to 1-18 scale market , but til this

day, they never made it, (only in promo pictures )

So after all the headache, in find and negotiated with all types of sellers. I finished this collection of Fallschirmjäger

in 2012.

Thanks for your feedback buddy!


Generalfeldmarschall Normandy! I have the favor to ask if you can and have the time for it. Could you make this picture below real in 1-18 scale?

I like this picture but at the time I don't have these vehicles for one picture set. I m sure you have these vehicles. , Its don't have to be perfect just enough to make this picture real.

Herr Skorzeny,
I would be honored to try and bring this picture to life in 1:18. I have a Flakpanzer IV “Wirbelwind” custom
and the Pickelhaube King Tiger (Henchel Turret), they are not winter white camo.
Let me get some ideas :idea: together and see what I can do.

I like the picture :!:

Great pictures and a great collection. That is some nice box art and a great idea for a figure scene .

LOVE the way you set up the pictures too!!
Thanks holensock!!! . Toke me 3 Hours and 30 M ,to set up 40 pictures in each set ,in 2 different position !

Just now having time to digest your work. VERY impressive and VERY inspirational! Makes me want to get out a bunch of my reserve guys, rip open packages and set them up :!: I can see where it took a great deal of both time and effort.

I remember the time it took to do the D-Day Airborne display at the Museum. Think I'm ready to do something again now that I've viewed your photos :)

Thanks so Much buddy , for this nice feedback !

Well these sets of pictures could be better and more realistic , but I don't have space . I try last year one set at

park near my place , but was about to rain and its take time , plus this figures don't stand well around the grass, so I give up .

I m looking forward for one nice place to have more realistic pictures.

I like the way what granch from Switzerland make his dioramas, is very cool and realistic !.

I hope someday have the space to improve my dioramas .

I m sure you can do better than it buddy !.

I saw the picture of the D-Day Airborne display, Just fantastic !

Those are very impressive layouts! Just the rows upon rows of German action figure "clones" looks amazing. I hate to think of how long it took to amass all that - and how much it all cost :wink:


BTW, my area had tons of the standard "Bruno Bauer" figures at Wal Mart several years ago. We never got in the US Machine Gunner, German MP-44 gunner, and the Germans with the mismatched uniforms, or the dual packs that 21c was releasing near the end, but we did get a lot of the Bauer figures. In fact, my local Wal Marts discounted them to about $1 apiece, so I got a number of them and still have some carded.
Hah lol I was going to post that
whats up doc....
