1:18 for Christmas

Post by normandy » Mon Dec 26, 2016 5:50 pm

Anybody get any 1:18 gifts for the Holidays?
I received some items from Grunts Battleground Toys / Shapeways.
My wife gave me a Puma turret, Panzerfaust Bicycle, German Scout Bicycle and the Goliath Sd.Kfz. 302 with control box. Great stuff that will add extra details to displays or dioramas.

It all counts, its 1:18. :)
The Merit 190 is very impressive, I hope it can be ordered in the states soon. Ah the Acid Rain figures, I
had forgotten about them. Its a cool figure / vehicle line. BBI.....boy I wish they made German 1:18 figures. :?
Well happy collecting and happy new year!

It is far away from being finished but I could not longer resist to show you some pics. I hope the pics can show what it is about. And I´m sure it would look pretty cute between my big boys (Kingtiger, captured T34, Panther, Tiger and Jagdpanther)
