Small Scale Military Headquarters

No luck on the roller. I thought I had one but coldnt find it in my parts bins.

@bruzilla - honestly, you're giving the marketing analysis dept of 21st waaayyyy too much credit.

21st went down (several times) for many reasons. I'm pretty sure that people "hoarding" more than one plane from WM at a time didn't have much to do with their bottom line.

The rear bench seats or the front seats?

Planning to do the same to mine. The brown is just awful and I love arctic theme. What paint did you use? And where did those side cannons come from? I don't mind the modular weapons hasbro has been using but I wish they'd at least give us enough to fill the holes.

Had mine on ebay this past week and it sold for $84.99 buy it now so you might want to list it.

I've got a MISB Hurry Home Honey and Cripes A'Mighty up right now on my ebay. Started both at 99cents so whatever they sell for should give a good reference point for future sales. http://cgi.ebay.com/1-18-BBI-ELITE-FORCE-P-51D-MUSTANG-HURRY-HOME-HONEY-P51-/320563652441?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDom...

PM sent

damn, I totally forgot about this post somehow. If you're still looking for some send me a PM, I don't have any spares but I see nice ones all the time at the thrift stores down here for $10 or so. I'll grab a pair and send them your way next time I see some if you want. That area is insane for peop...

I picked the Tiger since I'm 99% armor/ground vehicles. If the SdKfz 251 had been listed it definitely would have been my top choice as it's so open to customizing all the different variants.

across the street or across the park?

http://www.smooth-on.com/ love their moldmaking rtv and their resin. they have some great how-to videos on their site. Their starter kit is a good price at $50 http://www.smooth-on.com/index.php?cPath=4_1217 They're also great to deal with as a company. When I was a poor design student they shipped ...

do a google images search for 1/18 solido jeep and you'll see the roof-up jeep, the SAS jeep, and the french fire jeep they made. The roof-up is really nice but needs weathering (as do they all). The SAS is a decent start but the gear and rear .50 cal are junk. The fire jeep is interesting if you we...

It's definitely one of the best pieces ever produced in the 1/18 line. It's worth the $200 or so, if you can snag one for that price do it.

did I mention that I hate hate hate exclusive figures, especially when they're something I really really really want.

Congrats on finding one of these rare beauties. And good luck with the construction/painting. I read an article by some hardcore modeler who said this kit is VERY difficult to assemble. Not trying to rain on your parade, I think this is a great item and I wish you the best! If you haven't already s...

It depends on the number of units that are in the production run. If it turns out to be is a first baby step for AG by producing a limited run, I'll get one simply to support AG. I'm a vehicle guy with only a few planes and I'd buy this for the limited investment and so AG gets the KT into producti...

Yeah, this would be on my "must have multiples of" list if produced in 1/18th scale. I think it would be a hot seller in the larger market as well. I don't think it would be less expensive to produce though as the open tubular frame means that they'd have to mold all the intricate engine details etc...

Yep, they must have busted the mold for it or something because it was only on the first release version.

Ahem, Ahem...

A quick google shows the date for the 2009 Hong Kong Toys & Games Show as January 5 - 8, 2009 so it's been over a year since JSI showed all those interesting variants (Tiger and Panther with zim, SdKfz variants, Sherman calliope). The more recently posted link to the 2009 Japan Hobby show (May 7th t...

Just to help avoid any confusion...

The only 1/18 scale kubel that 21st made was the original gray version. To my knowledge it was never sold at WM.

FOV has never made a 1/18 kubel.

Minichamps has released a gray and a DAK 1/18 kubel.
