I've been out for a long time. I was doing training much of the late winter and spring and now almost every spare moment is dedicated to reviving a long neglected yard and repairing a sprinkler system. Nonetheless, I got a great deal done with my Loach today! Four blade main...

Always glad to see someone else keeping the era alive, even though it means scraping up the last available 21st figures and vehicles.

Oh, ok. If it's a simple custom to fit an individual's taste, then more power to him. I thought this was another limited run wave of tanks by a talented caster for the general market.

"Grumble...Grumble" Because what 1:18 really needed was another custom Nazi tank - especially one that was never produced.

Fogger, they are yours. I'm glad that my $75 investment for a pair of windows will serve more than extras in a parts bin or mangled plastic in a trash can.

Thanks! I haven't entirely figured out the main rotor yet. I'm also having to rethink the tail. Originally I was going to reconfigure the original tail, but it may be more effective to just use layered styrene. What's giving me fits, and I can do very little about it, is the interior and...

Not bad for a day's work after a slight re-direction in the project... Cutting the cabin observation windows. Hole is cut. Window is in. Both windows are in. Preparing to paint the interior. Cabin interior painted. Coming together...

Nope. It's yours. Do you want the one on the front of the bubble, the one on the bottom or both? I'll send you the TOW's as well.

Your comment on the TWO MH-6 combined with my type A desire to get everything 100% correct that I possibly can. The result: $75 on E-Bay for a TOW MH-6. At least I get another pilot out of it that I can customize.

Damnit! Last spring I was looking for an AH-6 version that met the following criteria: cheap and required the least amount of filling and sanding. I think I settled on this one because Small Joes had it for less than $40 and it's only add-ons were essentially the troop platforms. At the time...

Yes indeed. But it doesn't feel so long since I've largely figured out how to tackle the conversion and I've determined what I will not be able to do. It won't be 100%. The biggest glaring shorcoming will be the lack of the roof observation windows for the cabin. I just don't see a way of...

I'm on a break from weathering and completing my other M-48 and M-113. In fact, I've been on a lengthy 1:18 break since my wife and I moved into a new home and I had to refurbish an old woodshop into a hobby room. I started this OH-6 last summer. I've only been recently able to sit down and...

Very nicely done!

Poop. But I'll keep reminding him.

Since you posted this in the Cold War forum, when are you going to build the stretch Hueys?

Those suits didn't seem to offer much articulation in zero gravity in real life, so that doesn't bug me. Anytime I see Apollo astronauts, I'm taken back to the old Superman. Too bad we can't get General Zod in a skin tight, black, V-neck onsie.

I'd be all for it, but it's definitely a niche thing. As long as people want a dozen different Tiger I tank versions and two dozen Sherman tank versions, there won't be much room for anything else.

Hopefully quality control will be better than the modern U.S. Army OurWar figures. I received the full set of 7 yesterday. They were shipped from China, and based on the box, factory packed in the cardboard box (the same way, I assume, they would be packed for shipping to toy stores). Three...

Great photography! Having been a member of 2-8 IN (MECH) "First at Normandy!"/2nd BDE/4th ID, I'm glad to see the use of the Ivymen for your dio. I'm always happy to see the much maligned straight leg grunts getting their due. When I'm able to get back on the horse, my Vietnam mech...

Either way I'm down.
