Wow - I'm honered, really! What a suprize to have 2 minutes at work to get online to check in with the Fightin' 1:18th and see my old Sherman on the front page! Cool! Thanks! I started a new job near the end of May and I've been crazy busy, so collecting and customizing has had to take a...

Alright - alright - just thought I'd check. $@^winkingsmileygoeshere^@$ Ya know how when someone needs something REALLY bad and, well, they just might . . . they just might. Seriously, I was still writin my post when you posted your follow-up, so I didn't know it was the "big gun" only you...

Yep, sher did get released. K-Puke 3 pack. Two different ones, I believe. These aren't my shots, found on the netwebs. You got Red Ninjas? I might got War Machines! Let's talk!

Dude, like, you even commented on the thread? Like, back on May 13? http://www.fighting118th.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2949

Don't have one yet, though the local K-Puke still has two! Anyway, what I'm gonna do is sub the entire RB upper body as another bare-arm Crossbones Pure Merc custom with all the usual accouterments (frag & smoke grenades; leather thigh rig, MG's w/ slings n' rings, etc.).

Creepy . . . CREEPY - I like it!! When you say a "smidge" taller than the average Joe, how much is a smidge? Cause he looks like from head to shoulders he'd be a good 3.75". Good work!

Here are a few pix of a Commando team I've had in mind for years now. One dude is totally done (in fact I've got two versions of him already, but no pix for you). Of the two you see here, one is done (with the face paint), but no finished pix yet. The other guy is wearing ridin' chaps, but...

I like it! I'm not familiar with that vehicle though . . . does it have any kind of working interior? Would love to see an opening cargo/troop bay!

I don't know too much about Crossbones, basically whatever you can read on Wikipedia . . . . . . but when I first saw this figure about a year ago, I knew he was something special. Total Bad-ass. It is my opinion that this 1:18 scale figure is about as PERFECT a figure as you can get...

Inconceivable!! That is some pretty big "kind words." I am honored with such a a qualified observation as yours. Thank you. I have no design/construction experience outside of little shoe-box dio's I did as a kid and these more elaborate pieces you see here. I draw big inspiration from...

Hey thanks! The crates are Build-A-Rama, though I don't know if they're still making them.

Here's another alternative: I think it's the kind of string that you're supposed to stuff & tie up a chicken with. I'm pretty sure I remember foraging in the kitchen drawers (like 10 years ago) and asking my wife about this (you could probably get it a Wal*Mart, it's a lil kit with skewers and...

Thanks for the nice happy feedback from y'all. Kind words and kids interested in the the same hobby go along way!!! Seriously, I truly appreciate the enthusiasims. Hey, I just now got around to checking out your HobbyStop. Gotta say, that is my kinda blog - my kind of attitude. Naturally...

Yes - that's exactly right! Flexible-as-can-be!! it is actually (1:18 scale) rope. Tie it or wrap it or wind it: it's up to you.

Thanks everyone for the compliments! This is the house I modeled the H-T after: I can't find the picture that has the windows with the wire mesh, but that is what I tried to simulate in the windows here, in this model. It wasn't supposed to be so much of a screen as it was to be a mesh...

You're right about the boards. But, what you see in the pictures is the "long" version of the "Scorched Planks and Boards" we used to sell (the ruined building in the shots was a production model and the pictures taken were only to show scale). There were shorter, more splintery boards which...

Hey - now, here's the OTHER one: a classic half-timber house/building. This is based on a photo of the same. Building materials are pretty much the same as the brick & mortar ruin, with the exception of there being no Build-A-Rama stuff. Tell me what you think!

Thanks again! Here's another door style I tried out - I think I prefer this one. And the bombed -out style of the right side of the building (2nd shot below) seems more realistic to me.

Hey - wow! Thanks for the great feedback! Can you stand a few more shots? I figure that since 15 is the limit, here's another 10-15.

Here's some pix of a diorama piece I did back in 2002 - 2003. I sold a few of these (under the name Der Kitbashe), but it was so labor intensive, I gave up pretty soon. I was heavily into WWII history and research at the time - and with 21 Century's XD line in full-swing, It was easy to...
