...ist das alles? (is that everything?) :confused:

You sir, are a Photo Shop wizard. Merry Christmas to all as well...

Nein! Nicht besonderes (no! nothing special) Jürgen

I agree...I bought them too.

wow...I like it.

outstanding post. I love your perspective. Jürgen

very cool...

Fröhliche Weinachten und Glückliches Neues Jahr! Jürgen ;)

You know, you are absolutely correct. The Flak 36 was 5.791 meters long. Now divide 579.1mm by 30 and the barrel should be 19.3mm in 1:30 scale. I measured the figure that goes with the model at 60mm (somewhat bent over holding a shell) and...you guessed it, the barrel is approximately 19...

Precisely. In fact, it is a simple division problem to determine exact scale. If we use 6 feet as the basis for determining the scale, we find that 60mm is the standard for 1:30 (rounded). Therefore, a soldier six feet tall would be approximately 1,800mm (1,828.8). Now just divide the height...

Of course, I'm not sure of the implications for the massive MP40. Perhaps the bigger guys carried bigger variants...LOL. ^&grin

This is one of my all-time favorite CS figures. If 60mm or 1:30 scale is 6-feet, this guy is around 6'5". That's subtracting some for the base.

At just under 4" high, the new Stuart is approximately 1:24 scale. (90.5"/24=3.7")

My...that is truly stunning. Jürgen

"Extras," you say? Show us the main body then. :)

So, for all these years, I have believed the K&C M5A1 was undersized. It actually appears to be a spot on 1:30 scale model.

If I were king of the forest, I would use a simple formula for my vehicles. According to Peter Chamberlain and Chris Ellis in their book, British and American Tanks of World War Two, the M5A1 Light tank is 14' 2.75" long; 7' 4.5" wide and 7' 6.5" high. Convert each of those dimensions to...

"Das Bild des Deutschen" (The image of the German)...gut gemacht. You have some nice pieces. Looks like you've been collecting for a while. :)

These shots are very well done. J

Mine should arrive from Minutemen Toy Soldiers soon. ^&grin
