I believe I see what you are getting at. I have ended up with more FOV and 21st C vehicles than I first thought I would when they first came out. After all, I am really more in to 19th C and before. But I've been able to get some good buys and they are beautiful models (and I still enjoy WW2)...

PG, ordered a couple bottles (cheaper in bulk postage-wise) used it on a couple guys whose arms keep falling off and am impressed at the bond. So far they've held better than before. I have tried numerous epoxies and Loctite plastic gel with unsatisfactory results. Mixing an epoxy is too often...

Great job!

What was the glue you were using, I couldn't make it out from the pix. Always looking for a better plastic glue for my figures and hadn't seen this.

Gee folks, we can use them however we want when we buy them, they will be our figures. If you don't like the SS (understandable, but kind of denying history IMHO), then use them as late war German troops wearing whatever they could get hold of (and lucky troops, too as they are pretty well...

I've bought from him off ebay and he is a great guy to deal with. The figures are great. They require a great deal of assemblage but are well worth the effort. The Japanese and Chinese Infantry (from WW2) are not only unique (how many WW2 Chinese have ever been made in this scale, much less with...

Some beautifully done figures. Thanks for sharing the pix.

It's like I was talking with someone at the Texas Show the year before last about BMC tanks and vehicles, they were close enough to accurate to please, in a reasonable scale and cheap enough to really play with. As the other fellow said, who wants to take a $60+ vehicle and trash it to make it...

BUM is usually a bummer to me - either knockoffs of other older manufacturers (wonder how they get past the copyright and patent restrictions) or when the figures are original so brittle or poorly sculpted as to be virtually unusable. Their French and Indian Wars sets looked promising but with...

I was excited about their future Zouaves - until I discovered they were going to be compatible with their previous releases. I bought their entire ACW collection in both colors when they first came out, they look small even compared to my old Marx guys, much less the newer releases. Hate to say...

But isn't that a true friend? One you can argue and debate with but still comes through when it counts?

I only had a few Lido as a kid, but did have the Marx ACW and a lot of MPC; but I always was fond of Lido's guys and finally was able to get a batch through Ebay. For me, what they lack in "elegance" they more than make up for in personality.

Superb job. Keep the Lewis Gun, it's a great conversion and maybe it will help them break through this time. :smile2:

Great job both with conversions and paint jobs.

Great job, Anth! Thanks for sharing the pix.

That's elevating it to an art form.

What a blast seeing these pix - almost envious, if I tried this where I live my troops (and I) would have to forget about opposing armies to fight off fire ants... So many thanks for sharing your backyard adventures.

Takes me back to my childhood - one of the dreams of my childhood to have a Napoleonic battle on that scale.

Baron, Atlantic also made sets in a 1/32 scale (closer to 60mm, I understand, I wasn't a fan of their stuff, but did like most of their ancients). Totally agree with others' advice on painting, one needs a good primer (I use Krylon carefully). One more step I add is to get a good acrylic spray...

Well, at least ACTA is back - even if off to a shaky start. I think much of the problem is we collectors have become "spoiled" by recent offerings of folks like Conte, TSSD, and even CTS, to mention a few - the "old" standards don't satisfy. Agree they might be a cheap way to fill out one's...
