Name for a small dog... how about "Jumo" after the name of the Me-262's engine? Jumo is short for Junkers Motorenbau. Alternatively, there's always good old "Spitz".

Guy 2nd from right is wearing a life belt. Difficult to say whether cartridge belt can be seen anywhere there. However, a cartridge belt is definitely visible on foreground guy 4th from left, hanging below his life belt, if one brightens the image in a photo editor. But then hard to say whether...

What will Rob live his life for now?

Sorry for not seeing your question until now. About two years ago, communicating through this forum, I put an order in to Fleurbaix for over $125 for a TAW 8 inch howitzer and officer figure. I paid up front but never received the items nor follow-up communication (after promises the items were...

Hmmm I'd be curious to see such a study and question whether it exists. I've owned three pet rats in the past, which are all genetically descended from the same bunch they get lab rats from. In short, they're the most docile animals in the world (and as smart as dogs!). In the pet store I've...

As I understand it, the first person who died in this affair was shot by the police. Since a major catalyst of these riots was (perceived) police corruption and abuse, I, like Damian, fail to see how encouraging police to crack down even harder on these depressed communities will achieve...

Our governments seem to have no problem automatically siding with the rioters in Egypt, Libya, Syria, and every other Middle Eastern, Asian and otherwise foreign country, where we assume the rioters are victims who have rightful grievances and that the riots are symptoms of fundamental problems...

You take pleasure in this? Do you think that thousands of these people losing their jobs, homes and money is actually going to reduce their propensity to riot and commit crimes in the future? Because that should be the objective, should it not? In this thread I read much discussion of...

I'm just happy to know in this day and age that there are companies assembling (and painting) 95% of these vehicles for us - 15 years ago if you wanted a panzer tank you had to build it piece by piece yourself - from a kit.

Great to hear that the armor can be completely removed, that feature puts this release at the top of the pack of Panzer IVs and will be very useful for my Kharkov setup.

So you can definitely take all the side skirt armor off, on both sides of the tank and the turret? Can you also take off the armor mounting rails? The CS website isn't clear about this.

As I understand it, the Marine general at the time was part of the problem as well. I think Louis is correct in his assessment on this one: "And so finally, it is the conduct of the marines themselves, specifically their leadership, that one must take to task. MG Rupertus was undoubtedly a...

Yep. I could never figure out why BoB is held up as being so great. The only episode I thought was halfway good was the Carentan one, along with one or two other good bits like the attack on Foy. At least in this Pacific episode I could easily tell one character from another, in BoB the whole...

I think they're saving the airfield battle scene for Peleliu.

That was my line of thinking. The original TAW figures have wonderful sculpts and look good in groups but the painting on individual figures was only so-so. It's not that high a standard to live up to. WW1 uniforms weren't too complicated so they got away with this fine. I do think their...

Okay Fr. Greg just pmed me, the order apparently is ready to go.

First off, I'm more than willing to give Fr. Greg the chance to get better at his craft given that even the great King and Country went through a long period of improvement (their original figures and vehicles looked horrible). Now I wish I could provide some first hand opinion of their work...

I like the playability aspect of the opening hatches and doors on this model quite a bit. In my mind it helps make these pieces look and feel less like chunks of polystone and more like detailed models. I just got my halftrack and the little engine you reveal is quite impressive. That said, the...
