Indians on water (1 Viewer)

Mirof .. that is the most interesting use of RC modeling I have seen.
At first I thought this was a video of the JJD RF Indian canoe sets.

Actually, reminds me of Maine drivers all coming to an intersection. ...{sm2}

LOL! I bought one in November. Got super detailed player figures from an online producer, painted up the Hurricanes....

and technology has done NOTHING to improve the game! They just bounce around crazy, the Quarterback passes 10 feet in a random direction, and the noise is still annoying.

You dream of this awesome game, and like when we were kids, its the revenge of reality! :(

My big disappointment was the Toy Soldier sets that you saw in the back of comic books in the 50's and 60's. From the pictures and the description it appears (to a 8 year old) that you will receive 1000 soldiers, ships, planes, trucks, tanks and more.

ALL for $1.25

I remember thinking how I was going to be able to set them all up in my room. What furniture did I have to move?

Like you Mike, I watched the post every day. Waiting ....

THEN ... a 3" X 3" X 5" box arrives and my dreams were shattered. :mad: {sm4} Hummm ... :rolleyes2: ... maybe that explains a lot about me now!

I loved those comic book ads. Revolutionary war, WWII, Knights, etc. I can visualize them right now. I would imagine having them and having big battles, but no money. Sometimes I got TS from cereal boxes. Fond memories.

Over the years I have come upon boxes of them, at local flea markets and yard sales. If they were a few dollars I would buy it.

Looking at them NOW they seem to hold a bit more charm and interest than they did in the 60's and 70's.

I don't know .. :rolleyes2: .. maybe with AGE comes WISDOM?

I bought and still have a lot of those sets as they were right in my wheelhouse, ho/oo scale. The AWI one was great, came with cannons, cavalry, Indians, Hessians, it got loads of use as AWI figures, Napoleonics, etc, etc.

I bought the WWII one as well called "Tank Battle", it came with "exploding" tanks, dragons teeth, pillboxes, Americans and Germans that were Marx figures in ho/oo scale.

I also bought the Chickamauga set, came with ho/oo scale ACW figures that were again Marx figures scaled down to ho/oo scale.

And yes, I still have them all.

I also have a number of the Marx Miniature playsets; AWI, Blue and Grey, 20 Minutes to Berlin, Iwo Jima, knights castle, Charge of the light brigade and the cream of the crop, Border battle which was an Alamo playset.

They are great sets, glad I have them.
 
Yes, I remember "Tank Battle". My friend had one. HO ones were great. Some of those sets were plastic flats, like the one LaRRy described. Those were disappointing.

I was at the lucky age when the sets went from flats to 3d. The Rev War one IS great.

Some of the old Flats sets were tall figures, like 1/48 scale, LOL.

The later 3D sets were made mostly by Giant, who famously copied Airfix, Britains and marx 1/32 figures in 1/72 scale.


I think we hijacked Mirof's thread :(
