I started to collect 1/6 scale figures too

[HERMAN BIX]

Woah they are awesome
Although the pole in the ass is making me a little uncomfortable !!

You know this is a feeder addiction to a 1/6th Tank mindset

[Ad Lav]

I look forward to the 1/6th tank or vehicle you buy for them to ride in

[Tankbear]

Hi Paul, a couple of great figures you've got there it's a slippery slope, Ad lav tricked me into buying his 1/6 Rc kubelwagen and since getting it I've been looking at more and more 1/6 stuff so I bought this figure to use as the driver for now as well





Cheers, Lee.

I had a few GI Joes when I was a kid. When Dragon came out with Hans I saw him in a magazine and had to get him.

350+ figures later I had to quit!!! Along with a load of bought and scratch built vehicles Imwas running out of room.

Most are in storage, but I have several dozen tankers and airmen displayed and a third of my 24'x24' garage being used as storage for the vehicles. I scratch built a MKIV Ausf G and a MarderIII Ausf H, as well as the crew compartment/nacelle of a FW189 Uhu.

Can you post some photos of your tanks? I'm sure many members like myself are very interested

Here's a shot of my MarderIII AusfH:

I'm sure there's plenty wrong with them, but at the time (mid 1990s) there wasn't a whole lot of available parts that were accurate, I had to go by what I saw in books and 1/35 models. The wheels and tracks were either made by me or purchased from Panzerwerks (Steve Hoeger). The Sdkfz 250 may have been a kit I bought and built, the rest were from scratch.

The FW189A was really a fun build. While looking for data I was contacted by a guy that was in the process of writing a book on the plane and he provided me with a ton of photos. I took photos as I was building also and must have several hundred. I tried to put as much detail inside as I could, down to ammo cans for the MGs (Dragon models) and instruments. If I can I'll post a few but I have to take each photo and downsize them to post here.

I just noticed this thread is a bit odd due to the member that began it not being present now.
I most certainly did not pen the thread originally !
