I would love to make a dio with 1/72 scale.

Where can i get figures in that scale? I heard about the excellence of this brand, Preiser. Which hobby shop carries this brand? Or any brand that deals with 1/72?

Thanks guys

You can try the shop at Center point or Tiong Bahru. They have lots of 1/72 fig sets. But frankly, i prefer them bigger like 1/35 but not as big as 1/18. If any bigger, i prefer 1/6 now thats easier to manage.

Well 1/6 is huge man. You can put a kid on the tank and he can go riding away! :-)

Is that 3 of the same kits you have there?

Very nicely done

Its not mine, its from a fellow collector from the Singster 1/6 forum. By the way, the tanks are RC

You do need lots of space for those 1/6 tanks don't you?

Well yeah you do need alot of space. But be informed, 1/6 produce other vehicles and equipments just like 1/35.

EG anti tank guns, bicycles, motorcycles, half tracks, helicopters.

Some parts of those 3 pictures do look inproportional. Like the hills in the 2nd picture.

But all in all, Bravo!

Eerie, are those your friends models? That's some German Gathering in Singapore! :-)

I can see the Medic

Yes german figures are cheaper, easier to get and more people are collecting them. And they look very good.
I myself own
3 101st Airborne Paratroopers
1 82nd Airborne
2 Fallshcirmjager (German paratroopers)
1 Brit Royal marine commando
1 Brit Paratrooper
1 German Radio operator.

And what are these kits made of? Models?

Interested?
COme join the dark side.....
Its like fully articulated male barbie dolls. But with everything that you eventhough off. What is not possible in 1/35 is possible here. Imagine, six of this figure make 1 of us.
Anything.
Russians, Americans, British, Germans, anything.
Loads of uniforms, loads of weapons from small luger to large 88mm and larger tanks.
We have large scale photo shoots with fellow collectors all around singapore.
its a small community but larger than our scale modeller here.
Modern soldiers, special forces, assault boats, helicopters, whatever you can think off...

I think modelling scale 1/35 would take a lot of my time/money already. Thanks for the offer though. At least I know there're people in Singapore who collect these "giant" barbie dolls =x. Interesting hobby though.

Its not a barbie doll its an action figure....

Haha... Okay eerie. Action Figures

I always buy my skif products from hobbyterra. It's a Ukraine online shop and the price w/shipping charges are cheaper compare to buying them from local hobby shops. They sell alot of 1/72 products and many are not available in S'pore.

Are those x-USSR kits good? Never really hear of those models before. Might have seen them, but forgotten.

I'm not really sure about 1/72 scale as I only built 1/35 scale models. But skif kits are ok, so are rest of ex-USSR / Eastern Bloc manufacturers. It's the unique range of vehicles that they put in plastic that attracts me.
