BTW, all vehicles need assembly and painting. [/quote]

A question that I was just about to ask. :-)
Are they made of the type of plastic that we use for 1/35?

Cheers

They sell 1/6 vehicles?

I went to a 1/6 forum and god, they are modelling freaks! They built the vehicles by scratchbuilding. Really awesome stuff.

Some 1/6 tanks are made of metals and can weigh up to 100kg. These are RC btw...

In 1/6 world, you can start a war...
Yes some vehicles are plastic, cardboard, styrene, polystyrene, metal.
Making scratch are cheaper than kits. But stuff like kubelwagon and bikes are normally assembled only need your painting...
and its just spraying and if you prefer to weather it..

I'm very interested in 1/6 figures... even before i started modelling, which was about 2 years ago.

Yesterday went to TMS, and saw this 1/6 knight hospitaller or something...wanna get that next time!

It's expensive though...

Yes the default that you are using is the US ARMY Officer Ranks. We can use other ranks, like mine is US marine enlistee ranks. Go to your "my account" setting to change

Hmm... I'm about to start on a new kit.. Academy's M113A1 A.P.C Vietnam.. Supposed to be a rather old kit which I got from MH. I'll be placing this APC together with my completed Academy's M151A1 light utility truck into a Vietnam Dio. Hope it'll turn out nice, afterall i'm still new to this stuff.

Cheers,
