TUS Motorcycle and SS rider

As I was kitbashing this figure, I couldn't help but thinking about my first kitbash - during the winter, nine years ago - a Waffen-SS private, out of a 21^st C Eastern Front Rifleman and adding the camouflage smock and helmet from the 21^st C German Machine Gunner and arming him with a M-1 Carbine and M-1911 pistol - based off of the infamous Kampfgruppe Hansen group photos from the Time Life WWII series book "The Battle of the...

CAN ANYONE TELL ME ABOUT THE CYBER HOBBY US AMMO SETS

feeds@yuku.com (War4) — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 21:42:16 GMT

I've just acquired several of the Cyber Hobby US Ammo Sets but there is no information on them (neither the package or the shells) to tell me the contents. Each set comes with two shells and some have more than one warhead. Can someone tell me what shells are in each of the four sets? Thanks if you can.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR IN 2010

feeds@yuku.com (War4) — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 21:36:40 GMT

In 2009 we finally got the US 75 Pack Howitzer, the US Springfield M1903A4 Sniper Rifle, the British Welbike, the German 5cm AT Gun (among other items). Here are some of the things I'd like to finally see in 2010 (and you can list some of yours):

-German M41 Semi-automatic Rifle
-US 105mm Howitzer
-Polish Radom 9mm Pistol
-French MAS 36 Rifle
-Soviet Nagant 38/44 Carbine
-Japanese Type 92 Nambu "Woodpecker" Heavy Machine Gun
-US/British...

Homemade decals.

feeds@yuku.com (Freekshowbilly) — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 19:39:01 GMT

I have to say this was way more tricky then I thought. Scaled down some 1:1 scale decals and printed them on a sticker sheet. Sprayed some aerosol glue over the paper to give the decals that ' weathered ' look. Scr*wed up thing was that they then where sticky on both sides. Oh well , live and learn. (Sorry for the poor quality pics, not my camera.)

German Army Chaplains

feeds@yuku.com (pzrwest) — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 09:11:31 GMT

In another forum(SAG) a member is doing an army chaplin. I thought I would pass on some usefull pics of the chaplins. Here are 3 scans from Davis's book German Army Uniforms and Insignia 1933-1945 showing chaplins

Scan 2 shows both Catholic and Protesant chaplins

This last scan is interesting as it...

Which WW2 figure released this past year would you recommend someone to buy?

feeds@yuku.com (winterdan) — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 05:15:24 GMT

It has to be a figure released within 2009... also take in to account that the figure should offer good value for money......on the strength of what i have seen so far this year Soldier Story's DAK infantryman,DID's Private Daniel & 3R's Japanese Paratrooper are all among figures i would recommend....with the SS Dak infantryman probably winning the final vote.

Is anyone else shocked we've yet to see a Bulge Anniversary figure?

feeds@yuku.com (JOSH 51st) — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 19:02:30 GMT

I'm surprised we have not seen anything from Dragon, DiD or Soldier Story. They all had 65th Anniversary releases for D-Day, I figured they'd definitely do something for the bulge as well... Maybe we'll still see a surprise. But if not, I guess I'll have to continue to wait for a winter GI in an overcoat and M-43 jacket, real material overshoes and armed with a BAR... I'd really like to see DiD and SS's take on those items.

I'll keep my fingers crossed....

1st Canadian Para 1944

feeds@yuku.com (budro 65) — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 15:56:31 GMT

I have been experimenting with wood bases latley and I wanted to spruce them up abit. The base is home made out of good old Western Canadian Maple. I have attached a WWII 1st Canadian cap badge to the base which I think really sets off the base nicely. Of course that is just my humble biased opinion. LOL

The figure is mainly Dml with all items repainted and weathered only slightly. The enfeild has been repainted and scratch built more in scale sling and the headsculpt is one of...

Facial Hair?

feeds@yuku.com (NBTrav) — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 21:37:32 GMT

Not sure if this is the right place for this, but I'm just wondering what the WWII policy was on facial hair on a solider?
I wanna do a bash using a new figure body I got, but he's got a little chin-beard, so I'm just wondering how accurate it'd be.

I do know that when in the field, the facial hair would grow a bit, and in Band of Brothers, some of them even had full out beards,
so, any help would be great!
Thanks in advance

One Shot's Pacific Marines WWII

feeds@yuku.com (one shot) — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 21:50:09 GMT

So here are some pics of my WWII Pacific Marines. Some of these were posted a couple of years ago on the OSW, then again some of you have not seen them at all. By no means are all of mine correct in the gear they wear. I use what I have and hope they turn out great. I'm no Graeylin when it comes to the historical knowledge. (Graeylin's the master of that).
Hope you troops enjoy what I have put together. Some were taken on my kitchen table earlier today, I am hopefully getting...
