  1. I saw the 1 35 after I bought 1 72. I want it but can't see having 2 of them. But after looking at it again if it's reissued just might get it. So much more detail in 1 35.
  2. Wish my parents would by me kits, but at 36 I am on my own for that. What ever happened to briansmodlecars i use to use it then stopped for a few years while getting into other hobbies. Then went back and it was gone.
  3. That video is the Leopold trumpeter and dragon make 1/35 kits of it. The trumpeter one has a cool track with it. The engineering of these early WWII weapons it's amazing to me.
  4. Yah help would of been nice it's over 1700 pieces. I can't find figures that seem right for this. I have grabbed some other 1/72 vehicles to go with it to show off the size. I have never done a diorama, but maybe this would be a good piece to try one. I did get some railroad rock for the track. At the same time it would be a huge scene the tracks are 48 inches long. So would think I would need to make a space of 5 ft by 2 or 3ft.
  5. I was wondering if military transports would fall in truck or other on this forum. I have a few I want to post but don't want to stick in wrong place.
  6. A little background on real gun Schwerer Gustav (English: Heavy Gustaf, or Great Gustaf) and Dora were the names of two massive World War 2 German 80 cm K (E) railway siege guns. They were developed in the late 1934 by Krupp for the express purpose of destroying heavy fortifications, specifically those in the French Maginot Line. They weighed nearly 1,350 tonnes, and could fire shells weighing seven tonnes to a range of 37 kilometers. Designed in preparation for World War II, and intended for use against the deep forts of the Maginot Line, they were not ready for action when the Wehrmacht outflanked the line during the Battle of France. Gustav was used in the Soviet Union at the siege of Sevastopol during Operation Barbarossa. They were moved to Leningrad, and may have been intended for Warsaw. Gustav was captured by US troops and cut up, whilst Dora was destroyed near the end of the war to avoid capture by the Red Army.
  7. Started this about 2 years ago and got busy so just set it off to the side. then i moved so figured time to finish it up. As you can see this is a big kit. In 1:1 this thing was huge remember this is 1/72 scale.
  8. Hlj.com just sent an email last night from japan model and hobby show of new tamiya and aoshima releases coming soon. Didn't see specific dates so could be late this year or early next. 14 new cars and trucks a cool looking nissan sunny truck. 1 racing mclaren f1
  9. Ralph what tires are you using. I can't find any for 1/12 scale.
  10. Yah there up there in price. I stick with Tamiya fork sets and scale motorsport carbon. They aren't to much around 100 or less with bike. You can find good deals on amazon for them. Always wanted to do a top studio set but after price of everything it's about 300 plus.
  11. Any Koenigsegg 1/12 Laferrari from Tamiya Chevy 2500 Duramax crew cab
  12. Nice build. If You want to get into more detail you should look at top studio and studio27 they have great bike parts form real chains to full detail sets. Scalemotorsport has some carbon templates and photo etched set also.
  13. Contact Ralph Torres he's doing same car right now. He built a ls and think his buddy is casting it now. Check his build thread.
