I did assemble the drop tube from the Crete set. That's the one I was talking about... Can I send you some photos? The new dragon sets are incredible, detail superb! You know what works great for getting the parts out of the sprue? A nail clipper : ) Yeap a simple nail clipper... I'm working on the 80mm Mortar set and next will be the LG42 set (with a Tamiya Kettenkrad ). eventually I want to assmble the 75mm Pak FJ set and the 50mm set. Happy Modeling Hugo aka Fallschirmartz Stu,

I'd be interested to see your Holland Fallschirmjagers painted up! I was thinking of making a simple diorama in an old photo frame I have in the garage. Maybe not all four figures, but just a couple of them to start with, most likely crouched behind some cover. Fallschirmartz, your site looks good.

I use to build 1/35th as a kid.about 20+ years ago... I rediscovered my old love of WWII medeling back in 199 when I bought my first 1/6th action figure.But it is nice to rediscover 1/35th price and space wise much more affordable than 1/6th by the way here is my 1/6th work www.fallschirmartz.com Well it really is patience, . So now 2 months later I have almost every Dragon Fallschirm kit built. Minus a few larger kits which are on the waiting list hehe. I even managed to build a Vehicle Steyr 1500 command car. Which I am just in love with. I think I will add my 1/35th figures to my 1/6th site :) Happy modeling I just finished building that exact kit.

Being a model railroader, I used to know some guys who did 1/6th and 1/4th scale trains. We used to ride them. Buggers to lift onto the workbench. I see nothing wrong with doing a bit of other scales. I couldn't have done this model when I was 10. The USS Coral Sea was hard enough for me to build back then. That 1/6th scale is awesome!

Its worth trying other scales cause it helps you remember why you like your usual scale. The last big model I made was a Hydralisk at about 1:20 but even then it got a simple dry brush to look like green glowing obsidian as it was an adornment for terrain... Maybe I should get another and a marine or two. Its all practice at the end of the day. Its worth trying other scales cause it helps you remember why you like your usual scale.

I could be accused of having a lack of focus with my many 'distractions' that get in the way of painting and war gaming! And lets be honest, every time we hassle you for making yet another gaming/model related purchase, it's just because we're all jealous of you! Yeah, you’re probably right.

Thankfully I'm not quite that far gone... I had considered picking up a 1:48th or 1:35th vehicle to build up, but frankly I think that's beyond my skill level at this point. 1:35th figures seems like an ideal place to start.

This isn't really a random purchase, but relates more to the current "Display Painting" poll that's running at the moment. I've never really display painted anything and these models seem like an ideal time to try painting non-gaming pieces. Wait, is that a compliment or criticism?
