Military models


Recommended Posts

Evening folks, I'm looking for recommendations for military model ranges, I lack the patience for airfix etc & carpal tunnel rules out fidly model construction so what options are there?

 

I don't mind the likes of Kobi/Lego but really looking for quality built diecast type.

Next time I speak to the boy, I'll ask him to go to BiCamera ... it's a Japanese tech store that has an insane range of stuff.  I seem to remember going through their toy section and there being some really cool looking models.   Not sure how much assembly they require, or the brand names.

 

Perhaps they'll be available some how through mail order some where.

 

 

Another idea would be to find a Warhammer or D&D forum and see if they have any ideas.

It is sci-fi, but lots of little models.... I'm thinking they'd know where to get the stuff you're looking for.

I've got some lead soldiers in the loft. The kids used to play with them when they were babies. 😉

I finally decided to go down the modelling route, hands currently dotted with Revell enamel paint.

I wish I had the time to do this. I live directly opposite a model shop and they have a butt ton of awesome looking stuff. 

All of the lads in there do Airsoft aswell which kinda helps the conversations we've had about paints and whatnot.

😁

Very nice. I've got a couple of airfix kits I've had for years that I never seem to get round to starting

It's an attempt to buy less airsoft pews (not many I don't already have that I want(famous last words)), I might have simply moved from one collection to another tho, already looking at air compressors... DOH!

Can you tell I've taken a step back from spending my kids inheritace on airsoft?

 

Spending it on 'other things'

 

Hands up if you've spend your fair share of time in the back of a crowded landy.
