    G.I. Kre-O, Kre-O, MegaBloks CoD and LEGO discussions

    Turtles do not have codes on the blind bags like Halo to figure out what you are about to buy or does nobody track them online? Edit: Google is your friend. Codes below for Mega Bloks TMNT Series 3 Blind Bags! . Finally found these guys! With the whole box of 24 still there, I was able to...

    Target only buys a few sets a year in store and Walmart a couple more. Tru has the most in a physical store since they get exclusives, but Amazon is definitely where to buy. I think the name change is good for new customers since it separates the lines from the YUGE Mega Bloks. Lego has Duplo.

    The name change is only for the adult oriented lines from what I understand. A few of the sets from Halo and Destiny had changed a couple months ago. NSA's kid is going to have an amazing army.

    Be careful with the battery. Since they have switched to Li-Ion, people are having lots of problems with them dying from overcharging. Mine worked the one time I used it, but I run my tanks on NiMH batteries so I do not have to worry about them exploding and they hold a charge for sporadic use.

    1/18th Scale Mi-24 Hind Will Become A Reality !!!

    1:16 Panzer 3 treads worked really well on my 21C M2 and you can make them any length you desire.

    Thunder Run

    Basically done. Metal road wheels and sprockets will need to be painted and weathered once they arrive, but they will not change anything cosmetically. I just need to find a few mre boxes and water/fuel cans for the rear rack.

    Thunder Run

    Yeah. I'm sure it can be done with paint, but I couldn't. Especially in the 30min it took me to do the whole tank. So I added glass to the 9 periscopes in the turret. I'll do the 3 for the driver next time I open up the hull. So damn tedious. Stupid ocd.

    It's pretty much a pastel crayon like you used in art class. I figured out the best way was to draw a line with it and then take a damp paint brush and blot it in the direction you want it to fade. The more f'd up the brush, the better. Best part is it wipes off with water if you mess up or...

    Thunder Run

    I want that T-90 bad, but had to jump on this cheap Abrams, so not sure if I can pick it up upon release. My dreams of a $106 T-90 from Costway has been shattered since they have significantly upped the price on their current tanks. They were up to $148 yesterday.

    Thunder Run

    After shattering the plastic fender on a cement drain spout at full speed, I went hunting for a sheet of neoprene. I then found a Tamiya sand weathering stick in my old stuff and decided to give it a try. It appears much more linear in the pics than to the naked eye. Road wheels and...

    Thunder Run

    You are right and I thought the same (which is why I named this thread Thunder Run), but for some reason Discovery modeled M1a1's and 2's for their 73 Easting program. The A2 was delivered a year later.

    So my tank markings are 3rd Cav, 2nd squad, F troop if I did my homework correctly. They were the first troop across the burms in Desert Storm for the hook and engaged the Republican Guard. On Military Channel's Greatest Tank Battles, they have real footage of the F4 Abrams crossing the burm...

    Put a lens in the commander's sight since it was just an open hole. I'll put clear "glass" in the periscopes when I feel like repeating that pain of the Leo.

    No, but I made my own open doors and painted lens on my Leopard 2. Pretty simple to cut 2 rectangles out of plastic and glue them on. Yes, but Costway bumped the prices up by $27 each last night on their website. Last I checked, their ebay store Toolsempire and Amazon store Costzon are at...
