Officer member Tofujesse is well known for his excellent casting skills.  I recently got the opportunity to pull Tofujesse away from his non stop work to take part in a exclusive Q and A session.  Here in Part 2 we discuss Tofujesse’s Store,  how to contact him,  his experience with “haters” and some fun Off Topic questions.  In case you missed Part 1,  you can view it Here Q16:  Your reputation has grown significantly over the last few months which started with Meddatron’s flicker account to your very own website. Were you surprised how quickly the store took off? I was extremely surprised how fast things took off. I never really planned on opening a store but I kept getting so many requests. Thanks Meddatron. Q17:  The 30% off sale generated a lot of buzz in the collecting community. How successful was the sale and do you have ... Read More »

Officer member Tofujesse is well known for his excellent casting skills.  I recently got the opportunity to pull Tofujesse away from his non stop work to take part in a exclusive Q and A session.  The session went so well that I will be releasing the interview in 2 separate parts.  Here in Part 1 we discuss how Tofujesse got started into Casting,  his second to none work ethic and I ask some questions that were submitted by members of the forum. Q1:  What got you into Casting and why? I guess you can say I have been doing it my whole life. When I was a kid I use to make impression molds with my Star Wars figures and I would melt my crayons to make more figures. I really got in to casting and prop making right after I got out of the service in 96. I got ... Read More »

Many of you will remember our exclusive sneak peek at forum member Falcone’s Wave 1 weapon assortment back in April of this year.  If you didn’t get the chance to view Officer member Fogger1138’s review you can view it Here.  Falcone recently sent me a advanced set of his upcoming Wave 1 weapon assortment. The 10 weapon set will be available at Legionfourteenproductions.com sometime in September.  All the weapons will be  available for only $1 or less with 6 of them selling for only $0.75! The first thing you will notice is the amount of detail on the weapons.  This set has some of the most detailed and realistic guns out on the market.  A few of the big stand outs to me are the MSG90,  UMP45,  G36C and my personal favorite the Galil.  I did the best I could with my ...

Here at the Fighting118th we had the privilege of getting a exclusive sneak peek at Falcone’s Wave 1 weapon assortment.  One of our Officer’s Fogger1138 has the story: I was fortunate enough to be given review copies of some of Falcone’s upcoming 1:18th scale weapon releases. You may have seen him posting in the forums Here He’s making some 1:18th scale weapons that we haven’t seen yet, to provide some variety for customizers and those who like to outfit their figures with different gear.  My understanding is that currently he plans on making these available at a cost of $1 per weapon. Nine out of the ten weapons in his “wave one” were made available to me by SlayerDave with permission from Falcone.  It’s worth noting that these are early release copies and may not reflect the final product,  as ...

  Fighting 1:18th member pickelhaube, well known for his realistic Modern Era and WWII custom 1:18 scale vehicle kits, recently took time away from his busy schedule to answer questions posed by The Fighting 1:18th forum members. Q1 – I imagine you were collecting before you started customizing. When did you start collecting and what was it that drew you into collecting 1:18 scale vehicles? pickel: I have always been a collector. I Started with Nazi Helmets, switched to WW1 steel Helmets, then switched to Nazi Daggers, and finally ended up collecting WW1 style spike helmets (Pickelhaubes). Prices went sky high. So, I had to stop collecting militaria and discovered 1/18 planes and tanks. Nice and big! Q2 – When and why did you start customizing? pickel: I started trying to convert a P-40 into a P-36 about 6 years ... Read More »
