Here's the place that all you Ultimate Soldier fans can get together and share ideas about your hobby. I would ask you to follow a few simple RULES when posting here for the convenience of your fellow troops. 1 - If you are a toy dealer,this is NOT the place to post your advertisements. This is a fan board, not a bulletin board. I have a separate links page for you. I don't mind if once or twice a month you post a special sale advertisement here, but beyond that any advertisements will be deleted. 2 - For all you troops out there who would like to trade, I would ask if you would please post long trade lists inside of a reply to your trade post instead of on the main page. 3 - Keep all topics Ultimate Soldier related when possible. We do discuss other action figures here, but we are mainly an Ultimate Soldier site. 4 - No foul language or argumentative posts please. Purchase signed Art Prints of original 21st box cover art by illustrator and decorated Veteran Marc Ericsen. CLICK HERE TO VISIT HIS SITE TO CONTACT HIM AND ORDER YOURS NOW! Lastly I wanted to mention this Comm. Room is only one piece of this website, so if you have the time be sure to visit the rest of it for more cool stuff. Click Link Below. Have fun troops! -- GreenLeader Over & Out.

• ATTENTION: Fall Photo Contest -- GreenLeader, 17:56:48 10/01/12 Mon (96-41-218-55.dhcp.elbg.wa.charter.com/96.41.218.55)
  
  Yep you heard that right :) Our old friend and generous benefactor Grand Sport has offered to sponsor another photo contest for us here at the UnOfficial Fan Page.
  
  Now our job is to come up with a good "workable" idea that we all would like to do and then get to it :)
  
  I said "workable" above because I've been straining the old brain here trying to come up with one myself that we haven't done before and all I got that I liked was one that just wouldn't be "inclusive" enough and would be kinda rough too :)
  
  So again Grand Sport and I are going to have to ask for some suggestions from you guys. It doesn't have to be something we haven't done already but if you come up with one we haven't your idea will surely get more notice from me at least ;) That's if it has the "more inclusive" thing in it that is :) That's most important, it has to be an idea that all of us will want to participate in, and can.
  
  So if anyone has anything they would like to throw out there, by all means don't hesitate. I'll read them all I promise :) Thanks guys!!!
  
  
  
  (On a side note: Having a bit of trouble uploading the photos for tonight's site update. So....you know the drill.... I'll get it there when I can. Thanks for your patience in the meantime.)

  Have you seen a website dedicated to making your yard 1/6 scale? Over at one sixth division I saw an outdoor shoot where the bushes in the background had been trimmed to resemble 1/6 trees. I was wondering if anyone had taken the trouble to research what real plants would be realistic in one sixth.

  OK troops, time for the first site update of the week. And we'll start off with another of our continuing photo stories. So let's not waste anymore time and get right to it!
  
  Starting off this week for us is our old friend Irish13 with part two of "Survival", continued from photo set 4569. In this episode we learn a little bit more of what's going on and who is hunting our hero. A lot more great shots here too from ol' Irish. I can't wait for the next episode already, I'm definitely hooked on this one. For now though, be sure to check out this cool part two! Special thanks to Irish13 for sending this terrific new episode in and sharing it with us. Sharp Salute!

  Well guys, I guess that does it for today. We're getting a little low on photos, so definitely be sure to come on back regular time and check it out. Until then... take it lite men.
  
  Sharp Salute!

  OK troops, time for the last site update of the week. We'll finish off the week with another of our continuing photo stories, so let's get right to it!
  
  Wrapping up another week for us is our old friend Hogie309 with the next episode of his WWII Town of Marwencol saga, continued from photo set 4568. This one is entitled "The Salesmen Meet Deja Thoris." This episode was a big one, so I split it up so today we will only do part one. Today we are back with the troops at the Bridge at Dariaville and the civilian women who are making their way to Marwencol. Not a whole lot of storyline in this first part, but as you would probably guess a bucketload of fantastic photos. Hogie's troops just get cooler and cooler looking. So definitely don't miss all these great shots! Special thanks to Hogie309 for sending this cool new episode in and sharing it with us. Sharp Salute!

So be sure to come on back regular time Sunday night/ Monday morning when we'll get this whole thing started up again. Until then... take it lite men.
  
  Have a great weekend guys!
  
  Sharp Salute!

  OK troops, time for another cool site update from our fellow men in the field. Today we'll be going with one of our continuing photo stories, so let's get right to it!
  
  Up for today is our old friend Warriors 1st BN with part 29 of his cool science fiction / fantasy story "The Mission." It's been a little while since we've seen an episode of The Mission and personally I'm glad to see it back. I always loved this one. For any of you guys that don't remember what is going on from the last several episode, I'll give you a brief recap. The Mission team had come onto a planet, then one of their teammates Motoko got bitten by some vampires and the team has been running around with their new found allies trying to find a cure. In this episode, it looks like Motoko finally gets her cure and it looks like the team is going to finally be heading off of this planet, hopefully back to earth. Once again some cool stuff from our old friend. So if you've been anxiously awaiting the next part of The Mission, then you definitely won't want to miss part 29 "Into the Fire." Special thanks to Warriors 1st BN for sending this cool new episode in and sharing it with us. Sharp Salute!

  OK troops, time for the first site update of the week. A lot of pictures in this first set, so let's get right to it!
  
  Up for today is our old friend Cbtengr with a photo shoot he calls "From Horse to Humvee." Actually this is more just a sort of a shoot of his awesome motor pool and is starts off with a couple horses. He's got a ton of great customized vehicles here, mostly 21st of course and even a couple custom projects. Then at the end of the shoot he sends us in a bunch of bonus shots of the room that houses all this great stuff. Some of us have seen this room before, but it sure is awesome to see it again. Boy, he sure does have a lot of great stuff to look at in there, like I said. There's even some unfinished projects in here as well I believe. So definitely be sure to take a peek at our old friend's fantastic 1/6th collection. It's an impressive one! Special thanks to Cbtengr for sending this cool update in and sharing it with us. Sharp Salute!

  OK troops, time for another cool site update from our fellow men in the field. Sorry about nothing yesterday, but I was a little under the weather. Lucky it was a 24 hour thingie, so let's not waste anymore time and get right to today's offering.
  
  Returning for today is friend and fellow trooper Alan of the Vagabonds with the next episode of "The Lost City of Naalra." More cool stuff here from Alan, all kinds of interesting stuff in this one. He tried his hand at some new special effects and I think they worked out great in my opinon. I really loved that beam rifle effect. Also, he's chosen sort of an out of the ordinary shoot location. Once again though, more cool strangeness and storyline. So be sure to check out this terrific new episode! Special thanks to Alan for sending this cool new installment in and sharing it with us. Sharp Salute!

  OK troops, time for the first site update of the week. Just a little short one to start off with, but pretty darn cool I thought. So let's get right to it!
  
  Up for today is our new recruit Darknight with another one of his scratch vehicle projects. Actually, this was his first attempt at anything 1/6th scratch buiding, so it's kind of an old project. He did this one completely by eye with photo references so he mentions that it wasn't completely accurate. I thought he did a really nice job though! Much better than I could do anyway! This project represents a WWII German Krupp Protze Kfz 70 personnel wagon. He even built a 75mm light field gun for it to tow. He said he planned on doing another one in the future with Afrika Corps markings instead. So be sure to go take a peek at this one, really cool stuff here! Special thanks to Darknight for sending this terrific project in and sharing it with us. Sharp Salute!

So be sure to come on back regular time and check it out. Until then... take it lite men.

  OK troops, time for another cool site update from our fellow men in the field. So let's not waste anymore time and get right to it!
  
  Up for today is our old friend Hogie309. Nope, not another Marwencol episode as you might expect, this one is a little update to his Everest diorama project that we saw not too long ago. He's added a new piece to it and of course, in total Hogie fashion, he changes it from great to a work of art! I'm sure you guys that remember some earlier Marwencol episodes will remember the new character he's added to this diorama and how he relates to the other figure. I thought it was very cool that they are together again forever in this piece of artwork. So be sure to check this one out, you won't want to miss it!

  OK troops, time for another cool site update from our fellow men in the field. One of our continuing photo stories for today, so let's get right to it!
  
  Up for today is friend and fellow trooper Alan of the Vagabonds with the next Vagabonds episode from his strange, surreal story "The lost city of Naalra". I really can't give away any of the storyline away here this time, but I will say if you enjoyed Alan's last episode then you're sure to enjoy this one as well. More great dialog and more great weirdness! :) Of course, some really darn good photo work too. So if you've been waiting for the next episode of the Vagabonds series like I have, then definitely don't miss this one. Special thanks to Alan for sending this cool new episode in and sharing it with us. Sharp Salute!

  OK troops, time for the last site update of the week. So let's get right to it!
  
  Wrapping up this week for us is our old friend Gun Shy with the next episode of his Gunnie's Phunnies video series. The one is entitled "The Joker's Way" and features the Hot Toys Joker figure.... talking! A lot of cool other effects in it too. I like the textured still photos that had a comic book feel. Gun Shy said he put about 10 hours into this and you can really see it, he's done a very cool piece of work here. The video is only about a minute and a half, so it shouldn't take that long to download and it worked for me perfectly in the Quick time player and Real player. So be sure to go take a peek at this one! Special thanks to Gun Shy for sending this cool project in and sharing it with us. Sharp Salute!

Until then... take it lite men.

  I set it out to dry last evening and I own goats for cutting down the weeds. Well, they were let out this morning and out of the window I heard them "move" something and panic woke screaming out the window at them. The tank ha s a little damage to it and can be repaired but the saving grace is that I had some weights on top of it to level it out and that stopped them from totally destroying the tank. I was lucky! Will update later...

  OK troops, time for the last site update of the week and we'll be wrapping it up with one of our continuing photo stories. So let's get right to it!
  
  Wrapping up this week for us again is our old friend Hogie309 with part two of his newest Marwencol episode "The Dream." I'm still not really sure what's going on here. It looks like it has something to do with some filmmakers, Hogie, Hogie's men and some big business types in black suits :) I'm sure it will unfold as it goes along. Of course, just because I'm not sure what's going on doesn't mean there's not plenty of great looking photos for us to enjoy. Hogie's photography as always is top notch. So if you've been waiting for part two like I have, then definitely be sure to check this one out! Special thanks to Hogie309 for sending this cool part two in and sharing it with us. Sharp Salute!

  OK troops, time for another cool site update from our fellow men in the field. So let's get right to it!
  
  Up for today is our old friend Pvt. Mel. It seems he's been working on a new project for a new diorama - A WWII German sentry box. I have to say in my opinion, Mel has done some very sharp work here. He's even loaded it down with tons of equipment and even a sentry. He first starts out with it in its base unbuilt form then moves onto some photos of it assembled and then some final shots of it with all the gear and the figure. Great stuff from our old friend once again, so definitely be sure to go take a peek at this one! Special thanks to Pvt. Mel for sending this cool project in and sharing it with us. Sharp Salute!

  Hey guys I bought a resin head off of eBay (no not from that bootlegger) and it has no neck hole drilled. I did some research online and everything I found seemed to be Dremel related. No I don't own a dremel. Why? I have no idea :) LOL I need one :)
  
  Anyway what I was hoping to get an answer to, from anyone who had done this neck hole drilling procedure before is:
  
  Should I just buy a Dremel ;) or is there another (cheaper) method that I can use that won't risk breaking the thing to bits?
  
  Thanks for any help you can lend on this subject. Sharp salute!

I don't know how that works. I guess thpugh if you wanted to publish an Ultimate Soldier Identification book and you had to pay someone who owned the property, then I suppose it would still apply.

• Popping back in -- C.Martin, 06:17:08 09/06/12 Thu (74-143-145-82.static.insightbb.com/74.143.145.82)
  Man, it's been years since I visited the site- just haven't had the time for any customizing or kitbashing.
  
  What I have done recently though is watch "Collection Intervention" and saw folks parting with their hoarded treasures. And that made me think of this site.
  
  I have tons of 21st stuff just sitting around, not even on display, collecting dust. Not sure I'm ever going to get back into the hobby, so instead of being selfish, I think it's time to let it go.
  
  What I'm looking for from you guys is sort of an open appraisal- what should I expect to get for all my unboxed, dusty stuff. I'll put a list in the reply. I'm not really looking to box up and ship stuff across country- especially not my ginormous M2 bradley I'm letting go. And any money/trade is going to the kids, who are more hoarding then me and expressed anguish I was trying to thin the 1/6th herd.
  
  Great to see the site still active- I'll have to try and get back into at least lurking here.

  • It's really hard to appraise the stuff accuratly old friend. Check eBay to give you a better idea. I'd say though, expect to get more than you paid initially for all the 21st vehicles for sure. I've seen the Bradley and Littlebirds go for quite a bit on eBay(even broken). Even the less ought after Arctic Humvee should well fro what I've seen. The Hasbro police cycle and the humvee should do well too from what I've seen them go for on eBay. Unless you have something rare like the Modern Russian para though, the figures aren't really going for a lot on average. (NT) -- GL, 07:38:33 09/06/12 Thu

      • I hate to say it but a mint boxed 21st Modern Soviet Paratrooper figure set just went for $393 on eBay just yesterday. I was watching but I haven't lost my mind yet, like the guy who paid that much for him :) LOL So I didn't win him :) So if you have him even loose you better get him back in shape :) I'll put the link to the ended eBay auction for him in the reply for any who are sceptical :) -- GL, 07:58:26 09/06/12 Thu

  Does anyone here remember the commercial that 21st century put out featuring the 12" action figures, helicopter, with the bad guys and good guys coming to life in some kids bedroom and battling it out? If so where can I find it online to watch again. Jason

  OK troops, time for the last site update of the week and we'll wrap it up with one of our continuing photo stories. So let's get right to it!
  
  Wrapping up this week for us like he's done so many times is our old friend Hogie309 with the first part of another terrific Marwencol episode, this one entitled "The Dream." Not a lot of storyline here yet, but as always, more fantastic photos. I really can't wait to see the next part to see where Hogie is going with this. So if you've been waiting for the next Marwencol episode like I have or just been waiting to see some great outdoor shots in a fantastic location, then be sure to check out this cool part one. Special thanks to Hogie309 for sending this cool episode in and sharing it with us. Sharp Salute!

  Well guys, I guess that wraps up this week. Definitely some stuff I didn't get to, we got sort of a surge this week for the first time in a long time, so be sure to come on back regular time Sunday night/ Monday morning when we'll get a chance to check out the rest of the cool stuff from our fellow men in the field. Until then... take it lite men.
  
  Have a great weekend guys!
  
  Sharp Salute!

• POST #2 Got some up for grabs COMPLETE sets of Tank track links , and road wheels . Plus some Osprey / Squadron Signal books -- THE HIGHWAYMAN ( HOH ), 21:08:12 09/07/12 Fri (fl-76-4-119-200.dhcp.embarqhsd.net/76.4.119.200)
  Like it says on the header I've got two complete sets track links , and road wheels up for grabs . These are NOT THE SUPER MODERN ones from the now , but are the vacuum formed ones hat were made by PLASTICALLY ANYTHING in the late nineties , and up to 2001 . Or thereabouts .
  
  They are like the ones that I used on my " garage-built " MK IV , STUG , and PANTHER tanks . I'm asking $175.00 , per set , and shipping is included .
  
  The books up for grabs are : WAFFEN SS SOLDIER 1940 to 1944 . 21ST PANZER DIVISION ROMMELS AFRIKA KORPS SPEARHEAD , TIGER I , AND TIGER II PROFILE . PANTHER IN ACTION , PZKPFW IV IN ACTION , STURMGESSCHUTZ III IN ACTION , , and PANZER COLORS volumes I , and II , which are 1st editions , and came out in 1976 .
  
  The books are all in excellent shape except for the PANZER COLORS books which have some damage to their covers , but are otherwise in excellent shape . I'm asking $100.00 for the whole bunch of them , and I'll throw in the shipping . I'm not interested in splitting them up , sorry .
  
  Don't know if anybody can use this stuff or not , but I thought that I'd give ya'll first crack at it before it heads on over to E-BAY .

• Its been a long time... -- Pvt.Ryan HOH (Pryvet Comrades), 18:32:59 08/24/12 Fri (75-167-1-92.phnx.qwest.net/75.167.1.92)
  Over the years Ive always kept an eye on this place, even though its been forever since I have posted. I purchased part of my collection back from an old friend who helped me out when i got rid of it all a year ago. I wish i had the things i used to... I gave an old figure away to a coworker the other day for his kid, and Ive been slowly taking interest into the hobby and finishing the last few little projects i want/would like to have around. Its good to see this place is still around... First of the first, last of the last... Im excited to see some familiar names, like graeylin, GreenLeader, and even 007 who posted the other day, a name that stood out from years ago, even though he hasnt posted in years and now has kids. Funny the world changes. Thats what made me post
  
  I have almost no collection, but i am curious about a few 21st items to help with some builds i have, so please check my reply below (thats how we used to do it here if i remember)
