1/6th Scale Stuff
Welcome to this rarely updated yet thriving collection of items created in 1/6th scale from materials and techniques which duplicate endeavor to duplicate the original items.  Please note that many of these items were also produced before the glut of pseudo accurate manufactured versions.  Please follow the email link should you be interested prototyping offers.  Otherwise, assume that nothing is for sale.
After FIVE LONG YEARS with NO UPDATES I've added the links below, which go off to projects featured ondiscussion boards (mainly the Sixth  Army Group Discussion Forum.  Give me another year and I'll find the rest. (12/07)
This is a stitched US flag I made for the 4th of July 2002.  It is based off of a real one I have.  The stars are cut from iron on material.  God Bless America.
