I saw this and had to put it in my collection.

This guy seems to have some quality minitures.

I like its all metal and has movable parts. Even the
links and ammo can be loaded like real.

That looks great. If my calc is right, it's about 6" or 7" long which is a nice size mini. The belt even has a starter tab...cool!

I looked to see if they had a water-cooled and didn't see one...drat!

 

[ktrip]

Yeah, they do:

Uh Oh......I perdict Lobo's diggin' in the ol' weasel sack again.... He's just GOT to have one of those WC versions!

 

[loboslanding]

I'm lookin'.

 

[knall]

Is it full auto ? or semi only? even if its only semi auto for that price ya could tear her apart and at least try to go full auto. Even if you ruin it, your only out like $30



YES I AM KIDDING

There are some pretty detailed 1/6 models out there. I'm as impressed with the steel ammo can that comes with the 1919A4. Great detail. I think the Russian Maxim is as detailed as any, though not metal like the 1919.

Toys - some of us just never outgrow them.

Ya know, it's really amazing how one post can light up a bidding frenzy.

These little A4's have been offered by DID and on "E-PAY" for a long time.
Usually they run about $25-35 bucks. I noticed after this post, this auction got a whole lot of attention.. lol??

With shipping....$65.00 bucks!??! Good grief!

Other sellers there have Buy Now prices for $35.00... Winner definitely has more $$ than brains... lol

 

[Nosegunner]

This 1919A4 is part of the George "Chesty" Puller collection from DID. The complete package is around $55 and contains a 1/6th figure and a ton of accessories. See it here:

Seems like just the 1919A4 should be selling for under $20.

Ive been to the Gap reenactment for several years,,,that stuff always there and at a good price,,,,Just shows that ebay is a joke,,,if you look alsewere you can find same stuff cheaper(99% of the time). I whish I had the G I Joe stuff I had in the 70's!! Its worth alot now(to somebody). Also had a M1 Carbine BB gun you cocked by pulling the barrel in.

you talking about the DAISY model ? we had one friend with one of those used to kill us in BB gun wars (cardboard armor goggles ) he would just hold the trigger down and pump that barrel in and out as fast as he could pummeling us unmercyfully and us armed with the old lever daisys can you say Ouch,ouch,ouch

 

[tommygunner06]

Thats the one,,man its was fun,,we could lay down some fire power back then!!

 

[belt fed frog]

AHHHHHHH the joys of childhood i am suprised we are still alive

 

[tommygunner06]

Id love to find one for sale now....think it cost me 15 bucks back in the 70's. And I didnt shoot my eye out!

 

[raysosc]

I got it.

Looks good. Just like the pics.

Came packed in a baggie with lots of padding around it.

Still had some nicks in the finish. Mostly 1 leg of the
tripod.

A touch with a permanent marker fixed it.

Just can't beleive how well detailed it is, considering the
size. None of the plastic ones Ive ever had or seen were
as good made or correctly detailed.

Fitting those tiny little rounds into those extremely tiny
links is very close to my visual limit, and caused some eye
strain though.

 

[raysosc]

Found something new in minitures today on ebay.

M2 Browning with pod, ammo can and fabric belted ammo,
and a separate sale of .50 ammo with links.

Looks to be as good as the 1919 I bought a month ago.

Mini 1919A4

You didn't by chance get a phone number from them did you? I need about 8 items from them and I don't use PayPal. Costing me a lot of money Ray, thanks. Jim

 

[loboslanding]

Alright, I give in, I give in...couldn't stand it anymore.

Bought the 1917...I can paint the water jacket blue, file off the sides of the bottom plate and call it a '28 .

Thank goodness they don't have an M2 or any more 1919s right now.

Nose, where did you see that Maxim for sale?

 

[brassmagnet]

Yup - you held off pretty long but my prediction of 7/05 came true

 

[loboslanding]

I knew you'd jump on that brass...you got me figured out .

I need something at work on my desk to play with.
