I do like your modified figures/vehicles and conversations. Would be nice to see a Video on how you do them and the ideas behind them Thank You
THAT, would be a "How To Do" video. That's a whole different formula, process and show. I'll think about how I could do that?
@@ThePlasticGeneral Bring on Major Modified and Colonel Conversations
Best show on planet 🌎.
Thanks Tommie, more goodies to come!
My brother use to work at 21C. He started with The Ultimate Soldier 1/6 th scale and went on through the 1/32 scale sets. I use to go to the shop and do a little carpentry for them and they would give me products instead of money. I have a lot of this stuff.

OH MY ..... I thought this was a LOST episode of COMBAT! .....all seriousness, great show and reviews ..... I too have some FOV tanks that I enjoy posing Matchbox, Airfix and other brand WWII figures with ..... keep up the work 👍❤🇺🇸
Thanks man! NEW Episode coming out on MONDAY!!!!
Amazing show, always the battle goes to another level.
Thanks for this, keep up the good work!!!
Thanks Minis, I have no choice, I'M OBSESSED!!!!
That was an intense battle!
PG or RESTRICTED?
Excellent just excellent
Thank you Sir.
I love your films!
You Must Become ONE with the Films!!!
Very good general👌⭐
Thanks U!!
my collection is all 1/72 but I really enjoy your videos. The cigarette is an excellent addition - it's never too late to start smoking :)
Makes me look MEAN!
Is a fact the Tiger kill a bunch of Shermans tanks who burn instantly when they are hit. Fortunately, they have a firefly Sherman ( but not Fury hahahaha). Great work !!!!
BURN!!!!!!
Great looking soldier figures, always like to see one holding a panzerfaust or two! 👊
If you like THAT, you're going to flip when you see the next set what MARS is working on!
@@ThePlasticGeneral They've got some cool sets in 1/72 - German Night Hunters!
@@BoysOfCinnamonCat I was the one who turned him on to the subject.
BTW there is 1/32 airfix Ghurkas on eBay for 7 bucks that you can buy in bulk.I got mine and it’s not a scam,although they are the recasts. But hey, they’re still great and in good condition figures😁
Ha! I already have them!!
Oh
Cool
The execution of the tanks brewing up is getting better every time...love it! That was an excellent tank battle. The EZ 8 sports a 76mm, the others had 75s. I know you just checking to see if we're paying attention
Actually YES! Did I say that? When the lights are in your face and you're on camera, it's easy to make mistakes.
HEY, I DID SAY 76mm GUN!!!
@@ThePlasticGeneral yeah you sure did....lol. I hate myself for pointing that out because I'm not one of those guys actually. I just like ribbing you about it, really excellent video, the blending of live action and minitiatures is getting better too, particularly the forced perspective stuff. It's kinda old time special effects and it's really fun
@@ThePlasticGeneral Totally get it
...the unscripted stuff is pure gold man
@@jasonyoung5172 Jason, I love it when people point out my blunders! This is a community show, not about MY EGO! Have Fun, Make Fun, the show IS FUN! I'm glad you give a shit!! LONG LIVE 1:32 WWII!!!!
Great video again , i like you're passion for the hobby . Greetings from BELGIUM .
Welcome back!⚡️
KOTTER?!
FACT; The Sherman gets bashed a lot in comparison to the German monsters, but that comparison isn't fair. Firstly because the Sherman was designed right from the start to be water-transportable, ahead of the D-Day landings. So it couldn't be too large or heavy; they had to be able to pack them like sardines into the holds of ships. And secondly the Sherman was designed mainly for an infantry-support role, NOT as an anti-tank weapon. The job of killing German armor was left to the Tank -Destroyer Battalions according to official U.S. Army policy. These would be vehicles like the M-10 or Hellcat, which mounted big guns. Nevertheless I think the Sherman was a pretty good tank with a lot of firepower; 3 heavy machine -guns in addition to the cannon/howitzer. And don't forget the burp guns mounted inside the tank for each of the crew!
The Plastic general Agrees!!
More plastic general !
AGREED!!! I'm out of town right now, but when I get back, EPISODE #3O !!!!! NAZI WONDER WEAPONS!!!!!
Super génial 🤩 les soldats sont très beaux et bien peint j'adore les chars et la présentation avant la bataille et top , mise en scène super on s'y croirait,et votre participation à chaque fois et excellente bon travail d'acteur ,moi j'ai aussi des armées de plastique de toute marque au 1/72 mais vous me surpassé Vu la quantité de modèle que vous possédez j'attends avec impatience les prochains épisodes
I have a couple of 21st Century toys 1 32 Panther Ausf Gs in the collection. Been dying to get a Tiger 1 or 2 and at least some Shermans 😫 lucky I've found one in the UK for sale cause 21st are quite hard to find over here 😔
Loving your battle scenes 😁
Thinks Fish, anyone can do it!
AAF museum has 1/21st cent. Sherman’s only there Bulldozer ones but you can take the Blade OFFn there cheap
@@paulcaruso1103 Thanks, I have enough Sherman's! Besides, FOW will be coming out with tones of new ones!
waiting for you next video!!!! ;-)
Give it 10 days!
Nice video
Thanks, better late than never!
BIG!
Epic!
Love those figures! They play well with Conte.
Was the Sherman M4A1 (molded hull) a Monogram kit?
I didn't know about a Tamiya 1/32 M10. Will keep my out for that.
Cool episode!
No, TAMIYA Motorized.
Best tank of the Second World War was the Soviet T-34.Partly cause there were so many of them.
I'd rather be in a Panther G. See you on an open field!
@@ThePlasticGeneral haha you are on cause there would be 20 T-34s to one Panther!Time to learn Russian my friend!
@@carausiuscaesar5672 Tanks are not designed for tank duels, tanks have other tasks. The main losses of tanks from anti-tank guns.
Please make a Iwo Jima if you can. There is some sets out there that would work great 👍
All good things will come in time.
@@ThePlasticGeneral Great! Hope to see it soon!
@@beasalinas3088 Expect to see a Japanese Paratrooper raid first.
OH YEAH!!!
The PG is back!
Why no decals on your easy eight?
You're right. I built that years ago, painted it and just forgot to put the decals on. Yes I should.
can u do like a operation market garden vid
[btw I have not watched a bridge to far YET]
I'll get to it eventually.
fun fact I believe that the ez8 was just a upgrade late war m4 Sherman
Yes it was.
Are you going to put out video painting this small Soldiers.
Or Diorana building
Look at the Plastic General Workshop section.
Love the battle scenes! lolol! You are so good.
Thanks Lydia! Starting with episode #20 is when I came up with the idea of inserting myself into the battle scenes. Episode #3O will be even more ambitious! Will be doing just the battle scenes soon. You will see!
Девушка любит батальные сцены? Удивительно...
@@AlexAlexeev291 How do I Translate.
@@ThePlasticGeneral I was surprised that the girl liked the toy battle scenes. Usually boys play toy soldiers.
@@AlexAlexeev291 Lots of Chicks watch The Plastic General!!! I make Women believe that Toy Soldiers are SEXY!!!
Finally
FOREVER!!
What make is that bridge type thing with jail bar windows ?
FISHER PRICE!!!
Looking forward to the next one! Any plans ever to feature some starlux or reisler?
Ya know what, I own everything in WWII but never those two brands.
@@ThePlasticGeneral even the general has his limitations. I wasn't sure how common starlux is in Canada, its pretty rare here. I sent you some images in fb
@@jasonyoung5172 Oh I know about them, but for many reasons they're not worth chasing. Sculpting, scale, rareness and cost are all a factor.
Yep, I hear you...but for reasons just beyond my comprehension I kinda like them....they're kinda retro and fun
I just got a really nice 1/32 scale Sherman by 21st Century toys. Are there any aftermarket tank tracks in 1/32 scale anywhere? I can find plenty of 1/35th scale and the metal 1/32 sets cost more than what I paid for the tank.
Ya, you have a little problem there. BUT, look on Ebay for 1:32 Sherman tracks, there might be an answer?!
@@ThePlasticGeneral Forces of Valor is going to release metal treads for the Sherman. They have them for the Tiger and they are less expensive than the well known brands.
@@jamesmaddox8261 That's great news!
Nice rendition of Fury 😁 Question about the Tamiya 1/35 scale motorized models they make. Are all of those Tamiya motorized 1/35 kits 1/32 in scale, including the newer motorized models of the ? Or are the 1/32 sizes apply only to their older 1/35 motorized kits that were made in the 1970/80s?
As far as I know for sure, the M-10, the Easy 8 and the Jackson.
@@ThePlasticGeneral I did some searches and interestingly found there is a Tamiya Russian SU-100 TD, Tamiya Russian T-34/76 1942 and Tamiya French B1 BIS Tank that also came out with a motorized kit. Also, the Tamiya German Pz II F/G tank kit was a motorized kit.
@@rwcowell Well Ricky Dicky, I encourage you to buy all of those kits in question and see if they truly oversized in 1:32? Send the results to me so I can announce your findings and take the credit!!
@@ThePlasticGeneral Sure, after you send me that Plastic General money your making to fund it, I'll let you get some credit. FYI Only my Girlfriends call me Ricky Dicky 😁
@@rwcowell Seriously, if you can afford it, take a chance! I really wanna know the results!
Did you join the us army before you join UTube
I Fought in WWII!!!!!
