Post subject:  Brickwarriors question
I have seen some really interesting pieces on brickwarriors.com and was wondering if anything on the site would really work with 1-1/18th scale stuff.

I would love to get a few Ushankas (the thick Russian fur cap) for my Oktober Guard, but I am feeling like this stuff is just way too small.

It's 50/50. I bought one of their Blade Runner pistols and used it on a 1/18th custom...BUT...said custom was built on a Reaction figure, so there was room to "fudge" on things. It's a teeny tiny bit undersized, but was generally acceptable to me. I have heard of people using other mini fig sized items for 1/18th with mixed results.

eta you will most likely have to grind out any lego hat to get rid of the lego attachment piece.

it is going to vary item to item as some are ove rsized for lego scale. also depends if you are talking arah heads or newer style.

spec has modded some great fantasy weapons from bw.i think drbindy modded a lego bowler hat. i modded a bw hat for my snake eyes. he had so much hair i almost ground a hole in it though.

this one. it is real big because it fits the plague dr mask that fits over a lego head.

i have this wizard hat and it scales ok with newer style heads

this should scale ok if it is an accurate depiction

they have some great prices. i forget but i think i paid more for shipping than the pieces i got. i shopped in the sale items only and pieces were .10-.25 cents each

Yeah, I figured on grinding out the inside part.

Every item you listed I have in my wish list. They have a clearance event going on, so I was looking into it.

I have a bunch of their medieval/fantasy weapons but due to their being for brick figures, they tend to be daggers and short swords instead of regular swords.

I was just hoping to get some Ushankas and Russian Tanker helmets, then grind them out for my ARAH stuff.

I have yet to find anyone making Ushankas. I've seen the Tanker helmets, but would love a good soft version. Most are hard resins.

I found hats are still 50/50. It depends on how small the head you want to put on it is and how deep the helmet is and how tight the sides are. It just isn’t as easy as everything fits or it won’t. But the individual pieces are cheap enough that it is worth testing it out to see if the items work for your project.

order the pieces that you can scale with your eye in quantity and 1 of others you can't. if you are hurrying for the sale i think everything i ordered last year is still on sale :)

what is the other brick place with the racking pistols? i don't have that one saved.

In my wish list I have:

Sombrero
Cowboy Hat
Do Rag
Buffalo Rifle
Repeater Rifle
Time Bomb
Military Helmet
Double Flail
Wizard Hat
Pirate Cutlass
Naginata
Chakram
Parang Pandit
Top Hat
Tricorn
Garrison Cap
Flammenwerfer Tank
Ushanka
Soviet Tanker Helmet
US Flame Tank
Mortar Tube
Soviet Helmet
Artillery Shell
Gas Can
Officer Hat
Commando Cap
Oxygen Tank
Japanese Hat
Aviator Helmet
Us Sniper Rifle
Binoculars
Civil War Kepi
Bard Hat

For the gear, I am not concerned about size, as these wouldn't be ARAH/ME backpacks, but random gear. Also for the edged weaponry, I figure the Dreadnoks have a lot of custom made edged weapons, so feel the size is workable. The rifles wouldn't be the main weapon of a character, but maybe a weapon tucked into a holster on a motorcycle. Some might have the stocks cut off, barrels cut down on others.

The Bard Hat could work as an 'Applejack' cap. Artillery Shell and Gas Can can be used is a lot of different ways. I like the idea of small mortar tubes. With the JOEs using that 'five years in the future tech', I figure they are testing new types of portable artillery.

The time bombs can be glued to Firefly vests or other vests.

I wonder how the various hats would fit on the new sculpt heads. I could outfit a bunch of new sculpt heads I put on all the extra Sgt Misha bodies I picked up.

Not sure about the Brickwarriors stuff but I know that Marauders has the Russian Ushanka and the Russian Tanker Cap in two colors.
