This is the kind of weird and wacky YT stuff I like. Love it. Bill

[@ThePlasticGeneral]

Thanks Bill, More Wacky to come!!

[@bushwhacked1835]

Oscar quality acting, brilliant forced perspective gun laying, beguiling fishing line and rigid plastic manoevring of troops, blinding muzzle flashes and explosions courtesy of the imaginative use or wire and coloured tissue paper! Forget KZbin stop motion toy soldiering videos - this is where it's at! The gold standard! He's even shaved off his moustache!

[@bushwhacked1835]

... and not forgetting the authentic 1940's soundtrack and battle sound effects!

[@bushwhacked1835]

It's so good I'm even replying to my own posts!

[@ThePlasticGeneral]

It's what million dollar budgets will get you these days!

[@robertwestrick2680]

There is a Dinky set WITH figures on eBay right now!!! A must have addition.

[@ThePlasticGeneral]

All Three crew?! Then buy it!!!

[@jamesnoble2753]

Brilliant presentation again.Awesome Betty bomber too.Airfix u.s. infantry are still great even after all these years.Marvelous Dinky M1A1 . The Outro is terrific as always.

[@ThePlasticGeneral]

Thank you so much my friend, guys like you make this all worth the effort!

[@streetgato9697]

Awesome work! But why are the Japanese army paratroopers painted blue-ish? Their jump smocks are either olive green or khaki, worn over infantry uniforms. (Japanese Navy marine paratroopers wore sea-green jump uniforms) Also the US troops defending the airfield in Leyte are not marines, they're also airborne soldiers- US Army 11th Airborne. Other than those nitpicks, outstanding set up and superb production and sound effect! I love all the aircraft too!

[@ThePlasticGeneral]

The Japanese we're painted kind of Bluish because many color illustrations depicted them that way and I thought they looked cooler! Hey, I Goof Up a lot!! But I'm STILL the GENERAL!!!

[@alistairclarke6726]

I only collect 1/72 but I like your channel, your projects and conversions, and the effort you put in. Subscribed!

[@ThePlasticGeneral]

Thank you Alister, perhaps we can seduce you over to the big scale?! I've always been so envious of the endless selection and variety of 1:72 myself!!

[@attak10]

[@carausiuscaesar5672]

Och aye but the Japanese paratroops took a severe beating from the famed Scottish Kamikaze Regiment commanded by Colonel Monty Python.

I have yet to see portrayed the most feared soldier in any Japanese fighter group:the samurai sword guy?no!the bayonet guy?no!the machine gun guy?no!The flag guy?close but no! I am talking about the megaphone propaganda guy!: Imagine you are in the dark humid jungle teeming with horrible venomous snakes spiders insects around you in a foxhole alone on sentry go when a strange voice cuts thru the murk:”War last hundred years Joe!You never go home again Joe!Surrender now Joe Imperial Japanese Army take good care of you Joe!Lots to eat here Joe and beer Joe nice cold beer!and friendly women here Joe want to meet you right away Joe!Surrender now Joe your last chance!Why you wait?We know where you are Joe!War last hundred years Joe!You never go home again Joe! “ Yeh the Megaphone Guy!

[@ThePlasticGeneral]

Ya that's true. Eventually I'll get around to doing the 12 Marx Japanese and I'll have an excuse to make the matching weapons. I make between 1 - 3 new weapon props for every show . For the Japanese I still need to make a Flag, Sword and a Nabu Pistol.

Man I don’t know how to support your channel . Tell me how to support it or send donations or whatever you guys do . I am pretty sure I’ve caught up on every thing you ve posted . You got the coolest shit I’ve ever seen and someone should hire you to be a designer or sculpture for sure . I watch at least one video every day and I’m a huge fan . I can’t find the guns of Navaron conversion . Have you completed it yet or not ?

[@ThePlasticGeneral]

Thank you Sir! YES!! I need the support to keep my little channel going! I have this: paypal.me/plasticgeneral or patreon.com/theplasticgeneral either would be great and I'll finish my latest episode! Thank you!!

[@richardthurman2260]

I’ll have to have my girlfriend show me how to do this crap . I’m not very computer savvy and this is not even my real name on here . My buddy lost his phone and was using mine for a few days and put his name on sone account and now I don’t know how to remove it but my name is Danny and I live in Cape Coral flordia and was living on fort Myers beach and lost my house to the hurricane so it’s been a nightmare but I truly enjoy everything you put together and it takes me away from the worries of life for a while each day so you have no idea how much that means in times like this . We are very fortunate to have been able to find a place to move to cause there are a lot of people still who haven’t and are struggling a hell of a lot worse then us my friend. I lost everything and so did my girlfriend but I managed to get about 15 or so models together and I’m working on a trumpeter anti craft gun as we speak . I’ve had a passion for toy soldiers since I was a child and I’m 55 years old and love em all . Starlux and historex and Elastalion were out of my price range as a child but I remember staring at them and dreaming of owning my own toy solder company lol . Kind and country …… I love any of them as long as they are all the same scale in battle . 32 nd scale plastic has always been my favorite though
