Welcome to the custom figures, vehicles and dioramas of the Sixth Scale Collectors Club Owner: The members of the Sixth Scale Collectors Club, Cincinnati, OH Email: gunshycc@yahoo.com or DSchauerte@aol.com, Club Website: HERE Greetings from Cincinnati! Our club is the Sixth Scale Collectors Club in Cincinnati, Ohio, and for those who don't know, we host a 1/6th scale show twice a year (once in June, then again in November). We're always looking for vendors who might wish to attend, and our rates are the cheapest you will ever find for any show or Con (plug-plug). If you are interested, please contact our club at the email above. Any admission "fees" collected always go directly to the museums we work with, with never a dime to us. The photos on this page are just a few of the many custom figures, vehicles, buildings and dioramas our club members have created over the years for display in schools and at various shows. They are all very impressive scratch built or heavily modified factory-made 1/6th items. As you know, dioramas come and go, and some of the items shown no longer exist exactly as you see them. Examples like the WW2 European home used as an allied headquarters, and the farmer with his "reaper" (both shown below) have either been disassembled or altered. The reaper, by the way is the oldest 1/6th scale model in the Lebanon Museum. It was found just laying around! One of our members added the horse and operator to it just for the August SSHMS show, removing them after the event. Now, only the machine itself remains. (Too bad!) The photo of the amazing "Turtle" (right) shows an amazing 1/6th scale, handmade, custom built model of the first US built submersible used to spy on the British during the Revolutionary War. The man that built this model isn't "officially" in our club, but we've had a good relationship with him over the years. He told us the ship he was on during WW2 was sunk when it was hit with 4 torpedoes fired from a German U-boat! Doctors thought he would die from the complications of being adrift in that oil / fuel / seawater mixture. But fortunately, as you can see, he ended up living a lot longer than they estimated and went on to become a master model ship builder. We hope that you like what you see, and that it will help you realize what collectors can really do in this great hobby of ours. ---Sixth Scale Collectors Club, Cincinnati, OH What's a club without a banner? Looks good, guys! This closeup of the table shows that the guys in suits are actually the RESERVOIR DOGS! Whoa! Look at this 1/6th scale European building diorama. Amazing construction. Nice scale trees, too. Here's the "Reaper" mentioned earlier. Take away the farmer and his horse and its not nearly as cool! Hand-built cart, complete with hidden compartments.
