Any chance of some WWWII sculpts?

The sort of thing seen in Secrets of the Third Reich or DUST Tactics.

Do the world war one Germans come with a gas mask sculpt?

Not to put a downer on this, as everythings good. But whats wrong with the 28mm ones?

Also if your just looking at doing it on a smaller table I think you probably could get something from the current ranges.  The Mecha will be your hardest thing to find. Is there a 10mm Mech supplyer?

Take care

you hit the nail on the head my 28mm stuff is too big. I have loads of 28mm stuff but with some ranges being in excess of 60 inches  then i needed smaller scales hence my dino hunting in 10mm as well as my plans for wierd wars. i have whole box of mechs from Wizard of the coast so i should be able to find suiable things in there. basically i am selling off my wierd wars stuff.

1.  Space.
2.  Overpriced 28mm figures.
3.  I want to do brigade-divisional engagements that 28mm is no good for representing.
4.  I want to do it in 10mm.

I'll definatley be able to cobble something together from the current ranges and what i can't i can scratchbuild or source elsewhere but i'd really rather get what i need from Pendraken.

For mechs, I should be getting the Battletech Introductory set this week, that has 26 mechs in it i think.  And i also think there 1/600 and 10mm is 1/144. So the battletech mechs could replace something just say there not as big.

Could be an interesting project i hope you keep us informed.

Take care.

I think, at the moment these (done in 15mm) are as close you can get:

Three sets of legs, bodies converted from existing tank or A/C chassis, bit of artistic license thrown in for good measure ...........

I was thinking along those lines myself, making a few component parts which can be put together to create loads of options.

That's handy ;) Remind me to come back to you on this one if I manage to get my head back into gear and finish my current project!

The major problem is tracks, you would have to do a lot of filling. Hetzer might work, or a 4wheel A/C
