Any chance of some British armed civilians and armed British police for this period, most of the Pendraken WW1 and WW2 ranges already cover this conflict ;D
I'll pop them down, could be something that we could fit in somewhere.
That would be exceptionally excellent.
We're doing it in 28mm at the moment

thanks Leon :D
@ Luddite
I am doing it in 10/12mm as the Pendraken WW1 and WW2 ranges have most of the vehicles for it, probably going to use BKC II as the rules. I have done some stats for the vehicles etc, email me at oldsmokie65ATgooglemailDOTcom if you want a copy.
The only other vehicle I can think of that is not in the Pendraken range at the moment would be an armored truck of some sort armed with a Lewis or Vickers MG, failing that I could always convert one.
Nice on OS, thanks for the offer, but we're sticking with 28's at the moment.
Do you have any pictures you could post in the photos section?
Love to see AVBCW in 10mm! :D

Did you see the armoured truck in the last batch of master photo's? (http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=234.0 (http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=234.0)) The roof comes off as well if you wanted to put some guys inside it. There'll be another couple of SCW armoured trucks coming at the end of this month hopefully.
never saw that one :D the removable roof makes it ideal for installing other weapons
look forward to seeing the other trucks, then all we need is some armed civilians and police and all is complete.
Armed miners would be excellent... :D
This is something I have an interest in. I have some 28mm stuff but just aint got time to paint. I also have the source books, Il have a word with dave, if hes willing to foot the bill I can certainly see me having a go. It would also tie in nicely with some " England stands alone " figures ive been contemplating.
Very interested in VBCW figures, Myself and 3 others are painting up to do thia in 10mm at the moment.
All those 'civil' figures are missing, Police and more armed civilian types always needed.
Now a chance to use all those n-guage railway bits that always looked 'too' British in there proper context 8)
This could be merged with the Sealion/Home guard request? as everything that can and does appear in these games can also appear in a sealion game.
Yes please,armed civilians both male,females and police would be great :D

I would be into this, I was thinking about AVBCW as something to do after the ECW
I've ended up using ww1 Germans with picklehelms as British aux bobbies, well with a paint job they'll do. gives the left something to shoot at ;D
But def' more civvie types, also good for Russian civil war, SCW, VBCW, gangsters, pulp dino hunters etc ;)
I like the idea of the Germans in pickelhaubes as Aux Bobbies 8). These have now been added to me future purchases list :).
Votes added!
Add my vote for all things AVBCW like
Keep your eyes peeled in the coming days then.... ;) 8)
:d just mean that Leon ;)

So the whisperings are true :D ;)
Hi, I'm just starting to work on VBCW in 10mm.
Civilians would be marvellous.
Most of the vehicles are already available but one wish, pretty please, would be a Vickers MkII medium tank.
It's thursday ;)

While I'm feeling dirty for suggesting another manufacturers work here, railway 2mm scale is about 1/150-ish
http://www.gramodels.co.uk/2mm_kits.php
103 and 104
Unfortunately resin, but...
Not got any yet so can't comment on them.
I won't get round to the regulars and territorials/yeomanry until much later in the year.
Gramodels stuff is nice (I have a couple of Scammells) but very slow and pretty unreliable.
If you can get them from a show then go for it - but I'm not so sure about mail order.

Bit odd that they don't go to any of the regular UK wargames shows, but travel all the way to the Crisis show in Antwerp!
Hmmm
I think he might do model railway shows mainly
Yes I noticed that too. and after those lovely sculpts i did for him... :!!
Leon Im refusing to sculpt BUF n till u put up piccies .. :-SS
Apologies, been a bit ill past couple of days, so haven't had chance to get them up. I've got the pics on the camera next to me, so if I can stop coughing up my spleen, I'll get them uploaded today.
Always over-rated, the spleen :)
Get well.
Here you go folks: http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=2191.0 (http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=2191.0)
I'll add my vote for armed civilians and militias. Also for the Vickers medium.
Cheers,
Kev
I saw the new masters and I liked what I saw :D. If I could put in my oar and further request additional items, my thoughts are:-
Generic 30s bus
Generic 30s Lorry (with and without tilt)
Generic 30s saloon car
Motorcycles and combinations with civilian riders
Civilian crews for Vickers, Lewis, Bren, Degtyaryov, Lanchesters/MP28, Boys AT rifle, etc.
Home Guard in side caps.
Edit
Almost forgot =)
BEF on bicycles
French on bicycles
Civilians on bicycles
Cheers
GrumpyOldMan
One of these would be great

I've picked up some nice N gauge 1930's cars and vans from this company.

Graham
Aircraft would be nice to see.
Especialy British types that also saw action in the Spanish Civil War and the Finnish Winter War (and possiobly Chaco war) and the "side shows" fo early WW2.
All of which could server in a sealion game as they were relagated to training roles in 1940. Example
the Hawker Hart/Audax/deamon/Hind/etc series of light bombers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawker_Hart
Some nice colour plates here http://wp.scn.ru/en/ww15/o/517/9
Along with eitehr a Hawker Hart or Gloster Gladiator/ Gauntlette.
A "generic-ish" fighter and fighter bomber, each with the option of either a radial or inline engine option would be useful.
At the moment there are either reletively expensive display models (£10+ unbuilt kits) or the Reversico/Tin Soldiwer range from the US (who seem not to have a UK distributor).
I've added all these suggestions to the lists.

Generic 30s bus
Generic 30s Lorry (with and without tilt)
We've got a London bus, and a 1930's truck. Along with the various WW1 trucks, we're pretty well covered for these.
I'm starting to read the "Jerusalem" rules for AVBCW and in the communications section great emphasis is placed on telephones.
Can you add a telephone box to the wishlist?
Also telegraph poles?
Also post box, obviously too slow for tactical battlefield communication, but it would look nice!!
Any other 20s/30s street furniture?
Or is this kind of thing available from model railway sites?
Lee
Police boxes - also for Sci-Fi, which would give another pack or two of a certain medical charater.
IanS
"Jerusalem" also mentions the need for a "medic" so a medical character (with an assistant?). Do medics normally wear long flowing scarves?
Lee
There is plenty of street furnature out there.
Look for N guage railway stuff, it's got loads of options. I've even found a full cricket team and a hunt with hounds :D 8)
I think it's kestrel that do the telegaph poles, about £3 for 10 or so. I've got them and they do add a little to the feel of 30s Britain. Infact they have been a battlefield objective before, cut the comms.
Thanks for the tip, I've found 1936 style phone boxes and a police phone box!.
Lee
and a police phone box!.

But is it bigger inside than out ?
IanS
Only a mk 40

Have you got a link for those? It's not something we'll be producing anytime soon, so it'd be good to know where to get them.
The police box is part of the Hornby "Lyddle End" range of N gauge
http://www.hornby.com/lyddle-end-150/n8696/product.html (http://www.hornby.com/lyddle-end-150/n8696/product.html)
Although I am currently unable to determine whether it is bigger on the inside than the outside!!
P&D Marsh have post boxes, bus stops and belisha beacons, buses, milk churns
http://stores.ebay.co.uk/PD-Marsh-Model-Railways (http://stores.ebay.co.uk/PD-Marsh-Model-Railways)
Langley Models have Phone boxes, seagulls, post boxes etc

Lee
Excellent stuff, these are the things that can liven up any battlefield!
I've also come across RAC telephone boxes and patrols and AA telephone boxes and patrols....
Assuming the RAC would declare for the king, would the AA remain neutral or side with the republic????
Lee
oooh look something for one side or the other to blow up :D :D :D
http://www.hornby.com/lyddle-end-150/n8747/product.html
and somewhere for the plot to be hatched to blow up the sub station
http://www.hornby.com/lyddle-end-150/n8066/product.html ;D ;D ;D
Hows about 2 for the price of 1?
The most common inter war armoured fighting vehicle and a big export earner.
The Russian T 27 tankette
(http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2313/1878117816_ca0e896eed_o.jpg)
Without the roof, its' a Carden Lloyd MG carrier
http://www.milweb.net/webverts/49853/
http://uk.ask.com/wiki/Carden_Loyd_tankette
If it is possible, do it with the removable roof like the Spanish civil war republican truck SCV3 you'll have every option covered.
Also with the T-26 out, you are just a turret away from a Vickers 6 tonner
http://www5b.biglobe.ne.jp/~TANK-GUY/Gallery07/AO-vickers6t.html
In 1938 alone, 30 would be delivered.
Vickers 6tonner = Polish 7TP, and others....very useful vehicle.
