Yeah I picked up some Hornby planning track R619 which is kind of scaled right. Resorted to making my own cars but they don't look that good. And the other companies that offer cars really aren't that impressive.

Yeah I tried to build my own cars and then cast them in resin. I am in the midst of a rebuild because cars did not turn out the way I want them. I wanted to cast a ton of cars and even some bombed out ones.

So here is my attempt at homemade train cars which I am going to do over. The gist was to create one chassis mold and then several attachment molds - gondola, box car, flat car with supplies etc- to attach to the chassis car (trying to keep it a one part mold).

When I finally get some time I am redoing this project. I hope to channel my inner Nazgul and make so etching better looking and to scale. These were just rough prototypes.

Hi,

I am perfectly happy since GHQ gave us three different CV90 versions (the CV9030 being my favourite).
At last the only wish (more a dream) I have, would be the CV90 Armadillo in its original appearance with the APS fitted.

Cheers,
Benjamin

These could work for Cold War Warsaw Pact as well as Arabs.
I like these options a lot - it's hard to believe they haven't been done yet!!

+2 on this, it is hard to believe and would buy several

+3 for the Russians. We could also use some more versions of modern trucks for the Russians too, especially a fuel bowser.

The Brits really need updated infantry - Javelin & Starstreak teams and more Minimis and when are we going to get Rapier or Stormer Starstreak? No AA for the Brits at all!

MAN Recovery truck would be good as well as Titan/Trojan.

For WW2 :

- Humber Snipe or Box
- Austin K2 Ambulance
- 15cwt Signals

Oh, and engineers!

This is a strange request but it doesn't involve new figure design.

How about a temporary web special for 1980's vis-mods?

A pack of 5 M551 Sheridan hulls and T72 or T80 Turrets. (Just make sure the Turret pin matches.)

Since the BMP Vis-Mod was a M551 with a plastic "Sagger" strapped to the barrel. There is a company that makes a cheap ground mount Sagger to make this kit bash.

Even at regular prices this would save money over ordering loose parts.

After few months they can be pulled after a few months.
