Accesory packs thru the ages (1 Viewer)

[nmrocks]

Hey guys,
We,ve all seen the great masters work from K&C lately and East of India on the forum and I noticed the "pre-fab" accesories on many such as rifles, hats and helmets, swords etc.
Wouldn't it be nice if they put out weapons and equipment packs for the various periods we all collect?
You could not only customize figures and vehicles, but dioramas need lots of the debris of war, helmets and weapons.
The accesories that are out now, large groups of supplies, chairs and tables are helpful but to me don't really address the avenue of accesorization?
What do you think?

Outstanding idea.I have found it hard to get my hands on extras for my displays.FOV do some but to small and not enough.

Very good idea.Accessories are always welcome big or small,would be a godsend for dio makers.

That is a great idea - for those of us who work to put dioramas together with our collections, that would be a great addition to them. I think Ray is right on how popular that would be too. Many of us buy the accessory packages from King and Country and this would be a big hit - IMO.

Thanks guys,
There are few options now, but i do know of one very nice option available to you now though it can be a bit hard to find.
the German company Preiser puts out a very nice plastic Germans weapons pack 1935-1945.
Now it's advertised as 1/24 but it works flawlessly with K&C scale figs.
Included in the set is as follows:
MG42
MG34
mp40
2-Panzerfaust, one in locked, one in firing position
Panzerschek
KAR98k
STG44
german anti-tank rifle 39
FG42 para assault gun
3-patato masher stick grenades
and a full line of german holsters, kit bags, shovels, cantenes, ammo belts, knives and bayonets, mess kits etc.
basically everything you need to accesorize your german troops.
Can be hard to find, did a quick search on ebay and nada.
You might try the German ebay and key word "Preiser" and further knock it down to 1/24 or "G" scale.
Hope it's helpful,
Ray
