the need for accessories (1 Viewer)

I posted this thread to Britains as they have in the past made accessories for certain lines, but what I hope to see being there is a void in the 1:30th pre-painted metal world of WWII accessories, be that of weapons, helmets, grenades, small arms, I know we have Build a rama to work with in certain areas as well as J.G minatures but the product I mentioned above is what we diorama collectors need, so hoping Ken can add these items to a long list of wants for us WWII collectors and a possible visit to such sets in the future?...Sammy

Sammy, would add that request to the ACW and other lines as well. There were two great accessory releases for the Zulu lines. Would like to see weapons, bread boxes, buckets, etc for ACW. Chris

Agree 100 % Chris, the hobby needs one of the 1:30th manufacturers to hopefully be involved to make such items as we both have suggested even if it were on a limited run, I think there would be plenty of customers to place orders to use for existing dioramas as well as new ones depending on the product that could possibly be used...Sammy

I'm with you on this! We need some "larger scale" pieces like gas cans (US and British/German types), helmets (US plain, German, British) and other odds and ends. Some extra firearms would be nice to have in scenes, such as the K98K, the US M1 carbine, StG44, etc. Ration boxes are fairly easy, take the Hudson and Allen items to Kinkos and have them enlarge them to about 110% (for 1/32 scale) or 116% (for 1/30)and print on buff or tan paper. Assemble per instructions, weather to taste and add to vehicle or scene. We can't just do that with GI helmets and 5 gal gas cans (and don't forget the similar water cans)
