This 32 page booklet arrived today-
Full of interesting photos and information. It has whetted my appetite for more certainly. It came from
What's the collective noun for a host of butterflies? Perhaps a storm of butterflies. Bavarian imaginations last post, WWII or VBCW this post, you're surely going to keep very busy. Stephen
Fascinating book, full of scratchbuilding and conversion potential. VBCW, Home Guard. Some of them remind me of the Spanish Civil War improvised armour - if you daubed big initials slogans and flags down the side! Did the book mention the Home Guards most improvised wheels or vehicles - roller skates? https://1stcorps.co.uk/product/home-guard-vickers-k-and-lewis-gun-teams/ https://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/205093910
The 1st Cops are soooo tempting! Been wondering what vehicles to use with my 54mm Home guard chaps, any thoughts? Civilian ones to convert… Alan Tradgardland
1:32 vehicles are not cheap - my best advice is to trawl eBay for unboxed bashed up pre 1939 looking 1:32 vintage looking cars and delivery vans - including the old Airfix 1:32 kit cars range. You are going to armourplate and camouflage them anyway, so condition is not important.
Very interesting. I've seen some photos of regular cars with added Armour and a Boys rifle. These must have been some of the first 'Technicals'. - That could be a nice carload for my British 16mm military railway if I could only find a suitable vehicle in about 1:18th scale.
That seems a very reasonable price for a useful little book Alan.
