20mm 1938 ECW

[keeper]

So, having bought the book, I want to try a couple of games in this timeline, but my gaming friends are tight, and are only prepared to play in 1/72 (or 20mm) because they're cheaper

Actually, I've found quite a bit of useful stuff out in the market, but what I can't find is a source of separate weapons I can use for conversions.  Can anyone help please?

(Oh, and just because we're going to start with plastic doesn't mean I won't be moving as quickly as possible to 20mm white metal!)

If memory serves me SHQ (now Sgts Mess I think) used to produce lots of separate weapons

Sgts Mess make some nice 20mm figures which would be great for this period - I just got some today!

Thats not a bad scale choice as you will find plenty of Hornby or similar Terrain and some vehicles in Railway shops.
I was thinking about doing Geezers in that scale for that reason.

Thanks chaps They're all great links and Sgts Mess looks like it can provide the squad-support weapons I've been looking for.

I'd I think I'll have to get me some of their boy scouts and rhmodels' Hitler Youth for suitable conversion to AVBCW

I've also found some usful stuff from Preiser and some other railway models - especially since looking at old maps of my city (Sheffield), a couple of key train depots jump out as likely sites for conflect and fertile ground for scenarios!

I've not found a source of separate small-arms and rifles, yet, though?  Or am I just spoiled in my usual 28mm by such things?
