Post by: Over Open Sights on 09 February 2018, 06:44:07 PM

Looking for figures to drive lorries and stripped down model T Fords. Where can I find suitable 28mm figures?

What do you need?

As I'm plodding through the back log for Partizan.including crew packs (research done by vodkafan.). In the mean time I know I've some loose figures knocking about.

Simon and Mick won't do separate crews (other than the bus passengers) As they're all one separate parts moulds relating to each vehicle.

Mark.

Warbases do some. Not spectacular figures but 'do the job'

A number of years ago I bought the driver of this vehicle from Grand Manner:

If you check with them they probably still have the miniature

Another option are these from Empress:

Hey. I have some drivers. In figures replaceable heads. Perhaps you can find something suitable for yourself?

Thanks everyone! The Empress drivers will do the job nicely. I didn't know about them. I do now!
I need drivers for three scratchbuilt trucks, a "Daimler" flatbed with a 13pdr AA gun two FWD Model B trucks. I also need a Break-man for a Mark 1 Light Ambulance that is currently on the table. The stripped down Model Ts for a Light Car Patrol will be sometime in the future.
Thanks again.

Mark

Some interesting builds there.
I wish id know before York I'd arrange some drivers.I can have a look through the 'bit box'(I'd be more accurate to say chest of drawers)
If your in no rush the Ford patrol cars will be ready for Partizan.
I've already done couple of Thorneycroft 'AA' truck so there some axle jacks arms cast again think there's some in the WW1 draw.
Plus a Damiler bus driver,and passengers,and the two man crew for a Thorneycroft lorry.
I'll need a couple of days to be able to get to them,As there's a commission drying in front of the drawers .
Other than that your welcome to them.

Mark.

Excellent work  :-* :-* :-*

"I didn't know about them"  :o

Have a word with Woodbine I am sure the would consider casting up some of the sitting down gun crew which make good drivers.

Likewise Great War Miniatures gun crews.

Looking forward to seeing them manned
