Title: A Golden Age of Wargaming: sourcing a Polish 1939 C4P Artillery Tractor in 15mm
Post by: Vis Bellica on 29 January 2022, 10:30:40 AM
Following on from my previous post about motorising my Polish infantry, I've written another one specifically about sourcing that most elusive of beasts, the C4P artillery tractor.

See here for all:

It shows what a golden age of wargaming we inhabit: only a few years ago this sort of thing would have been absolutely impossible.

Haven't looked at your blog, I am going to guess Paint and Glue Miniatures?

Nope: guess again!

The P&G models look really lovely, and they have a very wide ranging collection of designs, but they are about 1.5-2 times as expensive as Syborg 3D, the range that I used.

P&G also look to have made what I believe is the same mistake as everyone else when it comes to the back end of the C4P artillery tractor. I had mine specially designed by Syborg...see the blog post for what I mean!
