Title: 1930s Genericars (6mm)
Post by: Fitz on July 16, 2017, 05:59:20 AM

I designed a sprue of generic 1930s British cars in 6mm (1:300 – 1:285) scale. They're not meant to represent any specific make or model, but rather to have the look of common civilian vehicles of the period.

They're available in FUD/FXD resin on Shapeways at http://shpws.me/OLD1 (http://shpws.me/OLD1)

These ones are basically the same car, but a convertible version, and with the spare wheel moved around on to the back.

They've available at http://shpws.me/OLDo (http://shpws.me/OLDo)

Very nice looking. I imagine they will become a must buy for anyone gaming in that period and scale.

They look great and should be well received by the 6mm mob.

Neat! I'd like to see some 1930s and 40s race cars too  :)

Really great!

Another one with many wargame applications would be a simple truck.

Here's another conversion of my basic car model. This time it's a sprue of small delivery trucks.

They'd have been painted with the store name and logo on the sides, which will be something of a challenge in this scale.
