Title: Need some bits and pieces - who makes......
Post by: Doug ex-em4 on September 30, 2013, 11:14:21 PM

I'm definitely NOT going to go mad on expanding my VBCW stuff - definitely not. But I do need some odd bits for Sir Gilbert Hill's Volunteers. So, any idea where I could find a Vickers HMG with a militia-style crew and also a mortar? I also need some separate tommy guns for some of my Welsh gangsters Nationalists. Anyone make them? I'm looking at  big 25 or small 28mm size.

And although I'm definitely NOT going to do  A Liverpool Free State contingent, it would be nice to know if anyone makes any suitable figures for some mutinous naval types..... ;)

Colonel Bills also does vbcw weapons packs.
For militia hmg crew, see musketeer minis. Take a look at my minis guide in my signature below for ideas for naval types, but off the top of my head try pulp minis and brigade.

Ooh, for sailors, you could also try Phoenix minis and Regiment Games :)

JP's site is a very useful site one - http://vbcwminisguide.blogspot.co.uk/ (http://vbcwminisguide.blogspot.co.uk/)

Not a Vickers, I know, but Ironclad have just released a Lewis team of Miners' Militia - http://www.ironcladminiatures.co.uk/shop/article_vbcw2/VBCW2.html?sessid=QyFQRBxLVLuMBx33ny0GmTbOqValItjcKfH1CFg8PSmnR179rf5rMpQZO7adhyA9&shop_param=cid%3D53%26aid%3Dvbcw2%26 (http://www.ironcladminiatures.co.uk/shop/article_vbcw2/VBCW2.html?sessid=QyFQRBxLVLuMBx33ny0GmTbOqValItjcKfH1CFg8PSmnR179rf5rMpQZO7adhyA9&shop_param=cid%3D53%26aid%3Dvbcw2%26)
