15mm weapons needed for VSF
« on: 23 July 2020, 09:16:41 PM »
Gents,
I'm looking for a source of 15mm weapons to arm my Martian flyers and British ships for VSF. Any suggestions, preferrably in the USA as overseas postage has gotten crazy.
Thanks,
VSF Gamer

Could you be a little more specific?  What type of weapons are you looking for?

I'm looking for deck guns, gatling guns for the aphid airships, something to use for Martian cannons, things like that.

Ooo I could also use some of that!

Perhaps the question should have been posted in the Colonial board.

I once made some alien 15mm  weapons by stringing very small beads & sequins
onto small pins.  These were then 'set' by dribbling super-glue over them.
In 28mm I have made 'cannons' using the working parts from hand-spray bottles.
The 'tags' from bread bags make good gun-shields. When you start looking lots of
things are of use, such as those annoying plastic ties that hold price tags onto
what-ever is being sold. Snip off the 'bulbous' bit & voila a lazer  rifle.

Have you looked at Shapeways?
This shop has 15mm Gatling Guns and Hotchkiss rotary cannon:

This shop has a LOT of naval parts in a lot of scales. I'd look at 1/100 and 1/96. Most of it is WWII, but I think a lot of the deck guns would work well:

If you don't mind making your own mounting posts, you can also go to Old Glory 25, in the Blue Moon 15/18mm section. The Sudan colonial campaign has a Nordfelt mg, and there are other guns in all of the Colonial lines as well as the Boxer Rebellion section:

I hope that helps,
Sevya
