Looking for a guide for sculpting revolver in holster in 28mm
« on: 06 November 2016, 01:33:57 PM »
As the title says, just bought the darkest Africa traders pack and considering converting a few as they are drastically under-armed for Darkest Africa, any guides at all would help (I think this is within the realm of my talents).

I would use early Tamiya 1/35 holsters, 8th Army especially.



Tamiya 1/35 8 x British 8th Army # 35032



They are woefully underscale, entirely too small even for .380 revolvers, so quite useful in 28mm &, being plastic, clearly carveable...  


 
Tamiya's German offerings of that era are worthless, useless, shapeless lumps, following no known prototype.  Their American gear might just do..

Any tank modeler or dioramist oughta, have plenty in their bits box.

EARLY Tamiya mind you, their recent stuff scales properly.

What about Perry or Warlord plastic figures? You can get the sprues on WG site or on Ebay for Perry.

Perry might have some, the warlord/WW2s tyle holsters are far too late for the time period, i'm thinking more leather-flap holster.
