[COMMERCIAL] Empress Miniatures Cold War Range. T64 RELEASED.

[Paul @ Empress Miniatures]

Start the week with some new releases.

Due to popular demand we have released the Wombat , crew and vehicle crew as separate packs. These are, as has been pointed out , very useful items on their own. 

[Paul @ Empress Miniatures]

Civilian Landrovers, both long and short wheel base are now available.

Manufactured in high grade resin and metal parts.

We have also released a useful pack with 30 Cal and GMPG machine guns with vehicle and ground mounts.

These can be used for various vehicles.

Fabulous! I’ll be all over those like a cheap suit. Any news on crew for the FV432?

The civilian Landrovers look nice and I was wondering when they will be getting crews.  Thanks

Yes various types from military to civilian. Just wading through lots of stuff so thought we would bow to pressure from fellow LAFer's an release these first.

Love the new SWB landrover, and appreciate you releasing the wombat crew separately...going to have some fun thinking about different uses for them

Likewise. First thoughts, from left to right. RAMC medic, Royal Engineer demolitions party, RA Forward Observer. Last one just needs a kneeling signaller to go with him. I think I can manage that with what already exists. The first one could also work as RE, either laying/lifting mines or laying charges.

Really looking forward to Milan, now I need to get back to making more terrain.

[Ultravanillasmurf]

Excellent.

Those separate vehicle crew might fit some of the Empress Hotchkiss M201s I have lying about for TW2K (I have not started the Osprey Diet Bien Phu book to see if they had them there).

Has anyone tried the Empress Modern British crew in the civilian Land Rovers?

Must resist buying more Land Rovers until I have painted the first one...

I didn't even think about using them for French Indo-China. Good idea.

[AKULA]

Just looking ahead to the Soviet Airborne, can anyone suggest what Humbrol spray colour would be the best match for Soviet vehicles as a base colour?

[Paul @ Empress Miniatures]

Excellent.

With the odd leg bent and foot removed they do fit.

A new release in 28mm = 1/50 scale is the Alvis Stalwart.

The Stalwart, formally classified by the British Army as Truck, High Mobility Load Carrier (HMLC), 5 Ton, 6 x 6, Alvis/Stalwart and informally known by servicemen as the Stolly, and by former RCT as the Stally, is a highly mobile amphibious military truck. Built by Alvis Cars between 1963 and 1971, these vehicles served with the British Army from 1964 until 1993.
Whilst the Stalwart could be used for troop movement, it was more regularly used for carrying Packed fuel (over 300 Jerry cans) and ammunition.
