Best 15mm vehicle stowage packs WITHOUT Sherman wheels
« on: July 06, 2021, 11:03:09 AM »
I am after quite a lot of 15mm stowage but all the packs I have looked at seem to be bulked up with lots of spare wheels for Shermans, which are frankly useless to me.
Is there good stuff out there I am missing?
I am going to build a wargames army, a big beautiful wargames army, and Mexico is going to pay for it.

I would suggest making your own if you need lots. Rolled tarps can be made from either tissue type paper or artist foil. You can use the same stuff to cover simple balsa boxes. Tie it all down with cotton.
Cheese cloth makes excellent netting. Sand bags are also easily made from either green stuff or milliput.

 You will save yourself a lot of money in the long run and have cool looking stowage that nobody else has ;)

Thanks modelwarrior but my fingers are no longer up to that, especially in 15mm scale. I admit I am looking for the easy way out!

Is this for my African (AK47) neighbours?

In short James either give me the vehicles
and I'll stowage them up, or I can put some 
bits together for you.

Hi, Skytrex and S&S models both sell stowage packs in 15mm…..without Sherman wheels! Not the cheapest but seem to answer your question.
