Sci-fi Farm Equipment in 6mm

[Pattus Magnus]

I need to consult the LAF collective about something. I had a lot of fun with my Battlesuit Alpha games last month, so I am expanding my collection of terrain and scatter items. Urban stuff is well covered, but I would like to add farms that actually look like farms with the various equipment they usually have. I haven’t had much luck so far with finding suitable machinery (tractors, with or without front-end loader equipment). I have a few of the 6mm engineering vehicle/excavators that GZG made (they seem to no longer offer the “generic” 6mm sci-fi line those were from, unfortunately), and I looked through Brigade Models for civilian and engineering vehicles, but found no basic ‘tractors’.

Any suggestions would be welcome, including 3D prints (a couple of my friends now have resin printers that could handle the job).

Civilian utility and farm vehicle suggestions would also be great.

Doing a search on Cults3d & Thingyverse for say "tractor" will yield good results to start. Scifi ones will need to be kitbashed, though.

Thanks for the suggestion - I did a quick search and there are some files that look promising (if they are feasible at 1:300, one model is designed to print as 7 parts and a micro version will be a nuisance to build).

GZG's civilian stuff is still on the site, filed under: https://shop.groundzerogames.co.uk/6mm-dirtside/future-wars.html#5

DF-S19. Tracked Excavator
DF-S20  All terrain rovers (military or civilian)

Thanks for pointing that out! I looked again and found the Future Wars lines this time - not sure how I missed them. I’m glad those haven’t been discontinued!

I brought some of these recently and they are lovely models. Here's some pictures

Also if you need more cranes there are these


Also the Range truck is quite nice
