"PSC German SdKfz251/1 D - Painted by Warcolours" Topic

More Plastic Soldier Company vehicles: still hard to believe these are only 15mm!

Those are pretty slick! They come with all the stowage and crew etc?

yep, everything's on the sprue. Actually I have some spare I did not use too…

Crikey. Surprised the crew come in the package. They are going to be a tough act to follow for other manufacturers.

Especially with THIS quality at THIS price…

Very nice! How easy is it to swap the crew in and out? i.e. to show if it's carrying troops, or if they've departed? In 6mm, I typically just have duplicate minis – one loaded, one empty. At the PSC price, I suppose you could do the same in 15mm, but it would still seem odd.

well, if you don't glue the crew inside the vehicle I guess you could add it and remove it at your leisure, but I think this would easily lead to damage to the paint job. Unless glued, there is nothing really that would keep them fixed in their place. And if you glue them, there is non way of removing them.
BTW I found it better to paint the crew while still on the sprue and add it at the end; I also painted the interior of the crew compartment before assembling the whole chassis. It is a little more work, but I think the detail of this pieces deserves it

A rare earth magnet would do the job. I'm not saying anyone would be interested in doing this. But perhaps it would give the option to switch formations i.e. you have one set of guys painted as standard Whermacht and another in a camouflage outfit to represent something else, like Waffen SS.
