"Peter Pig 'good ideas'" Topic

Once in a while I do get surprised.
I ordered four of the PP USMC HMMWVS for my current project.

As I wanted to be able to mix and match I was pleasantly surprised to find that they did the weapon options as add on packs. So my 2 Mk19 and 2 TOW armed variants have an additional pack of M2s to swap in and out. This seemed the most cost effective way to have variety with four vehicles.

Pretty simple idea but shows a degree thought. I then find that the HMMWVs while a common chassis have two variants of the rear section which they drop in at random in your packs. You can however ask them nicely to alter the mix.

The Mk19 and M2 gunners also have separate heads so it is easy to customize a bit more either with the heads supplied or anything from the "heads and odds" range.

Lastly the M2 pack has a closed up mount with no crew figure as well allowing you to mount what ever weapon you want on it so the spare weapons from the BF M113 kit might get pressed into something else.

Doesn't take a lot to put a smile on my face but I was impressed by the little touches. These have been out for ages so probably isn't that much of a surprise.

Thank you. Support appreciated!!

Hi Martin,
Just need to persuade you to make a Stowage pack for them that could also be used on a lot of other US vehicles in 15mm ;)

Si
