I need 1 model of a Smith Gun in 15mm – anyone know where I can source one please?

Cheers,
Dave

Gonna be a struggle I'm afraid – the old SDD / Stronghold one is the only 15mm model I've ever come across, so with them unavailable options are thin to none I suspect.

I never heard of it, so I Googled it.
What a strange looking thing.

Wow, talk about ugly.

It's simple enough that I'd honestly just scratchbuild it, particularly in 15mm.

Found a photo of the gun tipped over into firing position. See second to last pic towards bottom of linked page:

Direct image from ZOC's post:

Yeah, I could make one of those in 15mm pretty easily!

I have the SDD one in 20mm and I've seen the Sergeants Mess version at shows. Although I've not directly compared them I'd say it is smaller. If you don't want to scratch build maybe you could you get away with using that ?

It featured in an episode of Dad's Army. Godfrey's sister Dolly made a cover for theirs, out of sofa chintz.
