Does anyone know where to get some 6mm Hammer's Slammers decals? (water transfers)

I saw some at Ainsty but $5.50 USD + S&H seems a bit much for 1 sheet.

Does anyone know of anyplace else?

Thanks

Moe

I have been using 15 mm decals from Doms Decals, German turret numbers in red and Scottish 15 th Div 'rampant lion' ……

They fit nicely on my 6 mm Old Crow blowers, tanks,hogs and combat cars.

Yes, they are making 6mm for The Slammers … They look like the ones on the pic of my Slammer TF I posted on another thread you started Moe …

For what it's worth, a single sheet is enough for 16 vehicles with spares for (the inevitable) loss of the odd decal and that includes tank names as well (not all vehicles would have names written on them).

That's 34 cents a blower.

If you just want Lions on Shields and give only some of them numbers (and are really careful with the decals) there's enough big shields for 48 vehicles, plus small shields as well to go on gun shields or anywhere else you want to put them (jeeps etc).

That's 11 cents a blower plus free jeeps.

Jeeps will need tiny numbers anyway, which aren't on the sheet.

Glad to know they're available from Ainsty, this had dropped off my radar – and I'd pitched for them earlier this year when word got out that he might make them, so I'd better step up!

Here's a piccie of my 6 mm HS with the 15 mm decals….

Here's a link with all my 6mm Slammers with decals like you can get from Ainsty … Surf & Scroll > link

Gaz,

That looks like a Much better solution. With 260+ vehicles I think no matter how I did it, Ainsty wouldn't be cheap. They're great decals but more then I can spare.

Thanks for your help everyone. I appreciate the feedback.

Glad to help……..having only 30 odd HS vehicles I would have gone with Ainsty but didn't know they did them……the other US based outfit ( can't recall their name!) had just withdrawn from the market……….

I used Legion 4 's pics as a paint guide and reference for the decals! Inspiring stuff!!

Oh ! Thank You Gaz !! Those paint jobs did looked familiar ! I followed/based my paint jobs on what John Treadaway and his crew did in "The Crucible" and his online Slammer site > link

As is turned out there are 5 different Blower tank decals and 3 different combat car decal sets.

It's good to know I have options.

Yeah, I know … I got to see them before they went public … evil grin

Well,

I gave in a picked up some Ainsty Casting Decals. Once received I ran out to Hobby Lobby and picked up a Magnified Lamp. (Damn they are sooo small)

Things are looking good and I will post some picks soon.
