having just gotten back into gaming again after a very long hiatus, I decided to go with 15mm. I have a bunch of different vehicles (Matchbox, some Hexbug toys, etc) that I am looking to kitbash. What I really need are weapons. I have a few of the sets from Rebel Minis, and know there are a lot more out there, so I was just wondering if there were a few suppliers that TMP members would recommend as there general "go to" sellers. Thanks! |

<shameless self-promotion> I have some things on my Shapeways shop: link I also have plans for more, so if there's anything specific you want to see, let me know! </shameless self-promotion> |

Gundam, zoids and anime models. Most manufacturers produce coversion and upgrade kits in 1/72/100/144 scale that are very useful for kitbashing. |

Heer46 has the Nachtjager MG42 w/IR scope and lamp, along with the gunner's and driver's IR scope and lamp for Panthers and Hanomags. link
Battlefront has a .50cal and .30cal AA MG set: link USO180
MG34 & MG42 set link GSO181 and GSO182 on the next page for AA mounted MGs
Italian Breda MGs: link ISO180
British Bren guns on AA mounts: link BSO180
Soviet DShK (tripod with crew): link SSO105 and
DShK on vehicle AA mounts: link SSO181 Khurasan has some bigger weapons that could be mounted on cars, like the Federal Exterminators' sentry guns or the various MAKO platform weapons. Dream Pod 9 has at least 3 different weapons packs (Blitz, Northern, and Southern weapons packs): link The DP9 guns will tend to be bigger, bordering on heroic 28mm sized. |

Lots of people have extras about. Trade for them. Also Paulson Games reopened his store. Some stuff there.

Lion in the Stars has most of the suggestions I would have made. DP9 has plenty of missile launchers and some gatlin guns that should be perfect. I have seen people using WH40K pistols as 15mm Heavy Weapons. So a bolt pistol is a heavy bolter. Plasma pistol is a heavy plasma. ect… |

Pretty sweet, Gavin! Is there a way to figure shippage without signing up? Thanks! Sorry, I got a bit off track; do you have an FLGS, hoplite318? I know mine's a great place to have an eye out for spare bits. I get a bajillion every time I'm around to clean up. ;->= And, of course, there's always green stuff and toothpicks. DIY CAN rule. Just be on the look out for anything with small parts that you're about to pitch. Doug |

Stan Johansen makes some weapons scaled specifically for Matchbox or Hot Wheels scale cars. They are made for post-apocalypse Car Wars or Road Warrior style fighting, but would work fine for what you want as well, I think. I have some for my Car Wars games. Here's a link, scroll down. link |

Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks everyone for your suggestions! Hopefully I will have some pics to post of some of these projects very soon! |

Ok, now that I have found some weapons, what about 15mm sci fi driver, gunner and/or passenger figures? |

Hoplite318, I hope you don't mind if I hop on your thread -- I"m also in need of some gunners for my Brigade Models Mantra cavalry vehicles. Any suggestions from anybody? |

Dave As I was speaking to Tony at the weekend (see TMP link ) he said that hes having some new (Martin Baker sculpted) figures done "as we speak" which include the Mantra Combat Car Gunners. But I'm sure he can say that for himself! John T |
