And on the heels of my handcart thread…

Is any manufacturer making US paratroooper supply containers for WW2 in NWE?

Something like this:

These British ones are available from 1st Corps

I'd love to be able to find a set for the US.

I'll add it to the list right after German paratroop supply containers.

Hey, now! That's service!

While you're at it, any chance of these? TMP link

We'll have a look at them.

Foundry do have some German containers, but you only get 2 mixed with some wounded/dead figures.

I understand warlord will be doing them as well fairly soon…hopefully in decent-sized packs, 'cos I want loads of them.

Those containers are pretty nice.
I must admit for us ones I would be tempted to go for a milliput or air clay. Roll and chop into pieces "sausage" ( the a5 above ) or flatten the sides to make rectangles (a6).
Glue some paper straps on.

I thought about making my own, but don't think I could do them justice. Good to hear that there may be a couple of choices coming to the market!

Thanks!

O know for a fact I could n't do them justice…tried and failed miserably.
