Some years back I bought some 20mm scale resin parachutes on the ground to use to depict a DZ in airborne games. These were painted and used many time, but over the years have got damaged to the point of now being virtually unusable. I cannot remember who made them & have trawled the internet to try to find this information. Lancer Miniatures make some but these are not the ones I have/had, so do any of the fine people on TMP know of other manufacturers who make discarded parachutes on the ground for 20mm scale? Many thanks for your help. |

You may try sculpting yourself, it is not so difficult: link |

Thanks Gents – it was the Grubby tanks 'chutes & drop containers that I had. The ones from Gamecraft look amazing & I may just have to get some of these too. Many thanks for your help. |

You may try sculpting yourself, it is not so difficult: Nice work, I love your conversions and painting! So, how did you make those 'chutes? They look so much better than the small, flat "dead squid" you get in a set :) I've used small paper cake or candy baking paper cases to make mine – they don't look too bad and you can get that billowing effect of the wind taking them as the trooper struggles with his harness. Best of all they are cheap!! I roll a d6 for each trooper landing: a 6 means he gets free right away, 2 though 5 he is replaced with one of these marker figures. Next turn, he frees himself on a 5 or 6, the third turn 4,5 or 6 and so on. If he throws a 1 on the first turn, he's injured on landing so can only move (painfully!) at crawl speed the rest of the game |

And white cotton thread superglued after painting. Nice rules. Good idea to underline neccesity to free from ropes. |
