Hi All,
I know of the Pulp Figures' Cappy Boyd and the Bolt Action early-WWII Polish.
Does anybody else make a 28mm inter-war AT rifle trooper on foot/on the move?
I'm not overly particular re: nation or conflict; I plan to shoe-horn the fig into a VBCW'38 campaign.
Thanks,
L

Pulp Figures does a sikh infantryman with a boyes atr. A headswop would be easy enough.

The Battle Honors Commonwealth Infantry packs have a figure with the ATR shouldered. Someday I will get around to converting the BTD stretcher bearer figures to a 2-man carry team (apparently the thing was so heavy it took 2).

As noted, the Pulp Sikh figure is an easy headswap, but wears tropical uniform. I think the kilted Scots pack might have an ATR-armed figure.

Perrys plastic Desert Rats kit also comes with Boys anti-tank rifles, though they are probably intended to be posed prone. Anyway, since they are wearing British equipment, all you need to do to convert them over to VBCW is to paint their shorts brown.

If you want metals, there is also this pack that contains kneeling anti-tank rifleman and a bunch of other useful stuff:

As noted by others above, there is Pulp figure Indian Sikh with the Boys AT rifle that can be converted to British, here is my version

picture

Top row, second from left but as Jeff notes they are in tropical uniform perhaps not best for UK. By the way, the Tommy gunner on the bottom is also a conversion from that Indian set. Painted by Fernando .

Bolt action makes a nice boys ATR. For the Belgians, You get choice of head and you could always swap with a Woodbine head of your choice. There's also a Chindit version. Maybe there early war British have one but I don't remember.

Company B can solve your problems by providing you with a separate casting of the rifle. Convert any figure you want.
