Hi
Who does a good Maxim gun and crew, I'm sure there's loads out there but I'd love a recommendation.
I'd like to get some 1/56 plastic AFV as well (of course!!!)- Rubicon or Warlord???
I've seen some Italeri stuff are these the same as the Bolt Action Warlord kits in a slightly different box.
I normally game 19th cent and before so this is all new.:) |

I recommend the full Warlord Games range – we here in Lone Star Historical Miniatures (LSHM) and Texas Bolt Action group love everything Warlord Games produces – great models, great company, excellent sales staff and a fun game to play. I have a very large Russian army, I especially like the new Russian winter dress kit. You can't go wrong with them. Charlie |

I like the Crusader miniatures Maxim. I like Rubicon tanks and AFV's too! |

I have seen the Maxim and crew in te warlord Army box and it looks nice and I have their plastic T34-85, which went together like a dream and likewise looks nice, certainly good quality fit and finish. |

I just cast Kosta Heristanidis version for the Eureka 28mm Soviets yesterday. It looks good to me, though it is in metal.
Also made a 50mm mortar and antitank rifle team at the same time. Nic EUREKA MINIATURES |

Do you want the vehicle plastic kits because you want to do (major) conversion work? Because if you're not a great modeller type, then Army Group North Miniatures' solid resin models are easy to assemble (often just needing metal gun barrels glued on) with no other assembly required.

Thanks for the info everyone -gratefully received.
I prefer metal figure and I think that plastic kit seem more accurate/detailed (could be wrong!!)-also they would have straight gun barrels that won't bend and I don't want to be fitting steel or brass ones.
Having said that those AGNM vehicles look pretty good. |

Warlord Plastic Soviets are really great…. For lead I prefer Artizan or even Eureka. Some of the warlord lead is a little brittle, depends on the kit. Warlord plastic AFVs are easy kits to assemble (except the Puma – :) )… The Rubicon kits are another good choice. |

Thanks, Graham. And I'll keep an eye out for your name on any emails just in case. BTW, nothing is going to bend a barrel on our KVs or T-34/40 models. :) |

That's good to know -I've got a couple of Westwind models which have soft metal barrels so I thought that might be the general case. |

Black Tree makes a nice Maxim MG and crew (3), both deployed and moving. |
