Since the real "Bommas" are hard (and expensive!) to come by these days, I'm looking for some proxy fill-ins in 6mm/1:285. Something sci-fi WWII-esque should do. Thanks for any tips! |

doesnt someone do a steampunk game in around 6mm ish – I recall some of the British bombers looking orky enough, can't recall the game at the moment, sorry. |

Dystopian Wars is closer to 1/700th, more like 3mm.
The range from Vanguard might be more useful :) link |

Those sure look familiar Walrus! Thanks! |

Personally I would repurpose these lancastirans link or stukhogs link unless I was going to use them for Imperial forces. Vanguard is great for Epic Proxies and from what I see and hear, good quality & great service. |

Get a bunch of 1/300 or 1/350 fighters and orky them up. |

I know you said you are looking for a smaller scale model, but if cost is the only issue with a full-sized bomber, look at this conversion blog article: link |

I have a load of 1/350th WW2 plastic planes (including some B-24's) will have to give that a go. Would work well with P-47's. Adrian |

You could "Orky up" some early Soviet jets, like the MiG-15 and MiG-17. |

I see I need to make some book marks for possible later use in a resurrection of Hard Vacuum! Artraccoon's obviously right about the original inspiration. ManofErebor, pretty sure he was talking specifically micro scale, though that IS a beaut! Reminds me of the Mitchell bomber I was going to make into an Ork buggy for a 40K deathrace. ;->= Doug |

It's funny that Imperial & Eldar bombers are so readily available on Ebay but not so the Orkies. I'm looking at some of those 3d printed 6mm bombers as possible conversions. I would need a generous portion of rocket & gun pods though. |

Here's a couple interesting ones. A good Orky paint job might keep them from looking too "Imperial".

Not sure about the availability of that one any more.
