Hi fellow Microscale gamers… Does anyone know where to buy Microscale parachutes please? Know that Adler do them ..on the ground….but I'm looking for fully open parachutes to model my little guys falling to ground. Any ideas please? Seen anything…Shapeways etc? Thanks for any help! AJ

If it was me, I'd think about getting a bag of these and cutting them in half: link

At $8 USD per chute that's a bit steep.

This picture struck me as quite ingenious. I'm not sure if the chutes are scratchbuilt or bought. Here is the link to a TMP discussion. TMP link Here is how the guy made them. Tutorial about half way down the page. link

Heroics and Ros just produced a big 6mm Brit WW2 para range.

We do and we have a guy on the ground bring in his parachute but thought he was looking for a guy in the air
