Anyone know best places for 20mm interwar to get involved with VBCW please |

Are you after a list of kit and manufacturers? Or eye candy for inspiration? Most people doing VBCW seem to stick to 28mm which is where the specialist manufacturers. Which is a shame as there is plenty of interesting stuff in 20mm if you are prepared to look for it. There is a guy who goes by Wingate who I'd say is the leading 20mm VBCW guy – his stuff is great. This link should be a start link |

A list of any manufacturer who provides if possible… 28mm is expensive.. 20mm is just the right scale for me.. |

Check out Irregular. CP Models Carrie's TQD, which has gangsters and police. They also have WWII German police in plainclothes. |

This site has 20mm figures for 1915/1920 along with the Bandera SCW figures. It's in England. rhmodels.com/46.html |

Early War Miniatures should be your first of call: link
Frontline Wargaming does excellent resin vehicles: link
They also do WWI figures: link
SHQ Miniatures has an excellent BEF range:
Their Dutch range also has a useful tankette:
FAA Miniatures has useful civilians and Home Guard types in their Britain Stands Alone range:
Elhiem Figures has pulpy stuff that may also be useful: link
Militia types are also available from Minairons, though a lot of them are in helmets unlikely to have made their way to Britain:
Shell Hole Scenics does WWI sailors: link Sgt's Mess has odds and sods that would not look out of place: link

Perfect ideas! I am also in the hunt for something like this. My idea was to use different 1/72 plastics, HAT and Strelets come to mind. But where to get civilians and personalities? link hat.com/currentW.html |

Early War Miniatures are great. Birch gun and Independent if Resin are very useful |
