There's some very good models being produced on 3D printers, Armand. My gaming mate's done a few of those in that list. I'll see if I can get some piccies when he gets back from hol's.

Pictures man. We need pictures!

And … at least in 6mm … there are good models from 3D printers and mainstream model companies. I make use of some in my own Italian forces.


Here for example are my Autocannone da 75/27 su Cierano 50 CMs. This is a 75mm AA gun on a common medium truck chassis.


Here are my Autocannone da 75/27 su SPA TL-37s. These are basic 75mm SP artillery on the highly capable light all-wheel drive truck used in North Africa.


Here are some home kit-bashed Autocannone da 65/17 su Dodge WC-51s. This is my own concoction -- there is a fair bit of photographic and documentation evidence that the Italians mounted their 65mm guns on captured British trucks. I have no confirming evidence they mounted them on captured American trucks. But if they did, well I have some ready.
