Accessories in 75mm

[ghamilt1]

Hello everyone;

It seems that 75mm is fast becoming a very popular scale with a lot of manufactures and modelers. It certainly has become one of my favorite scales to work in, so much so that I have even started to do a major conversion/sculpture based on Prieser's 75mm academy figures. This from a dedicated painter!

So, my question is simply this; Are any of you aware of a company that is producing accessory parts in 75 mm? I would especially be interested in weapons and some pieces of equipment. I'm not particularly fussy about the period of history. As it happens, my conversion will be a member of the 21st regiment of Grenadiers, Royal Scots Fusiliers in the 1750's, so muskets, water bottles and things like that would be awesome. But anything really would be a time saver for future projects. Just curious and I know of no better place than the planet to get answers to questions like this. Thanks in advance.

Hola Glenn,

I think that The Lost Battalion has some accessories in 75mm. So does Michael Roberts, atleast I know that MR has a musket as well as shoe blanks in 75mm, maybe more. Check their websites out:

Fusilier is the best source for 75-80mm weapons and accessories for the Great War and Steve Warrilow is now beginning to make Civil War & Western figures and accessories also. If he doesn't list the weapon or accessory separately, just write him an e-mail.

Outstanding gentlemen! I will definately check these sources out. I sure hope I can pry the helmet off of those skulls, as I would really like to try my hand at some WWI figures.

Dan and Anders, as an aside, are you going to Chicago this year? I already have my room booked and airline ticket purchased, so maybe I'll see you there.

I will be there, if work allows. Look forward to seeing you there!

All the best,
