Hi carl,i was looking for a length about 75mm (3inch)

 

[housecarl]

I've had a look Brian, can't find it. I only had a bout an inch anyway.
Sorry mate,
Carl.

Smudger, having exactly the same problem........

What I have found though is these which are from a 3d printshop, I do not know if they will work as they are 50 cal, but 1/12 or 1/16 in scale. And have been thinking about ordering some to see if they are viable.

I have been pondering this for a while as the web and evilbay are awash with brass 1/35th scale ammo.......... I was wondering would say as an example a 1/35th scale 88mm artillery round pass as a 1/10 MG34 round or GPMG round or something else similar would,??????????? then one could use brass 1/35th rounds...... thoughts?????

1/35th 88mm would be to big, they scale out at 2.5mm. That would be 22.5mm for 1/9th.

Hi
We have MG 34 ammo belts that come with the German Para kit. They are 1/9th.
We could probably sort something out for you!
Check out www.120mini.com

Tony - that was a good thought about the 88mm ammo,but as carl pointed out it would be too big,but thanks for the imput mate

Hi Brian,
Im working on a 1/12 German full figure with mg 34.I have some test castings of the ammo belt I made.They come in 30mm sections but three rounds at the end havent cast properly.I could send you a few to make up a belt.
Cheers

Smudger you have missed what I said, 88mm was an example, there are 75 cm... 2 pounders... 20mm... 37mm etc etc etc, one size of artillery shell should be close
