However, Im not referring to full kits, but more along the line of accessories...
i.e Stug Stowage, Sherman sand bagged hull armour, street lights, etc etc. Im not really set up for full scale production, but can do smaller accessory sets. Im always open to suggestions, please feel free to contact me direct if you want. Thanks Paul www.redzebramodels.co.uk |

it was mentioned in another thread that there are very few buildings in 1/48 perhaps not whole buildings but rather wall sections that can be arranged or something? i dunno i for one would like to see more canvas tops for vehicles (ie. demag, protze, marder iii, m10, or any other open topped vehicle that i cant think of at the moment  or maybe some tents (large or small) or maybe boards or board sections (for foxhole tops and stuff) just some suggestions  |

1)
Stretchers (Litters), with and without a wounded soldier (figure). The figure can be covered with a blanket and have a bare head.
I want a few to put in the back of a WC54 ambulance and on a CMK M29 Wessel.
They can be used with any dust off helicopter or any other medical vehicles of any country and time period.

2)
30 and 50 Cal ammo cans. Not just a couple, but a lot of them in a single set.
During the Korean war, US tanks (Pershings and Shermans) carry large numbers of ammo cans on fenders or rear racks.
They also can be used for a load in a WWII GMC 2 1/2 truck or on other vehicles.

3)
M10 Ammo Trailer

I'd add, modern figures. The Airfix ones are OK but the poses aren't really what I'm after

Properly scaled and proportioned figures - in styrene - preferably by any competent plastic company (NOT Tamiya!!). Resin figures are great, but expensive, ie. the Corsar Rex figs are $10+ /figure - that's as much as some 1/35 resin figures! I'd like to see something along the lines of Dragon figs (or even Bronco) in 1/48 - now, that's a fantasy! 1/48 modelling needs a good swift kick somewhere to revive it. Decent plastic figures are a good start.

Decent plastic figures are a good start. Id also love to see more figures, currently talking with some sculptors, to see what we can do... I started my business with 35th scale, 54 , 75, 90 and 120mm figures........ however as I get older my eyes are going and 48th scale is right on the limit...any figures I do would be in resin, would love to see plastic figures, unfortunately until the big companies start making plastic figures were a bit stuck..
would a range of 48th scale heads be useful to convert Tamiya figures, as I had some bare heads mastered by Lu a while ago, was toying with the idea of a set of heads, rather like what Hornet etc do.

Sd Kfz 251 (C or D) crew figures. Since in reality they were crammed in cheek-to-cheek (ass cheek, that is) they would probably have to be sculpted and cast as a single unit (5 figures/unit), and a unit for each side, so that they would actually fit in the space. And please make each soldier individual so that they do look like maniquins, or clones. Germans...Germans...Germans...all sorts of Germans! Winter, Summer, early and late war. In action poses, advancing, resting...etc!  |

BTW, when you sculpt 1/48 figures, do you make them 6 scale feet (1 1/2"), or Tamiya size (5 scale feet), or GasoLine size (somewhere in between)? My figures of choice are usually Art of War and Hecker-Goros (1 1/2" tall), and don't mix well with GasoLine, and Tamiya is right out!
