Hi Guys,
can anyone tell me where I can buy 1/16 white metal German Rifles in the UK ? Ive looked on fleebay but cant find anywhere without paying silly money on postage ! I'm in the process of making a wooden crate and would like to detail 4 or so riffles to place in it
Any contacts would be great

Cheers

Not the UK but the EU. Jagdpanzer.net. Just purchased a selection of German and American weapons from them. I thought they were excellent.

RCTANKS.DE has bunches of them. Look under German troop accessories.

Germany is close enough to the UK right?

Thanks very much guys ! The info was great and I've just bought 4 rather nice rifles.......... thanks Scalawag I decided to go with the resin ones.....they doo look good and I though the price was fair also........HAPPY DAYS

I can't help it, I have to quote Ahnold - Don't do dat!

Which ones, man, which ones? You said four, but they come in pairs so did you get two of four different types or four rifles total, two of two types? Or maybe four of one type in two pairs? The suspense is killin' me! And you didn't promise photos when they're done! I wonder if that free postage is worldwide. Kevin gives free worldwide postage on small stuff like komodos and vipers. Those Thompsons would look great on my Sherman, or in one of the halftracks.

Glad you found something you like, Jeman, and I'll be looking forward to hearing more.

Oh I wish I'd never looked
You jokers up there are real lucky, just so you know

Hi Guys ! Your comments are very appreciated and get I will keep you all posted on my little crate MAX-U52.....I ordered the first rifle that came up on that site.....im kinda hoping that its roughly right, and ordered two pairs of them I'm planning to place them in the crate and have the lid half open. The crate pictured is my first attempt and a bit of a trial ha ha but I'm not sure on the colour....ive gone for a kinda wood finnish, but I'm sure they were painted......can anyone shed any light ? I had some wood oil at hand so gave it a try ! heres a few pics, but early days and waiting for the rifles to arrive to detail and take it from there. That's what I like about our Hobbie....you can divert to different aspects of tanking and give it a go......HAPPY DAYS ! and its relaxing to do......its the CRATE ESCAPE




Cheers guys and have a great trundle

Wow. That's good, Man, very good. I wouldn't change a thing, except maybe try some of that rope from Syren Ship model company. The rifles are gonna look great in there.

Thanks MAX-U52 I will look into that site and for the rope handles ! The riffles have arrived and I must say I'm very happy with them......they are really nice so ill post a few pics asap and my wife made this rather nice flag to go in my crate, and I luv it....adds a bit of colour ........she sooooo supports my hobbies !

on the down side, the crate I made is just a tiny bit smaller than the rifles.....schoolboy error lol, so the flag and some other stowage items will be added and the lid will then be placed half opened....and the riffle crate will begin.......again

There's a fella on eBay called dioramaparts , he's in Germany and does 1/16 scale parts of loads of stuff I've bought boxes 88mm shells guns and turret mounted mg 34s with turret ring stick grenades panzerfausts etc etc ,they are all metal and look great painted, shipping costs are quite high but if you ask him he does a deal on it.
Well worth a look
