                        Posted by Scouterdave on Saturday, June 24, 2017 3:18 PM

                        I am looking to find 1/35 scale US or Canadian artillery figures suitable for an m198 155m towed howitzer(Early Version) in order to complete a diorama.  In addtion, shells, casings, boxes, etc. that would also be suitable.  I am not a scratch builder, so hopefully I can find something out there.

                         

                        thanks

                        I don't know bud. You might have to convert some modern US marines or Army infantry. Why do companies produce an artillery kit without a crew? There's a bunch of them that do that.

                        Shapeways has a set of figures in cold weather gear that are 3D printed. The company has always provided me with excellent service, so I can recommend them with a clear conscience.

                        thanks for the tip.  Figures look pretty good for what I want.  A little pricey.  Will consider it all.

                        ya, why dont they?  Seems like a logical thing to do.  I was hoping to stay away from conversions, but seems to be that or finding a pricey set.  Appreciate the response.

                        AFV Club makes a set of 8" & 155mm artillery ammo. Hobbyfan makes a set of Vietnam artillerymen for a 105mm gun that could be modified to more current looking Redlegs.

                        i need some 1/35 modern 105 ammo boxes and rounds too. do not need the figures. may need some helmets, really any helmet will do as long as they can fit on a velociraptor head.
