Hammers Slammers

I just received a shipment of 15mm vehicles from Old Crow and they are fantastic!!!!

Great detail and the individual infantry figures almost perfectly match Flames of War figures.

I'd be interested in seeing a scatch of one of these. Please keep us up to date, JJ.

Now that's a lot closer to what I had in mind. Thanks for the tip. Also in the original stories the leader of Hammer's Slammers was Alois "Hamner". The news media in the original story came up with the name Hammer's Slammers. Just an interesting bit of trvia.Thanks again.

Go to Starship Modeler main site look in there gallery under vehicle & vessels the first one is a Slammer Blower .

Good luck

I read Hammer's Slammers many years ago and periodically pick it up again and reread it and some of the other books in the series. I think the original story that eventually became the first book was a story in Analog. I probably still have it if I want to try and search for it. I saw the game pictures but they don't match the image that I have in my mind, I'm thinking more like an M1A1 Abrams with metal guards covering the sides of the air cushions kind of like the old wheel protectors on some 60's cars. A Patton II might also work as it has a  "Boat" shaped front but the turret is to high. A combination of both?

a quick search yielded this from www.oldcrowmodels.co.uk

and this:

this is a main battle tank, and is the most common model, however, the recent complete volumization of the series has a different style tank on the cover:

personally, I prefer the ones on the cover (Volume 3 and 2 cover art pictured above.)

Enjoy... and good luck. I've thought about scratchin' these tanks myself...

Google Hammer's Slammers. If that don't work too well for you, there are some illustrations based on the game pieces in the books--Vol. 1-3. I can scan them in and upload them for you if you need. (They look pretty wierd.)

How did you come across Hammer's Regiment? just out of curiosity.
