It's me again. has anyone come across any simple Stryker,M-113 or US military trucks (2.5 ton, HEMET etc.) that are around or that can be converted to 28-30mm scale? I'm not looking for paper models to display but simplified versions for use with figures.

I have and love his sets but I tried to blow them up and they just didn't work out too well. I'm thinking that 1/100 would be the smallest that I can blow up and have them look reasonably well on the table. Thanks for taking the time to post the link though.

this was the test i did. I had to really adjust the parts and am still fiddling with the scale but to be honest I just am not happy with the results.

Have you looked at Christopher Roe's models over at Genet Models? I don't know if some of the convoy vehicles would suit your needs, but at least it lets me remind everyone of the wonderful collection of models he has available.

I think I might try to mod convoy model to look a little less Sci-Fi. thanks again for suggestions.

I always thought the Convoy set just looked more military, not Sci Fi.

I totally forgot to mention the Papermau blog. If you're not used to navigating the site (and it's very pic heavy), you might get some mileage scrolling about 2/3 of the way down and checking out the labels you can filter on, on the right. Things are tagged by scale as well as subject matter.

Very true, but I just went thru the 300+ military entries and found very few modern military pieces that weren't more 'model' than gaming

thanks guys. I think i may have found what I was looking for. Between stuff at Streetpaper.de the convoy set and some Czech 1/100 scale stuff I think I'll be able to coble something useful together.
