I am working on a Hammer's Slammers army currently and decided I needed combat cars. I couldn't find any in 6mm so I decided to make my own.

Used CinC light gun carriers with Brigade crew served Gatling's. Snipped the barrels down a little and cut off a few little bits to make them fit right, then super glued them to the sides. They came out pretty good.

We shall see...

It's going to be a few months before they are even close to play ready.

And that's assuming I don't get super excited when all the extra bits I picked up on Ebay for the Space Ork army you gave me arrive and to don't paint that first.

That's a rule set and lots of info and pictures...no models. Trust me I looked around for a long time. The company that was making them currently is not producing miniatures.

Have you tried contacting Old Crow Models I know he has stopped selling online but there is a note that you can contact him if you want anything. Might be worth a go.

I haven't e-mailed him, but the website hasn't been updated in a number of years so I am making a bit of an assumption that it is over. Also, some of the chatter on the boards is that it is.

Plus, I got to make my own, which was fun.

The C in C figures are excellent Slammers proxies on all levels, I think. He makes a pretty fine looking Heavy Hover that could be a good Blower. Also, I've always been partial to the DEIMOS series tanks from GZG - Jon cast me up a bunch on special order last summer for my Earthlight Division mercs, who are of a kindred spirit to the Slammers, so I can speak to that.

Just had this from Jez

Hi Richard,

All of my ranges are very much still in production. You can view my old site archived here –
http://web.archive.org/web/20120104195053/http://www.oldcrowmodels.co.uk/index.htm

There’s no shopping cart but you can view the products, and I am happy to take orders by email. Payment can be arranged through Paypal and I will continue to work with the old prices for now.

Many new products have been developed since the old site was last updated. I can now supply Slammers Jeeps in Mortar, Tribarrel and Cargo versions, and many of the opposition detachments can now be assembled.

Regards
Jez

Blimey! If that's the case he really needs a living presence on the Web! Unless he's bowled over by orders all ready...
