Model Forum / General / Models / December 20041/72 oil drums
Any one know where I can buy some in the UK please? Thanks. Graham 'Rip' Townsend http://www.ripnet-uk.com/corvette/hms_campanula_1.htm http://www.ripnet-uk.com/corvette/hms_campanula_2.htm >Any one know where I can buy some in the UK please? The Hasegawa 1/72 Field Camp Equipment Set (kit #31132) has 5 in it along with numerous other things you might find useful. They also would not be hard to turn out on a small lathe. John W. Alger IPMS 10906 www.ExcelNow.com/johnalger A cheap source of these would be the re-issued Merit oil drums. They're made for model railways and are probably 1/76th scale but I doubt that the difference would show. Try local model shops, department stores with large toy departments or mail order from model railway firms.

Try http://www.mainlytrains.co.uk/ Type "oil drums" into the keyword search box. This should give you four options. The Langley ones can be seen at www.langleymodels.co.uk. Type "F103" into the search box.  SignatureEnzo I wear the cheese. It does not wear me. > Any one know where I can buy some in the UK please? Thanks very much for all the answers - Enzo, that was exactly what I was looking for! The other sets were good but I'm looking for drums to put on the deck of my corvette, and so a tent, tank traps and so on would have been a bit over the top... ;-) BTW Merry Christmas all Graham 'Rip' Townsend http://www.ripnet-uk.com/corvette/hms_campanula_1.htm http://www.ripnet-uk.com/corvette/hms_campanula_2.htm >> Any one know where I can buy some in the UK please? > > Thanks very much for all the answers - Enzo, that was exactly what I > was looking for!

There are an awful lot of model railway accessories that can be useful to military modellers. SignatureEnzo I wear the cheese.

Went to John Dutfields in Chelmsford on Saturday and picked up a security fencing kit which will do nicely for an airfield diorama. The range of modern street furniture stuff was amazing - bins, portaloos, benches, oil drums, ballast sacks, the list is endless. Nick Nick- >Oh yes.

The range >of modern street furniture stuff was amazing - bins, portaloos, benches, oil >drums, ballast sacks, the list is endless. Not to stray too far off the subject, but I build 1/43 race cars. I'd love to add everyday objects such as you mentioned to a diorama I'm building. Are any of these items available in 1/48 scale, and is there a 'Net contact for John Dutfields in Chelmsford? TIA, Rick > Nick- > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > I'm building. Are any of these items available in 1/48 scale, and is > there a 'Net contact for John Dutfields in Chelmsford? There should still be model railway stuff available. O Gauge is pretty near to 1/48. SignatureEnzo I wear the cheese. It does not wear me. As far as I remember, 1/43rd scale is the same as model railway O Gauge (7mm to the foot). You might find that there is a wide range of things that are made for lineside use that would come in handy for your race track.

Thanks for all the replies. Got some from Milicast in the end (www.milicast.com). Exactly what I was after, cheap, and delivered the day after I ordered by phone. Overall a very good service and I'd thoroughly recommend the company!
