Default 28mm FMTV models

Miniature Building Authority, purveyor of fine (albeit painfully-expensive) terrain, has launched a Kickstarter campaign for FMTV trucks scaled for use with 28mm miniatures:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...-truck-project

Slightly anachronistic for classic T2k but usable for modern timelines, as well as for the obvious modern/ultramodern wargaming. Given the relative ease by which small PC parties can acquire 2.5-tonners on the starting vehicle table, one of these might be a better investment than a resin Bradley or Abrams model...

Thread necromancy, but these are now available for general purchase on Miniature Building Authority's web site, along with a variety of HEMTTs and some other stuff:

I'm not sure I could convince myself to part with nearly a hundred dollars for a HEMTT gun truck. OTOH, fifty bucks for a Ural is a bit less budget-destroying, and probably more usable in the vast majority of T2k campaigns.

Many decades ago, I looked in the toy section of HEB for something for my nephew. Looking over the toy aisle, I found a great HO-scale Bradley, M-1 Abrams (which was a little small), a HMMWV, and a Leopard 1 (an A4, I would guess). It can be surprising what you can find in a toy aisle or store.

Nice trucks. Those Bobby Jackson "Thugz" figures, though, seem a little... uh, problematic.

I'm not connected with the company apart from a customer but I have bought 20mm and 1/72nd stuff from here. They do 28mm too.
