New additions to the WW1 & Interwar ranges

 

Plus the release of the first of the former Chieftain models range.

 

See below for more details

 

A common query heard at shows and on the newsgroups is whether or not a certain vehicle range is compatible with the figures of a particular manufacturer. Too often wargamers spend out good money on vehicles only to find they are too large or too small for the armies they are designed for. This problem is all the worse given the huge variation in supposedly uniform figure scales. 

 

 

So now at Sloppy Jalopy we have decided to produce ranges of vehicles specifically designed to go with the leading figure ranges for selected periods.

 

 

We began in 2003 with interwar vehicles to complement the larger 28mm figures being produced for WW1, Back of Beyond and High Adventure games.

 

 

In 2004 we expanded into modern vehicles designed to complement the growing number of companies producing 28mm modern ranges.  

 

Then in 2009 we bought Chieftain Models, formerly owned by our good friend Ian Crouch who has been responsible for designing much of the Sloppy Jalopy moderns range.

 

 

We now have a rapidly expanding catalogue of vehicles for both these periods created by some of the best designers in the business. In addition we have begun to produce a range of drivers and passengers for these vehicles.

 

 

We have lots of releases planned for both these ranges so do please keep coming back to see what's new. 

 

 

We also like to hear what you would like to have on your table so let us know what you would like us to produce next. Is there a particular vehicle that would go just perfectly with your game? Is there a range of figures out there crying out for armored support? Let us know and we will see what we can do.  

 

 

New Releases

 

 

WW1 & Interwar

 

After a long delay we have a couple of long awaited additions to our WW1 and Interwar range.

 

First of all there is the Ford AA Canvas Tilt - the version that features so prominently in our logo. No pictures of that yet but they will be along shortly. 

 

What we do have pictures of is our new 1910 Type-B bus. This ubiquitous London bus not only served the Empire's capital for almost two decades but also took her troops to war in flanders. This is a fabulous model and the pictures hardly do it justice but if you are at any of the shows where we are trading, be sure to pop by and take a closer look.

If you buy one of our buses then be sure to check out our resource page where you will find advertising hoardings and bus signs which can be downloaded and printed out as decals.

 

                  

Next up for the IWV range will be military variants of the bus, some more WW1 lorries and more armoured cars.

Rumours abound also of bus crews and something a little more pulpish.

 

 

 

Moderns       

 

After much delay we are now in the process of augmenting our modern range by releasing the first of the vehicles formerly produced by Chieftain Models. We are starting with the CVRts and now have available to by the FV101 Scorpion, FV102 Striker, FV105 Sultan and FV107 Scimitar.

 

 

Looking forward, the Israeli Mutt Jeep will also be available shortly.

 

We will then start on the MBTs and are also looking to expand the ranges even further over the next year.
