MoriyaSchism Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 I saw these Sentinel and Chimera conversions using brass parts from scale model kits of real life vehicles years ago. Can anyone help me identify these parts? I'm also looking for machine gun parts (M2 Browning and the like) of a size suitable to serve as heavy stubbers. If anyone has any experience with scale models I would appreciate your help.

Bung Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 The problem is, GW Vehicles dont have a consisting scale with some stuff. You need to look into a scale range 1:32 / 1:36 and 1:48 for parts that may fit GW Models.

Brother Tyler Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 I'm not sure how many of our members may be able to assist you in this (I know that I can't ), but you might also check out sites like Fine Scale Modeler (https://finescale.com/).

Solution Firedrake Cordova Posted June 2 Solution Share Posted June 2 Super-Hobby (Polish modelling shop) stock a bunch of brass upgrades for plastic kits - going through them might give an idea of manufacturers..?

I think I found the exact brand thanks to this. It's a company called Master Model and they have a range of parts called Ground Master.

I know, i have you the scalerange a friend used for his 40k conversions. It really depends on the part and 40k model.
