Here's one for you all. Have you ever had a model years ago that now you's like to do in a bigger scale? I want to. So what my question is how can I do the Airfix 1/72nd WW1 Royal Horse Artillery in 1/35th?
I really don't want to spoil my idea by going into great depth as I'd like to show it when complete...
Any thoughts most welcome.
Love Fiona X X X

I reckon that kitbashing is the answer to this. Though it would be quite expensive. Maybe, if you can find one, a WWI British artillery crew, replaced with WWI legs (Puttees). I am not aware of any 13pdrs in the 1:35 market, but I imagine, with the right wheels off another kit, and a plasticard sheild would do. As for the barrel it would maybe be possible to use alloy tubing from model shops. As for the limber, I can only reccomend, from the small stock of horses in 1:35, using two, maybe even three, field kitchens, with plasticard reigns.
I hope that helps.
