Hello...

Welcome to the Kirklees Wargames Club blog and forum. We are a small group of table-top wargamers who get together weekly to play games which vary from Ancient/Medieval, through English Civil War, American War of Independence, American Civil War, and all things Napoleonic, plus WW2 to Sci-fi and fantasy, using scale-model armies on purpose-built terrain and scenery. We meet at Beaumont Park Visitors Centre, Beaumont Park Road, Huddersfield HD4 7AY on Monday evenings from 6.15pm. New members (over 18) are always welcome. You can just drop in or contact us on: kirkleeswargamesclub@gmail.com. Facebook: Kirklees Wargames Club and Twitter: @KirkleesWC

20mm British Staghounds

You can find some really quite diverse kits on ebay, and a lot of the makers seem to be Polish for some reason. I've not come across these kits before, but seem very nice indeed.

These Staghound kits are super-detailed, like a miniature Tamiya kit, right down to all the internals like cabin, engine bay, turret interior etc. Most of it went unused cos for wargaming you aim for strength and durability, famous last words.

I broke off the flimsy gun barrel whilst putting the first turret together (with my sausage fingers), so I've had to use a spare cut-down Sherman 75mm gun and mantlet off another kit.

The second Staghound also has a different spare gun barrel and mantlet fitted.

Looking good Guy, you are going to have a fantastic looking force. In case you didnt know Fighting15s (Link on Product link page on here) are selling off the last of their AB mnis 'cheap' There may be some useful bits and pieces there. Rupe
