Dragoman's Depot

Designs by Dragoman
This shop is a side effect of my wargaming hobby, mostly playing with historical minatures. Whenever I cannot find a suitable miniature among commercial makers, I design it for 3D-Printing. If I think it may interest others, too, I put it on the shop.

Are you interested in 6mm scale (1/285 or 1/300) miniatures of historical aircraft, vehicles or buildings? Look at these shops, too:
Objects may appear - Tiny Thingamajigs - Arctic Skunk - Brigade Models - Prairie Hawk Gamers - Masters of Military - Kampfflieger models - Panzergrey (1/350) - Luke Ueda Sarson - Reduced Aircraft Factory - Fen Edge Wargaming

I am still working on this model. I expect it to be ready in June

The K1A1 tank is the standard battle tank of the South Korean Army. It's design is derived from the US M1 tank, but it uses a Diesel engine instead of the thirsty gas turbine of the M1. It also has an advanced suspension to cope with the hilly terrain of Korea.

This item consists of 4 tank models on a sprue. Fine parts cannot be 3D-printed, so the machine guns on the turret are not included.

The Potez 540 was a French bomber of the 1930's. Its first flight was in November 1933.

It saw service in the Spanish Civil, where it was used by the Republican side.
At the beginning of WWII it was obsolete, though the Potez 542 version continued to serve in the French Colonies and saw action in the short conflict between Thailand and Vichy France (December 1940-January 1941) over territories in Indochina.
Wikipedia has more information on the original.

The model is designed with "Detail" materials in mind, especially "Transparent Detail" which gives a nice effect for the large windows and turrets. Some detail is lost with WSF.
The model is not painted, buyers may want to add propeller disks from clear plastic. The airplane is shown in flying configuration, with landing gear up. Note that the cockpit and the nose in front of it are asymmetric. This is a feature of the original, not a flaw in the model.

The De Havilland DH89 Dragon Rapide was a passenger and transport aircraft built in the 1930's. The DH89 and its variants proved popular with air forces and civil air lines all over the world and over 700 were built. They continued to fly in WWII and beyond, for example with the Israeli Air Force. Some are still airworthy today.

A famous instance of its use was in 1936 when a Dragon Rapide chartered from a British airline brought General Franco from his exile in the Canary Islands to Spanish Morocco to lead the Nationalist forces in the Spanish Civil War. Several Dragon Rapides were also used by both sides' air forces in that war.

The Nieuport-Delage 52 was a French fighter developed in the late 1920's.
It was built by CASA in Spain under licence and was the standard fighter of the Spanish Air force in the early 1930's. By 1936, it was obsolete and Spain was shopping around for a successor. However, when the Spanish Civil War erupted, it was still the most numerous fighter around and saw action by both sides in the early months of the war.

This item consists of 4 models on a sprue.

The PWS-10 was the first fighter plane designed and produced in Poland. Its first flight was in 1930

After the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War, the Nationalist forces bought 20 planes that were smuggled in via Portugal. After a few month of active service more modern German and Italian fighters became available and the PWS-10 was relegated to training duties.

In Poland in 1939, it also served only in training units, but it did see some action when Germany invaded.

The Heinkel He 50 was a dive-bomber used by the German Luftwaffe in the 1930's, By WWII, it was obsolete, though still used in secondary roles, for example as a night ground-attack plane. Some were exported to China and fought against the Japanese, whose navy air force used the very similar Aichi D1.

The Gloster Gauntlet was a British biplane fighter used by the Royal Air Force in the early 1930's. It was the precursor of the Gloster Gladiator.

By the beginning of WWII, it was quite obsolete. However, it saw some action with the RAF in the Middle East and with other air forces, notably in Finland, where one actually survives in flying condition.

The Focke-Wulf 187 was a twin-engined fighter developed in Germany before WWII. Its first flight was in 1937. For its time, it had outstanding performance, with a speed 80 Km/h faster than the Messerschmitt Bf109B as well as twice its range and better climb performance. However, in spite of this performance it did not fit into the tactical concept of the Luftwaffe and only a small series was built that was used for various tests and in a local defence squadron guarding the Focke-Wulf factory in Bremen

For more information on the real.life prototype see Wikipedia
This model consists of a sprue with two airplanes. A model of a single airplane is available here

Between the World Wars, many countries, even quite small ones, had their own aviation industry. In the Baltic state of Latvia, the most modern project was the Irbitis I-16 fighter. Only a few prototypes had been built when the Soviet Union occupied the country.

Wikipedia has more information. The Latvian Wikipedia entry is especially detailed - in case you are not fluent in Latvian ;-) the Google translation is quite readable.

Interestingly, it looks very much like the fictional enemy fighter in an early scene of the 1936 Science Fiction film "Things to Come".

The Autogiro was an early type of helicopter. In the 1930's aircraft manufacturers in various countries experimented with this type of machine. One of the most advanced types was the Kamov A-7 from the Soviet Union. Only a few were built, but these were successsfully tested in the 1939 "Winter War" against Finland and saw action in 1941 when Germany attacked the Soviet Union. However,the Russians had more pressing needs and it was found that most tasks could be done with conventional light arplanes that were simpler to produce.

The model consists of two models on a sprue. Buyers will have to add rotors and crew. The models come unpainted.

In the 1930's the Soviet Union had an intensive research program exploring the use of rockets for military use. Its most famous product was the Katyusha salvo rocket launcher (aka. the "Stalin Organ"). A less well known item was the BI-1 rocket fighter (first flight was in May 1942), which rivalled the German Messerschmitt Me 163 "Komet". However, only a small test series was built. In WWII, the Soviet Air force had more pressing needs than a point-defence interceptor against strategic bombers.

Ettore Bugatti is famous for his luxury sports cars. But he also designed aero engines and the aircraft to go with them.
His most advanced design was the Bugatti 100 P, a racing aircraft designed to beat the world speed record. It was ready in 1940, but could not be tested before the German invasion. Miraculously, the prototype survived WWII hidden in a barn. It is now in a museum in the USA.

The French Air Force was impressed by the expected performance and ordered a fighter version, the Bugatti 110 P, which was never built.

The B-24 Liberator was, together with the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress, one of the mainstays of the US strategic bombing campaign in the Second World War

We play our WWII air war games with 1/300 scale models. But we found that at that scale, four-engined bombers are too large and metal models of them make the gaming bases top-heavy and prone to falling over. 1/400 scale in plastic is a good alternative.

This model consists of a sprue with 4 aircraft. It is also available as a single aircraft here. The models are unpainted.

An array of antitank obstacles made of crossed steel girders. This type of tank trap was first used in the 1930's in Czechoslovakia for their frontier fortifications. Hence their nickname "Czech Hedgehog". Easy to make and set up, they became a common feature of WWII battlefields from the gates of Moscow to the beaches of Normandy.

This item consists of an array of 12 * 6 obstacles, which can be cut apart and arranged to suit your game setup. In a 2-deep strip, they can cover a 30 cm front.

The Tiger tanks in the photographs are not included. They are GHQ models.

The half-track Sd.Kfz.7 was the standard tractor used by the German Wehrmacht in WWII to tow medium artillery pieces, including the 88 mm FLAK anti-aircraft gun. The standard vehicle was unarmoured, but a small number were converted with armour plate to allow it to move guns right up to the front line. This type was built before the war and mainly used in the early years of the war, especially during in the campaign against France.

This item consists of five models on a sprue.

The Sd.Kfz 247 B was an armoured staff car designed to allow German commanders to operate close to the front line. It was based on the same chassis as the Sd.Kfz 222/223/224 series of armoured cars. Only a rather small number of them were built for the Wehrmacht. In practice, commanders preferred normal armoured vehicles - half tracks or tanks - for the purpose.

The DAF M39 was a pantserwagen ( armored car) used by the Dutch army before WWII. For its time it was quite an advanced design, for example it had a rear driver's seat.

After Germany invaded the Netherlands, the surviving vehicles were used by the Wehrmacht, for example in the invasion of the Soviet Union. In the Wehrmacht, it was known as DAF 201(h).

The Saurer RR-7 was built as an artillery tractor for the Austrian army. After Germany occupied Austria, the design was adapted as Sd.Kfz 254 and used as an armoured artillery observation vehicle for the panzer dvisions. It was used both on the Eastern Front and with the Afrika Korps.

A novel feature was the chassis which had wheels and tracks and could be converted between either mode. This allowed to combine high road speeds and good cross-country performance.

The machine to win the First World War - built in 1941 !

If you are into Steampunk games, here is an opportunity to deploy a landship that was actually built.

Variously code-named as "White Rabbit No.6", "Cultivator No.6", "Naval Land Equipment" (NLE, "Nellie"), it was built on the insistence of Winston Churchill himself, designed to plow towards enemy positions, creating a trench wide enough for troops and vehicles to march through.

This is a model of a traditional North German farmhouse. These are large reed-thatched buildings combining living quarters, stable and barn. Building of this type were used since the Late Middle Ages and could equally well be used for any time after that, including the Napoleonic period or for a wargame with Warsaw Pact tanks rolling cross the North German plain.

Red brick houses with white timbers are typical of the coastal regions of Germany

The Fiat G91 was a light tactical support jet fighter flown by the Italian, Portuguese and West German airforces in the 1960's and 1970's

The model is designed for the "Detail" type material. "Transparent Detail" gives a nice effect for the cockpit.

The miniature looks somewhat rough in "White strong & flexible" , as you can see in this review at the "Microarmor Mayhem" site.

In the 1960's NATO sought to make its air forces immune to surprise strikes by deploying aircraft able to take-off and land vertically from small landing sites hidden in the countryside. Developing the aircraft for this strategy proved quite difficult and only the British Harrier actually saw air force service.

The West Gernan Dornier Do 31 was designed, built and tested as a transport aircraft to support this strategy. It did work, but was found to be too expensive and to lack range and payload, so it never entered service. To this days, it remains the only VTOL jet transport aircraft ever built.

Wikipedia has more information about the original.

This model is shown in flying configuration. The Do 31 is also available on the ground, landing gear down, rear ramp open.

When West Germany rearmed in the 1950's the Bundeswehr based its armament on the German experience in WWII. It wanted a fully armored fighting vehicle (Schützenpanzer) for its infantry. The result was the HS30 IFV introduced in 1958.
It proved to be a poor design. Throughout its career, it suffered from technical troubles and by 1965, with the introduction of the Leopard tank, it also became tactically obsolete, because it was too slow to follow the Leopard cross-country. In 1971, the much better Marder IFV was introduced, though various versions of HS30 continued in service until 1981.
