Well, we DO sometimes sell individual bits if people ask us very
nicely.....  ;-)

Would people be interested if we listed a pack or two of assorted 6mm
turrets and bits in the range?
Such packs would probably consist of a random assortment of  various
turrets/weapon mounts from the DSM range vehicles, to do mix/match and
convert other miniatures. Let me know quickly if yes, and I'll squeeze
them
into the new catalogue.....
