Does any one know of a store that sells random 1:18 scale accessories and weapons for Joe-type military vehicles?
I am trying to "up armor" some of what I consider the "under-armed" vehicles like the Vamp and even the HISS by adding the main gun here and there. For example, I want to place a turret and cannon on the Hiss, or I want to convert the "Desert Humvee" I found at Big Lots into an "Avenger Humvee" variant. |

Not really.
I've seen certain 1:16 guns used to great effect on Joe vehicles. Impact Armor Roadblock's M134 would probably work great on a vehicle. |

Try discount stores like Ross and Big Lots, sometimes they have random generic 1:18 army stuff

Seconding Big Lots, you never know what you'll find there. Also try rip off Joe vehicles, sometimes they have great guns.

Could you modify some of the big spring loaded weapons from the ROC figures?

With a little modification, Marauder John's minigun can be equipped as a fixed weapon (good for the nose or underside of an aircraft). Turrets are a little more complicated. I've asked MJ about mountable weapons, but I image that's a lot of cost and engieering for a one-man operation.
And as much as I hate to give them a plug, there's a Seal vehicle at Smalljoes on clearance that has two mounted machinegun turrets that can be easily cannibalized while leaving the jeep drivable (albeit defenseless). |

Check thrift stores in your area, you never know what you may find! I have found many useful generic weapons/vehicle parts at thrift stores in the past, hell a few times i have even found Joe or TF parts that worked well.

Did not know about marauderinc.com before. Checked out their site and it's incredible. Now I can get in-scale uniform weapons for my Joe/Cobra armies without having to worry about Hasbro's packaging warping gun barrels, stocks, etc.
Too bad there is not a similar store for vehicle/armor weapons. I checked out Small Joes as well, I like the anti-tank Tow laucher on the BBI Humvee; might just get it and scrap my own Humvee. Thanks to everyone for all the heads up. Last edited by laurenluna1977; 09-02-2009 at 07:16 PM.. |

BBI Weapon Packs. They have one with a Mk19 Auto Grenade launcher & another with the trial version that fires both .50cal ammo & K19 grenade rounds.
Failing that check MarauderJohn for his M60s & SAWs. |
