Not a lot of landing craft, you mean? That is very simple: they’re so bloody BIG! That LCM (1) is about the smallest type that can carry a decent-sized vehicle, and even then you could put almost four Churchills in the space it would take up on your shelf. Never mind an LCT (2), that was — off the top of my head — about 42 or 44 metres long, making it 120 or 125 cm in 1:35, three times the length of the LCM (1).
But if you like to fantasise about models of them in 1:35, check out ONI 226: Allied Landing Craft and Ships to work out which one might fit on your next diorama (Me, I’d like an LCR, purely out of local interest, of course, but I don’t exactly feel like building one )
If you’re interested in the LCM 1, I took a long look at it a couple of years ago and collected a number of references off the net I’d be happy to share. I also had the original production drawings in the British National Maritime Museum digitized, so they should be available and I can probably find the links to the plans. There’s a lot of variety in the detail of these craft and they turn up in almost every theatre of the war. PM me if you’re thinking of trying a build.
I’ve seen , maybe in the old forum, how someone did build an LST with Churchill’s on it in 1/35. Talk about a burden of love right there. That must of taken years to accomplish. I think with the advent of readily accessible 3D printers we could see more of these kits and ships that were once dreams to become reality.
I did see on a Facebook group where someone built the ramp and just a small part of the hull of a German landing craft for an invasion of Malta diorama.
I could maybe see myself trying to scale down and do a forced perspective diorama of maybe the ramp down and a tank coming off.
