MJ Miniatures presents two sets of 3D printed tool clamps for WWI German and US vehicles.
The US set comes with two types of straps while the German one has four different clamps. Note that the wing nuts are turned in different angles within the same type of clamp, for added realism.

See below how they are used.

Tried ordering on their website...no joy...even when 'cart' says there are 2 items. I suppose they are not truly available yet. They will, however, end up in the AM bin.

I tried too. From the home page that announced new items I put German clamps in cart. Then went to the "Shop" column and the Allied clamps and German clamps appeared. I put allied clams in the cart but the German clamps from the home page had disappeared. This time I ordered the German clamps from the "Shop" column, as I had the Allied and both items appeared. Went to PayPal for payment and the company uses that to get the "ship to..." address. No messy filling out forms and coming up with a password. In fact, this was the quickest purchase Ive ever made.

Thanks for the heads up Cliff! I went directly to the 'Shop' tab and ordered both. It was a simple process for me and I would add at least in my case (California) I had free shipping! Best of all no password that I would forget the next time around!! Cheers, Rick

Guys, I WANT the German WW2 clamps, but they are $20 for the sheet and another $10 for shipping. Ouch.

Considering that you get enough clamps, at least from the pictures, to easily do 5 or more vehicles, the price seems pretty reasonable compared to what you pay for the Shapeways set(s) or Aber sets of PE ones.

I was just thinking about Aber and what I call "metal origami" when working with their otherwise-excellent PE products. If only to save my limited eyesight I'm in on these. I guess just order lots to reduce the S&H charges to a more reasonable level?

Those look great! I've had very good luck using Shapeways stuff, but this looks like that market might have just had the bar raised.

Ordered a set of the US and German clamps from Historex on Sat, the 7th of March.

Got both sets in this day! They are as advertised...exquisite, and finely tuned detailing, and will complete many a kit that needs them. Purchased from Historex.
