I need to find some world war one infantry and some sort of vehicle. I only know of a few companies that make WW1 stuff. The figures I have found are not very good. I don't know much about the resin market so I need some help finding this stuff!

Thanks all!

First off, how about a topic name that actually reflects what you are looking for or want to know. Something like, "Looking for WWI figures and vehicle." "Where is it?" is not a good topic as most people will overlook it and it does not lend well to future searches for WWI threads. The Figure Forum would probably be a better place to post this as well. Those guys know their figures and where to get them.

To give you some leads...Verlinden, Warriors, and ICM have some WWI figures. Many of the other resin companies have a few as well. Check out Colorado Miniatures for a good selection of figures from all time periods.

Emhar has some WWI tanks that are pretty good too.

Good luck.

Thanks for the reply. I have posted before with more to the point titles... I feel they were overlooked more! At the Colorado site I found what I needed though!

Much thanks,

I don't know about that. This one only got one post and I only saw it because I acidentally clicked on it. I meant to click on the post above it. So you just got lucky this time.

Glad to help, Mike. Also if you get the chance check out Osprey Masterclass Advanced Terrain Modelling. It has a 35-page step-by-step on building a WWI diorama with trenches. HIGHLY recommended!!

I would STRONGLY recommend you not buy any EMHAR WW1 figures. They are awful. THey are the same figures for the 1/72 releases, just scaled-up. The arms are molded together with gun with a large block of plastic connecting them to the body. They actually look worse than plastic grenn army men. rant over
