Looking for World War I figures. I found some really good ones at Japanese Armor King. But just wondering if there are any more out there?

Thanks!

Hi Greg,

I too have been looking for some decent WWI figures. Can you post a link to the Japanese Armor King figures?

The only WWI figures I know of are from Emhar. They have some WWI tanks and figures. Not sure on the quality although. Below is the link:

You can find a few at Colorado Minitures (mostly by Andrea IIRC). Here are some for starter:

Armored German
Chevauxleger
English Infantryman
German Machine Gun Team

ICM do a four figure British Infantry set and a similiar German Infantry set.

Hi Greg,
Here's a few that i know of, i'm going through a bit of a W.W.1 period lately!:
ICM have a couple of sets,German and British.The quality of these kits aren't too bad, plastic wise you won't find better.See pics below!
Toro models have various W.W.1 figures,some in a diorama setting.
Andrea have some great figures although in 54mm.
Model Cellar have a range of figures 54mm,1/35 etc. in resin and very nice quality.I have a couple of sets of figures from this co. that i can highly recommend.
A small vignette from
VLS Warrior .
I hope that some of these links might of helped you out.There is quite alot of W.W.I themed figures it's just a matter of having a good look around!
The prices can get pretty steep for resin and white metal figures, but the ICM is great for a kit bash.
Here's a ICM stormtrooper that i converted slightly (still a W.I.P):

Hi John,

I've tried typing in scale-link.com and scalelink.com - and no joy.

Cheers,

Hi

Here ya go

http://www.scalelink.co.uk/acatalog/index.html

Not the most user friendly site but all the info is there , just need to go down through the links.

Alan

Japanese Armor King has some quality items, including the WWI figures. I purchased several last year and they are excellent except for the feet - a bit clumpy looking but with some ground work this problem can be covered easily enough. Check 'em out, nice owner also.
Mike

Hi Alan

cheers

Try the above site.
White Metal, 54mm, and quite a range of options.
Hope this helps a bit.

Hi Keith

Sorry, I can't comment on the quality etc. as I've no experience of their figures. I was looking at their site for other possible items I'd like to buy, so had the link bookmarked.

As it turns out they are not that far from where I live and may well decide to take a look if I buy rather than get the items posted.

They seem to do quite a range, a lot of which appears to be done in the more traditional white metal rather than resin.

Love to get some of the vehicles but a bit to much for me at the moment.

Like your dioramas by the way, thanks for the "how to's" you've put on the site.

Alan

Thanks Alan for the quick reply,

i have a small project i wish to do that requires some WW1 british infantry going over the top, scale line seem to have what i want but i would like to see the quality before i buy, as i don't wish to part with my cash unless its exactly what im looing for.

I'm glad you like my work, and i hope the articles have been of use, i have some more planned but like every thing else its all down to time (or lack off)

have you also taken a moment to take a look at the the bulldogs site here on the kitmaker network, its there for kitmaker members from the UK and IPMS members. Its a good chance to join one of the quickest growing IPMS branches in the UK, meeting up at show and joining in with group builds.

cheers
