I am embarking on a dificult project I fear. I would like to do a diorama showing Irish irregulars during the Tan War (Anglo-Irish War or Irish War of Independence). Any ideas on where I can get figures? Basically I need men in either civilian clothing or men in lat WW1 unis I can mess with.
Thanks!
Mike

Very interesting Project and one I'm going to tackle myself in the new year with the Resicast Rolls Royce Armoured Car. I used a converted Mk35 figure for my entry for the Tommy Gun Terror Campaign.
Some of the MK35 and Nemrod French resistance figures might work. What references are you using?

Thanks for the info. I am using a bunch of books I have on the IRA and Mick Colins. A few contemporary fils have also been some inspiration.

Hi Mike,
I think ICM have some WW1 British figures which may be of help to you.
