Hi there,
I watched lately the magnificent movie Paths of Glory ( from Kubrick , casting Kirk Douglas, what a team). That gave me the idea to built a diorama of WWI with tanks and infantry. But considering the battleground of that period, I plan to built it using the 1/72 scale, so I could create a no man's land with appropriate size.
I look for WWI infantry at 1/72 but could'n find any. Where should I look?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks everybody.
I will look to all of these. I already did a new research and I think I will be able to find what I need. I plan to build two trenches (one french and one german) facing each other. I might put a shot down plane in the no man's land.
