Hi

Got an idea for a diorama and collating all the bits and pieces...

Can anyone recommend a manufacturer of of 1:35 scale, modern figures at all?

I have all the other components - but am looking for a set of base figures to use / repose.

Am based in UK - any advice appreciated.
Will start putting together a thread on the build as soon as I get started.

Thanks in advance!

There are literally hundreds of options to choose from. What nation, what time period and what environment? Dragon, Tamiya, Master Box, Trumpeter, Verlinden, CMK, Legends, Alpine, Wee Friends, Blast Models, all make modern figures from many different nations. Many can be found on ebay and at your LHS. If you can be more specific, we might be able to find you some good examples and ideas. Cheers.
