Hi
I am making a av diorama in 1/35 scale and require a duck or pig to put in it. At one time Tamiya use to make a set called Barnyard amimals, but I think it's out of production. I have tried local and web hobby shops and ebay but have come up empty. The Tamiya figures wold work out the best. As a second choice I've been thinking about model raiload figures, but not sure what scale to look for. Any suggestions would be helpful as the pig or duck is the theme for my dio.
Thanks
Mike

Take a look in a toy store, thereare many 1/32nd scale animals out there in plastic by various manufacturers, Britains used to (probably still do) made a huge range of plastic farmyard animals, and they were damn good too.....Jim

Another source for animals is toy stores such as Learning Express and Science Safari. They have a range of animals in different sizes usually cheap too.

Howdy Mike: Definately go to your local toy store. I used a 20 cent donkey from a toy store in a dio last winter, and people told me it was the best looking thing in it, HAHA. Check out the link to my gallery to check it out, most of the animals toy stores stock, seem to fit in 1/35 dios. For the price of the tamyia set you can get a whole barnyard of animals.

Mike:
I also have a set of the Tamiya farm animals. I only used the German sheperd out of it, so there is still a goose, pigs, chickens/baby chicks, and a donkey left. If you want I could donate a couple of them to you. Let me know what you need, and pm me your address.
