Hi guys,

Am just wondering on which figures are good for the Far East. I know of a couple from Firestorm and Warriors..Any others for recommendation?

Basically, would the long sleeves be an issue?

Hi Alex,

You could probably also use the DML set of Commonwealth Troops in Italy with a few minor changes depending upon time period.

Hi Al,

I am looking for Resin figures. Maybe the best bet is with Resicast?

Thanks
Alex

Hi Alex,

Resicast don't have any SEA troops at the moment. Firestorm as you mentioned and a couple of Warrior figures. You could adapt a couple of the Sovereign shirt sleeve figs if it's resin you want, but other than that there aren't many around.

I suggested the DML set as there are several sets of long trousers included.

Cheers

Al

Hi Alex,

I'm working om a small jungle scene too. Sorry I forgot about the Wee Friends chap. Figures I used were the two from Firestorm, the Wee Friends chap and a kneeling guy from Sovereign.
