Hello, I'm new to WWII diorama building and would like some suggestions on which brand of 1/35 soldiers to buy that are already assembled and painted. I'd like some nice ones, but I don't want to break the bank.
Thanks,
JohnT

The only pre-painted figures I know of are by Dragon, of all things, called Can-DO Figures.

The look OK, but I think you should give doing them yourself a try. With some practice, you can get some pretty good looking figures for your dios.

Thanks for your reply. After reading your reply, I looked at the CanDo, and it seems they don't make any US Soldiers.
I may try to paint some later, but right now, I'd better stick with the simple.

You can also look on eBay for people selling built figures. The prices range from reasonable to stupid.
