Hi guys,after reading Karl's thread over the situation of the Allied figures representation in our hobby i would like to start a thread to help myself and other people out in sourcing the various Allied figures that are out there.
So,post any links here to manufacturers,known,unknown,big or small!(This would also include Resistance fighters BTW)
This could be a great reference guide in the future if enough people participate..maybe some of the Axis boys could help us out too,save us complaining again!
Cheers,Shay

Hi Shey,

These are the manufactures I'm aware off for British 1/35 troops:

Plastic Injection

Dragon 4 sets
Tamiya 1 set
Master Box 1set
ICM for WW1

Resin

Great North Roads
Resicast
Ultracast
Accurate Armiour
Cromwell Models
Warriors
Alpine Minitures
Hornet and Wolf
Verlinden
Legends I think have some
Plus Model
CMK
Nemrod
Pegaso
Dog Tag - White Metal

You can also use the 1/32 Airfix sets although the weapons and kit are much too big and need changed, so some of the 54mm stuff might also be useable as height isn't really a problem.

I'm sure there are others who make one or two resin figures but I can't remember any more at the moment.

Hope this helps a bit.

Cheers

Al

Hi Derek,

Apologies, forgot about them - added to the list.

Shay,

Tim Streeter has already done most of the work on his website.

Shay -

Might want to add 'Firestorm' to your list as they make some excellent figures, primarily "Aussies" but British also. Also there is 'Doug's Originals' with a couple British figures. And maybe 'Doug's' animals could be "Allies" also? :-)

Master Box has posted three Allied releases which all seem interesting. Unfortunately they haven't released any photos yet. I wonder if any of the fine Armorama staff might be able to get us some exclusive images ;-)

Mike

Do you have a web address or details for Doug's Originals? I can't find anything on the web and I'm wanting some animals!

Cheers

Matt

Gday Matt
Go to www.firestormmodels.com/
They have the Doug's originals figures (and animals) on board, and they look a treat...

Thanks Brad, excellent stuff

When you say ally, you mean all allies, Russian included ?
If it's the case, you can add Miniart which has really good Russian troops kit.
Hobby Fan does nice allied figures.
Esci also, but harder to find.
Yank Miniatures has nice US troops.

For the French troops, you have blast model who does some nice early war tankers, and REDUX 1/35 also.

On the specifics, for those doing U.S. Paras, the best, without doubt are Nemrod....

I agree with you Jim, Nemrod have some excellent pairs of paras : bazookas, radio, pathfinders.. If you want the top notch paras, chose the last series of 3 (if you have good painting skill), but if you begin take the oldest pairs, still very good.

I just picked up the latest Fine Scale and there is an advertisement for a company called "INFINITY" and they have American soldiers Pacific theatre. Pretty nice looking figures

Here's an ebay link

They look really cool !!!!
If I'm correct they release also a pair of US DD paras in relaxe poses which seems to be quite good.
Allied stuff exist but you have to be millionar !
Best,
Julien

If you can find them......Tamyia put out the set of 3 Brit tankers and the farmer with cart and wine etc, that came with the Churchill, as a seperate release. Very nice set with all sorts of diorama friendly features, milk cans, clear sprue with wine bottles, goggles and a kerosene lamp, plus the civilian which you can use with all sorts of subjects. Haven't seen them in a while but a very useful set!

Gday Ryan
One of my LHSs has this set, and yep, is is a good one as you say... Especially the lil cart and the clear sprue accessories...

Greetings all,

If you're looking for any good WW1 troops - British, American and German, sorry don't remember seeing any French yet Julian, Japanses Armour King have some really class ones, along with some excellent Japanese troops and vehicles/artillery.
