Hey

I'm designing a new action Dio and I'm having trouble finding late war US soldiers in combat poses. I've got plenty of germans in combat/action poses but can't find many US soldiers. I don't know the first thing about scratch building figures so I'd prefer something that needs little or no alterations. Can anyone suggest a particular brand or figures?

Thanks.

The critical thing is time period. WW2, OIF, Army, Marines or ODS, to name a few. Dragon has some to fit the bill and certain Warriors look good. I stock up on interesting figures when I see them so I'll have them on hand when needed.

Gday fellow Mexican!
Try doing a search for warriors as I know they have some high quality winter dress GIs like WA35059 and WA35060...
Go to http://www.usarmymodels.com/kitsandreviews.html
where there is a list of most all available US figures from manufacturers...
Good luck!
Cheers
Brad

If it still helps Platoon also makes some late-war figures in action poses. I believe Tim Streeter's website which you were directed to has a review of them.
