hello all,

Ive recently somehow found myself in a small addiction when it comes to the collecting of 1/35 scale WWII plastic miniatures. Ive been buying everyhting I can get my hands on that my local hobby stores carry.

I will admit that I have sort of been buying aimlessly but now am ready to start buying with more of a purpose. At this point my goal is to create a diorama on a 4x8 sheet of plywood.

Im glad to have found this site with others like myself posting in forums.

One of the biggest questions is where is the best place to buy from? I would like to find a one stop shopping site on the internet. If anyone could maybe point me in the direction of some favorite shopping sites of yours It would be greatly appreciated.

Also I am searching for unique miniatures like german snipers and other snipers are there companys that make these styles?

Thx for the help and nice to meet you all!

Being from the UK i buy from Netmerchants(www.netmerchants.co.uk) And Hannants(www.hannants.co.uk)
But if you have a look at the adverts on the page, you'll find many good online stores.

hey thx for the quick reply!
