Figures

Post by SpudUk » Wed Jul 01, 2015 12:55 pm

Hi Folks,

I'm looking for a driver to fit in the cab of my Leader, so is going to need to be slightly hanging out of one side of the cab. Any ideas?

What's the best produce of scale accurate figures out there? I've always been surprised that 7mm figures are so detailed, but get any larger (16mm/G) and they start becoming caricatures

Looking at Model Town at the moment, but the figures don't seem as detailed as I'd like

I quite like Jon's People. Not sure if he has one hanging out of the cab, though. He doesn't have an online presence but he can be contacted at -

Perfect World figures are also pretty good. You can get them from Trenarren Models
