You might try Preiser figures from Germany; try the (train) G scale (approx. 1/32 scale) ones.  They have tons of civilians in various poses.  They might be a little pricey, but you can find them sometimes for a really reasonable price on eBay or at a Train shop/LHS. 

I think I've even seen one with a camera, if you wanted to make a little museum-type scene.  Hope this helps!!

Like Stikpusher mentioned, Preiser's has sets of civilians in 1/35 at least 3 different sets.

Some of those Tamiya 1/35 dino kits come with a scientist figure. You can also look at Preiser's and Verlindens line up for non military types. Perhaps Verlinden's 1/35 TV crew?

Go to The Red Lancer and doa search for "civilian." You'll come up with a good number of 1/35 civilians.

1/35 figures of regular (non-military) people?
Posted by echolmberg on Thursday, August 14, 2008 12:48 PM

Hi guys!

I'm going to be working on a Tamiya 1/35 Triceratops for my 5 year old daughter who just LOVES dinosaurs.  She thought it would be so cool to build a diorama along with it.  For kicks and grins, I thought it would be neat to include a person standing next to the dino as a size comparison.  Does anyone know if I can find a regular person in 1/35 scale just in a standing pose?  Do they make anything close to that scale that I could find in a model train shop?  I think it would be kind of weird to have a Triceratops standing right next to a Panzer tank commander.  But I suppose if worse came to worse.....

Thanks!

Eric

PS.  As a side thought....I might have a lot of explaining to do to her future history teacher as to why my daughter thinks the dinosaurs defeated the Nazis in WW2.
