Need a good selection of WWII US GI figure manufacturers.

Posted by the doog on Monday, September 21, 2009 9:05 AM

Hi Guys,

I'm looking for a good selection of WWII US GI's for a model I"l be working on soon---I"ve already checked out Alpine Miniatures, but haven't found what I need. I need a regular GI, not a tank crewman, who looks to be on guard/suspicious/careful. The meaner looking, the better...anyone got any ideas?

Check out the Nemrod line.

Hey Doog, I've used this website in the past to find some unique resin figures, although the site does take some time to navigate through...

www.coloradominiatures.com

for good WWII figures, try S&T Products, Alpine Miniatures (as you've already mentioned), TANK, and Wolf figures.

Here's one I pulled out of S&T Products that might fit the bill for you...

Things could be worse. Suppose your errors were counted and published every day, like those of a baseball player. Life will always throw you curves, just keep fouling them off... the right pitch will come, but when it does, be prepared to run the bases.

Thanks, guys--I knew I could count on ya's!

I'm sure I'll be able to find what I need in those suggestions! Oleander, that certainly looks like what I'm looking for!

The S & T was a good suggestion, thier figures are excellent and while they have a few that fit the bill, the range is really small. Tank has zero U.S. figures, be nice if they did, Wolf, nearly none.

Doog, when I read the description you gave I thought of these from Verlinden
