I normally do aircraft but want to do some small civil war dioramas. Maybe a cannon with accompanying men, maybe a cavalry patrol. Who is the best manufacturer of figures, what scale and who has the best accessories, cannon, horses, that sort of thing. I am looking for variety in figures and not 50 that have the same pose. I am also not talented enough my self to shape or make things from scratch. I want to buy figures, paint them accurately, and place in a unique setting.
If you were to ask me about WWII aircraft, I would say Tamiya hands down. How about civil war figures from you guys? I need help selecting.
