Where do I buy figures of normal people (non-military)?

blankenship;

You could try PRIESER figures. They are available in various scales, however you do have to "clothe" them. OSPREY covers how to do this in their modelling manual series. Or you could convert the Verlinden, Jaguar or other available figures.

Actually if I remember right Verlinden makes a figure that looks quite close to POIROT all you would be required to do is paint or add a moustache.

Hope this helps

Go to http://www.redlancers.com and do a search for civilians.
For the specific period, you will be hard pressed to find much. Most 1/35 civilians will be 1930-40's vintage.
Going to O scale, 1/48, you might find some of this period in a railroad hobby store.

1/35 or 1/16.

Are you inquiring about 1/35 figures?
