Thanks a million for the links Shay! They look comparable to the old Airfix Multipose in configuration and detail. I might have to pick some of these up.

Cheers.

Here is a view of the battlefield at 3rd Ypres.  Your going to need a lot of mud!!

 

BTW Notice the track extenders fitted to the Mk5 in an attempt to keep it from bogging down!

Shay,

I haven't personally examined the ICM WWI sets, but they do look like they might be a winner. Do you have these sets, and if so what is your opinion of them?

Hi there,

ICM have two Great War figure kits, one British the other German.

Andrea have a very nice charging British figure which comes with two heads, one with a gasmask on.

If you go to the Perth Military site, have a looksy under their news section for Toro models.In the last day or two they have released a 3figure trench dio in 1/35 scale.

Verlinden also have a two figure trench dio which i think was just released.

Warriors also have a couple of W.W.1 figures i believe. 

Aside from what else has been mentioned, some stores might have figures from Tauro.I think the Tauro  has closed shop..they had some very nice Great War figures in a variety of poses.

I'm currently working on a Great War dio myself with a MkIV from Emhar, so i know what the situation is like trying to source figures!

Best of luck,

Shay

For some reason I'm thinking that Eduard used to have a line of Great War figures.  But, I could be wrong, it's happened before and likely will again.

WWI needs
Posted by Darr on Monday, June 4, 2007 5:08 PM

Hello All,

 I'm working on a WWI diorama,

I have a pair of WWI Brit. MKV tanks, but I need figures.

It's in 1/35.

Any ideas?

I may have to scratch build them, I'm having trouble finding any in 1/35 in kit form.

I was looking at british troops, I was wondering about converting some WWII brit. infantry

to WWI, the WWI regular infantry uniforms seem similar to the WWII counterparts.

Any help would be appreciated.
