Civilians?

[Rabbitz]

Westwind in the UK used to sell superfigs so maybe you got them from there?

I have bought a lot of figures from Westwind, so that's almost certainly where I got them from. Thanks

These are the ones that I bought, I am pretty sure they are the same as the Docs...

Just add a few blobs of greenstuff here and there for shoulder/knee pads and they should be just fine.
The painting is crap but nothing that a quick once over and a wash would not fix.
 

I just ordered a bag of 50 models, which should be plenty for my needs and more importantly it means I'm just under the customs limit

I like the idea of a little greenstuff work, they could possible be turned into superheroes or thugs with a little creativity. I'm thinking that masks and balaclavas can hide the semi blank faces.

They do work well. If you go for numbers, you really don’t have to do much to them IMHO....

That is a great shot, Andy.
It really does emphasise what can be easily achieved with a little effort.
 

You should be getting paid by the Department of Chinese Export for your sterling advertisement.

Those Dr. Zombie, Railroad figures do look nice.

I like the more modern look to them.

Are they 1/48th scale?

Would love to see something similar, in 25mm (yes, old school minis), and 28mm, for Sci-Fi/Ultramodern/Modern periods.

Are there plastic miniatures available in these scales, for civilians, at low cost?

[Ultravanillasmurf]

The only 28mm civilians I know of in plastic are the ex Wargames Factory now Warlord Survivors.

I just came here to pitch my train layout people. But others have gotten in before me.

I guess you can get trainpeople in all the commonly used train scales.

I have been pimping your train people already:

Hope you don't mind.....but they are rather good.

Thanks for this thread and links folks!  My next project for my Mech Attack city is to add civilians.  I've got a good amount of generic looking heroclix but I want to fill a city that's roughly 8x8, so I'm going to need more.

For those in the states, I found the same lots (for notably less money) on ebay by just searching for the exact same item title. 

As for superheroes and thugs, I've found that old heroclix are so cheap that I'm not even sure it's worth the effort to convert the railroad cheapies.

If you are looking for rioters check out the nanomei faction from Anvil 8 Games.  http://www.anvil-eight.com/nanomei

Anvil Eight also have a few other more civilian sorts, for example the rather spiffy Agent: http://www.anvil-eight.com/product-page/the-agent

IIRC they are scaled at the higher end of the spectrum as well, about 32mm.

In Europe you can get the superfigs civilians from Old Glory UK on request. He imports from the US every few months. Good service.

It belatedly occurred to me that I actually have taken a size comparison pic of an Aetherium miniature and a 2nd Ed Space Marine:

Looking at that it seem the humans in the line'd be rather close to 32mm to the eye.
