I would start with Splintered Light’s spacer crew:
http://www.splinteredlightminis.com/1518mmscifi.html
Or start with GZG’s Free Trader crew:

https://shop.groundzerogames.co.uk/15mm-stargrunt/infantry/human-characters-and-misc-aliens/sg15-x04b.html
Then sprinkle in any number of figures from these other companies:

PS. By the way, if any of you need to add Asian (mostly Chinese) signs and graffiti to your shacks and buildings, check out the signs and other visual ideas offered here:

Addendum
Pico Armor has added this group, called “Los Bravos”:
https://www.picoarmor.com/product/sf-1536-los-bravos/
They could easily pass for Space Pirates, if you ask me. :)
They remind me of the Pirates of Ersatz:

Update …
I’m about to place an order for these terrain kits, which might work well enough for the spiffy inner/core planets. Might help emphasize the “Sino” in the Firefly/Serenity “Sino-American” Union of Allied Planets:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/222969054528
https://www.ebay.com/itm/352348439806
I’m not sure how long delivery takes, but I’m excited to get them painted when they arrive.

It would be worthwhile to check out various manufacturers of Wild West and Colonial ranges for civilians, Boxers, Boers etc. They were what I used for my game ‘back in the day’. Good luck with your search!

Could "Peter Pig" WWII French Resistance fill in for some roll or another? I have plans to use them in Pulp Games as Merchant Sailors on steamer cargo ships.

Thanks for the links Dan,
Just got the vibe to build a Saloon for a fireflyesque wild west
Scenario...
Now I wonder what's the chinese for Saloon. ;)

Apart from what’s already mentioned by yourself I’d also recommend Peter Pig Western and a few of their other ranges as suggested by War Monkey as Firefly is pretty low tech compared to a lot of sci-fi and there’s a mass of brilliant models hidden away in a couple of the ranges. My experience with Oddzial Osmy (Pico Armour) is that they’re a little chunky and large (also made from adamantium or some other mystically hard alloy) - nice enough sculpts but looked odd next to my PP and GZG minis.

Thanks for the info Dan and the links..... wow loads of stuff there ... I had to stop myself getting totally side tracked .....
Lots of inspiration.....
Now what if I can mix Firefly with Cyberpunk .... ??? Interesting.

Side Tracked lol "Z" Your to funny! I have so many side tracks it's like a train yard constantly moving box cars around and around. It a miracle if any of my trains leave the station! ;D
-
War Monkey, you ain’t kidding’! Z is the master side tracker for sure. Lol.
Z, a “cyberpunk” mix for some of the planets makes perfect sense to me. I plan to make my “Firefly” world be a little more comprehensive … I’m adding bots:
http://theminiaturespage.com/boards/msg.mv?id=337107
It’s going to look a bit like a mixture of “Firefly” and the 2012 “Total Recall” remake:

Also, I just came across these listings, which might help with spicing up terrain in the “inner planets”:

Cyberpunk Firefly!? Hummm Dark Star Games have a android Geisha. Eureka USA/AU has a human Geisha I think under Samaria stuff. Rebel Mini has in the Pulp section a Chinese boss kind of guy. Doctor Merkury over on DriveThru RPG has 15mm Cyberpunk buildings plus a whole lot more in STL files. Really cheap too.
Add a mix of Peter Pig Vietnam Civilians, plus he has heads for head swaps with Coolie hats, but than again he has lots of heads you can swap with!
I am sure there are other Companies that may produce Vietnam Civilians, However with everything being a mix you can mix other civilian cultures into the fray. There are a lot of figures one can use for folks that have been cyber jacked.

Cyberpunk Firefly? Not a very far fetched idea, really:

I bought some of these Essex Korean Monks, with spears, which could be converted to staves, pain sticks or something else. Coolie hats might do the trick:

PS. I recall that, in Episode 01, Eavesdown Docks had some “triad” characters doing the rounds. :)

GZG has their version of the M.U.L.E.
