Title: 28mm figures suitable for modern Canadian infantry
Post by: The Dread Pirate GeorgeD on 11 September 2013, 01:23:58 AM: I was wondering if anyone manufactures good quality 28mm figures that are suitable for modern Canadian infantry. Ideally, I would love plastics with a selection of weapons options, but I would settle for metals as well. I want maybe two or three sections to use in modern skirmishes and some zombie/horror games.

Thanks.
Cheers.

Company B make a LAV, but it's not a Canadian one as its missing the 25mm turret. I believe they also make a G-wagen...

For the Leopard IIA6 ( right for Afghanistan) you will have to get a plastic kit.

If someone made modern Canadian plastics, I would be floored...

The four on the left were made by a company called Devil Dog Designs over a decade ago and have been out of production for some time - but they may be some out there somewhere...?

(the other fellow is just a SWAT team member from Rafm that I happened to paint in CADPAT)
