Any modern seated figures in 28mm?
« on: March 14, 2021, 08:26:06 AM »
Hi Chaps,

I was wondering if anyone manufactures a modern seated figure in 28mm? I have a few old Corgi die casts that are begging to have seats put in them.... the models are a little large 1/48 possibly but tolerable.
Thanks for any pointers.
By the way has any manufacturer plans for a modern range in plastic yet?

Empress are always good figures but I need complete legs... the search goes on. I may even have to get the surgical equipment out and cannibalise a few figures...

Empress do a Modern British vehicle crew.

Though I suspect designed for the Airfix 1/48 scale British Operation Herrick range, it works with the larger scale 28mm vehicles.

Here they are with an Empress 1/50 scale Jeep (from their WW2 range).




There are also the Jeep (and M151) crews from their WW2 and Vietnam ranges.

I really want Crooked Dice to do a Minion figure seated, just mentioning it...
