PETER PIG
The modern figures are marketed under the name of their African wars rules, "Range 17: AK-47 Republic". Useful for playing modern "small wars" and insurgencies but plenty of regulars too. Focus is infantry but some vehicles are available, especially those found in African and Middle Eastern insurgencies and civil wars. Lots of colorful figures available such as news crews and some civilians. Also available in the US from Brookhurst Hobbies. The newest infantry tend towards the "large" end of the scale and are chunky. Some of the older sculpts tend to be smaller and truer 15s.

GROUND ZERO GAMES
GZG's product line includes 15mm sci-fi vehicles that work for modern/near future gaming. Mobility options include wheeled, tracked, and hovercraft as well as standard sci-fi fare such as walkers and grav vehicles. Weapons range from MGs and autocannons to ATGMs, tank guns, and even mobile arty. Even the infantry can work for modern/near future gaming as body armor becomes more common and more complete in the real world. The vast majority of this collection look very much like vehicles on today's battlefields or in development, especially GZG's wheeled APCs.

Thanks Pedro! I've updated the original post with the higher level links to your suggestions. If you have any personal experience with service and figure quality from these companies please post and I'll add to the descriptions in the OP. Thanks again!!!

Updated to include GZG. Theirs is technically a scfi-fi product line but the vehicles look like those currently on battlefields around the world or in development and due for combat the coming years. They work extremely well for modern/near-future gaming. We find them useful since, not being associated with a current, specific country, we can use them with any of our troops. We're especially fond of their wheeled AFVs. GZG service is also extremely professional and fast. Even shipments to he US are so quick we believe they've built a worm hole between the continents!
