Source for 1:32/54mm British moderns?
« on: 27 February 2015, 01:39:21 PM »
As the title says, I'm looking for large-scale British squaddies - prefereably in plastic. I'm interested in running the movie "Dog Soldiers" as a skirmish event at an upcoming con, and, as they say, "Go big, or go home." :D
from Mr.Vampire: "It's the paintjob that makes the miniature fight harder not the size."

If you're happy with SLRs rather than SA80s, have you considered Call To Arms? Check out www.models2u.co.uk, they should have quite a few bits and bobs for you.

You can still pick up the old Airfix set on E Bay if you look carefully, it crops up fairly regularly.
They will not force us,
They will stop degrading us,
They will not control us,
We will be victorious!!

The Airfix Helmand stuff is 1:48. not sure if that's big enough. There are a few soldiers for it, but they may only be available as part of a set.

edit - sorry, just re-read the title and saw 54mm mentioned

1991 vintage done by Dragon/Italeri in 1/35th.  I think you might need to go to ebay for them these days but prices and not at the 'collectible' level
