1/16 and upwards figures and busts

Post by Stokesy44 »

Morning Gang

I'm starting to get a hankering for large scale figures but its a market that is completely new to me. I've recently bought a couple of kits from Nuts Planet and Mitches Models, can anyone suggest and other quality manufacturers out there?

My area of interest is military history, from WW2 onwards, not sci-fi or fantasy. I like complete figures but am also interested in busts, provided they have arms and a full torso. My Nuts Planet kit is a 101st Airborne Trooper and he comes with a full torso body, equipment and rifle, that's the kind of thing.

As ever, with thanks and regards in advance.

El Greco miniatures seem to stock a lot of stuff in the UK. I've never actually used them but been tempted so many times... might be worth a look
