Civilian figures.

[mishmodel]

Just returning to modelling after a long lay off so not sure what is available nowadays, hopefully someone can point me in right direction ?

My daughter wants me to help her build a 2nd world war diorama featuring French fighters so was thinking of doing something with resistance fighters. Is there anything available in civilian figures that could be adapted with weapons etc ? I'm assuming there's nothing available 'out of the box' ?

What scale?   

 

If 1/35th, there are figures that could be adapted,  and quite possibly a dedicated set, Masterbox do a vast range, certainly WW2 era civilians.  

 

Hmm, I just stuck 'resistance' into the Creative site

I know masterbox do other civilian figures.    Other scale would require adapting railway figures most likely.

Many thanks, I'll check those out. See how easy it is when you ask people who know about this stuff.

Esci did a set called Partisans Resistance Group.  Long out of production, but you might find a set secondhand, Ebay, maybe?
