Title: 1:40 scale figures
Post by: Eddy Matthews on June 10, 2008, 08:40:12 pm
Does anyone know where I can get 1:40 scale figures? Preferably in civilian dress of 1930's to 1950's style....

1:32 is too big, and 1:43 or 1:48 are too small......

Any sensible suggestions would be appreciated

Try George Turner - figures with a bit of character.

Web-site is www.georgeturnermodels.com

Thanks Pete, that at least gives me a start, but sadly his range of 1:40 scale figures is limited.... Does anyone know of any others?

Regards
Eddy

You could be in a bit of trouble with 1:40 scale Eddy, I have 4 boats at that scale and I ended up going to Toys r Us and buying soldiers and converting them into sailors.

There is not many people who do 1:40 scale.

I realise that Richard, that's why I thought I'd ask on here..... You never know, there may just be some somewhere? ;)
