1/35 scale Uboat figures

[g2tiger]

Guys,

Any one got a few good leads on some 1/35 scale figures for my Robbe? Currently I am using the military figures from Tamiya and acadamy's tanks and infantry sets. And although good I was hoping for better and more accurate figures, perhaps one or two with binoculars and a salty looking captain. I have seen the Accurate Armor figures but they look somewhat stiff and pompus as if they are ready for a parade.

You can try Verlinden (not

You can try Verlinden (not sure if I spelled that right...), I read several of their ads and they have nice German soldier figures, including the ones that come with separate heads and bodies (ouch! ) so you can customize your figures. I'm having a hard time finding close-to-scale figures for my 1/52 U-boat too.

I used Andrea miniatures figures on my boat. There are a few pictures of them on my own members homepage. They are the first three pictures the others have the old crew made from tank crew figures.

Andrea has the best that I have seen, but Nimix and warriors also had some 1/35th u boat crews. Hecker and Goros have 1/35th and 1/48th however I do not know if they are still in business.
