Who Makes the best 1/72nd WW1 figures

[chippy]

Hi I know this is not a common scale on this site but I want to do a small diorama in which I need some 1/72 WW1 figures . I know there are a few manufactures who make this scale but not what their quality is like as they only show the box art on their sites . So I'm asking does anyone know which is the best for accuracy , less mould flash etc.
Thanks
chippy

Take a look at the releases from Zvezda.

Wasn´t aware that you are after British WWI Tommies - http://www.plasticsoldierreview.com/PeriodList.aspx?period=11#GreatBritain-Infantry

and I agree that it is a loss that Zvezda stopped producing their excellent series of Plastic Soldiers before adding more sets to their WWI series.

Hi Chippy,
Here are a good varied selection of WW1 1/72 scale stuff. Any use? You could have a look at reviews etc to find out the best quality and poses.
cheers

Depending on the purpose, I wouldn't turn my nose up at Airfix, either. I used their 1/72 WW I figures in the past. In large displays, they work well.

Prost!

Thanks for that link Billy , yes there are some very nice figures on that site and if I had not already order some from another source I would have settled on those . I have bookmarked their page as I have one or two ideas for more WW1 dioramas so thanks for the heads up as I had never heard of W D Models .
Thanks chippy

Chippy, i found it easier to email Barry direct with any wants just to check availability rather than rely on his website.

Best wishes

Billy
