the missus got interested in doing up something after she picked up a brush and peimed some of my stuff a while back.. 've looked around and not found anything for a natiivity scene in the 40mm and up range.. she'd said she was wanting to do something historical, not the euro-jesus mini-farm in bethlehem that is the accepted picture in the west. A diorama of a palestine dwelling typical f thse found in the archaeological record.. a wooden structure built out off a bricked off cave.. in which the family wuld live with and husband their animals anyone have any ideas?

There is the limited edition one by Tom Meier, but from your second graph I'm not sure that is what you are looking for exactly. Still they are nice figures. I painted them for my mom a little while back: picture

Prince August has moulds for casting Nativity figures. princeaugust.ie They're 54mm. If, you were interested, maybe, they'd cast you a set?

Magister Militum do some. As for "not the euro-jesus mini-farm in bethlehem that is the accepted picture in the west." can she not just paint them with Middle Eastern skin tones? link

I visited Prince August last year. I seem to recall they had sets of the nativity for sale, but it might have been just the moulds. There used to be an English company that made rubber moulds for chess pieces that also had nativity figures. I bought a selection of them and gave them as a present. The name of the company was "Artcrafts", but I think they are OOB.
