Hey folks, I understand that Minifigs/GFI ran into trouble some years back, but does anyone know of any good sources for WW2 units in that rough size range these days? |

Pendraken is in that neighborhood at 10mm. |

Oh thanks, Mark. I've been away from the hobby for a few years. How are things going with you and yours? |

Magister militum casts the Perrin range: link There's also Pithead |

Pendraken and Minifigs are good. Arrowhead also. All are based in the UK. Sadly, no US suppliers currently. There are some 1/144th and 1/160th scale plastics available in the USA, though chasing some of those down can be a challenge, and they're primarily armored vehicles. I bought some of the CanDo, Pegasus, and Takara minis back in the day. I fill in where needed with metal vehicles and troops. |

I can 3d print most WW2 vehicles in 1/160 scale.
The last square carries the perrin 10mm line, Pendraken as has been mentioned by others. Minifigs are N scale which is more like 1/144. This is not WW2 but a more modern Unimog but you can see what is possible with 3d printing. 1/160 scale model.

Perrin are the smallest of the bunch, from what I've read, e.g. more like 1/180th scale, I think (don't know for sure, but seem to recall reading that from others). |

Try Lineside Models for true N gauge vehicles:
linesidemodels.com Scroll down to the 2900 series to see their military vehicles but lots of useful stuff in 1/160th. And have some rather interesting kits like an M4A1 with dozer blde. |

Minifigs 12mm still available in UK, part of the Caliver Books empire. My favourite 20WW2 figures in this scale. |

Minifigs and Arrowhead are 1/144th, and scale nicely with the plastic vehicles out there from various sources. |
