I'm looking for WWII civilians in 1/72 scale. Could you please recommend a seller?

You might look at pulp civilians. Pretty much the same era.

dwight shrute20 Oct 2018 11:08 a.m. PST

in plastic or metal ?

Model railway suppliers perhaps

Try the Force20 range of metal figures sold by Covert Intervention Games and through The Games Tavern in Virginia. They have a number of packs with different civilian types (dockworkers, explorers, etc…).

I think Elheim Figures (metal) has a couple packs of various civilians.

The OOP Battlefield Miniatures refugee packs (also metal) are nice if you can find them.

Presier make some 1/72 civilians in plastic but most are noticably more modern than WWII era.

Thanks for these.

My pet project has been Finnish Civil War of 1818 and for that you basically need only armed civilians. Converting is always a possibility.

So I'm always on the look for some civilian figures.

- Battlefield Miniatures has refugees (Battlefield) and russian civilians (Blitz). It has been already told.

Armed civilians:

- SHQ has some partisans, volkssturm and resistance.
- Caesar has resistance (plastic).
- Grubby Tanks has very nice partisans (previous Britannia Miniatures).
- East Riding (previous Platoon20) has russian partisans.

I hope it helps.

And I forgot but you have. Bunch in plastic. See plasricsoldier.com…
Half of which cn be decently used, ending with 2 dozens for the price of 6 in metal.

Another option are the Dapol models, designed for model railways. No surprises, these look like they are waiting for a train, but could be (sullenly) watching a parade they don't need:

The railway workers are another option:

My vote is for SGT's Mess!

Rolf Hedges Models/Liberation have some armed civilians for the Irish Wars in their Bandera Miniatures range

Footsore sell the old Musketeer Miniatures (2 packs amongst those on their Interwar webpage). They are excellent.
