I'm short a few fellas for my US Infantry company and I don't want another box. Hate painting the bastards, so I'm wondering if any online retailers sell individual sprues? Mainly looking for PSC or the later Battlefront plastics. Are there any other plastic (or even resin/metal) mini makers who sell a squad level or platoon amount of men that would fit with PSC or the Battlefront minis? Thanks |

I'd bey you could find some old metal on Ebay…i see loads of olf FoW being dumped there. |

I do, but I'm not that desperate(yet) to buy metal :) Thanks |

I thought PSC sold individual sprues? |

Not sure where you live exactly, which may change the answer a bit, but the answer is yes. Battlefront themselves sell some things by the sprue, including their plastic US infantry: link Caliver's ebay shop sells stuff by the sprue sometimes. Can't see any US infantry on there at the minute but imagine they will be there at some point: auction |

Yea, not seeing much beyond the Battlefront sprues, but for $9 USD a pop I'd rather spend another $10 USD and get a full PSC box. Thanks all |

Metal is way better then plastic, as far as longevity and collectability. |

I find metal minis lack detail over plastics |

Northern Front, each to his own, I wouldn't criticise anyone's preference in scale or medium. |
