"15mm in Parkas other cold weather gear" Topic

I came across a model of the Byrd Antarctic Snow Cruiser:
Real:

This strongly suggests a snowbound adventure.

Paper model:

The model is 1/100, which could be changed, and I know that figures in parkas are available in 28mm, but I prefer 15mm.
But I do not know of any figures.

So I am looking for cold weather gear figures in 15mm, ideally in the Plup Era ~1930s gear, Thompson's, 45Cals, that type of arms, or good conversions, say from sailors, or other figures without helmets. I figure adding a parka might not be too difficult with a good figure to start with.

interesting design. can see the wheels are too close together for traction. nice build.

Khurasan makes 15mm parka clad figures for Ice Station Z… zebra? And for The Thing

That's an incredibly futuristic looking vehicle for the 1930's. Also honking huge. I would have serious doubts about mobility under arctic conditions with just four wheels.

As for figures, would folks with greatcoats and fur hats work? You could check out various WWII ranges, such as Winter War Finns or eastern frot Germans/Soviets in winter gear. As for conversions, would it be too difficult to do head swaps between figures with helmets and without?

Have you got plans for the Antarctic opposition for the brave explorers? Secret Nazi bases, mutant penguins and elder things from Lovecraft spring immediately to mind.

The real story is not so good:

It in fact failed to move across the snow.
This despite having eight low ground pressure wheels:

But as an example of unbridled hubris, it is hard to resist.

Good call on greatcoats and winter hats.
