Figures (not dolls) for 1" scale
zombie wrote:
Where can you find 1" scale figures that are realistic looking? I'm talking about figures that would be along the line of model soldiers and fantasy gaming miniatures but in 1" scale. I am always dissatisfied with figures that I see that use real fabric and such. The fabric never hangs exactly right for the scale and so forth, and when these figures are placed in a setting that is otherwise meticulously scaled, they stick out like a sore thumb. I'm not belitting anyone's efforts in this area, but for me these types of figures just don't work in a scale setting. Some time ago (20 years ago or so) I saw an ad for someone offering figures like I'm looking for. I think they were made of porceline or something similar, and if I remember correctly, they were unpainted. I think the location was in Austin, TX or thereabouts. Can anyone help? Try the various series put out by th United States Historical Society. These are all VERY realistic, but include only prominent people, mostly from time periods circe 1960 and earlier (all women, as far as I know). http://www.ushsdolls.com Many of their older series (such as Great American Women) are available in secondary markets (we found them first at a local antique store, but I'll bet there's loads on e-bay. Here are a couple of images from e-bay http://idisk.mac.com/bnincongo/Publi...endollsout.jpg - Herb |
