1/8 military figures
Hi I am about to receive a Heng Long 1/8 scale all metal tiger 1, so I am searching for a figure to go in the top cupola hatch. I am find plenty of all different scales but not 1/8 scale, unless you know different. I am quite happy to pay the going rate for quality, I have seen some fantastic figures but in 1/6 scale. I only need the waist up part of the figure but I am prepared to do the surgery to a full figure.
Re: 1/8 military figures
I ran into this problem with a Heller 1/8 Citroen 15 car. I think it will make a good replica of a German staff car, but have had trouble finding figures as well. The re-release of the old 1/9 ESCI Kettenkrad comes with a vinyl figure, which is close in scale. I understand that figures in this scale are approximately 9" tall, and so far the only one I've found is a Star Trek Generations figure of Jean-Luc Picard, (like this one): https://www.ebay.com/itm/STAR-TREK-GENE ... SwMjpcGE1j It looks a lot like Colonel Klink, so I figure by changing the uniform and adding a monocle, I'll have a good General-type passenger for the car.

If you can find a stl file for a figure you like it can be printed at any scale you want

Re: 1/8 military figures
Speaking of abstract minds....yes, the General is doing fine. We're collaborating on a G&P build, (which means, I'm making the tank and he's making the tank commander for it). I'll make a thread and post it, whenever we get to that point. And, will send him your regards.
