I've gotten a couple of figures from koleso884 for my Pz III. They are really well cast, natural poses, and decently priced. Here's the link to my PZ III show off thread and you can see the figures...

The commander figure is a modified HL, the other 2 are the resin ones. I'm wanting to get some of the winter riders to throw on my whitewashed PZ IV.

Thanks, Richard and Rad for the AliExpress link. Is there a particular reason why the Turkish branch seems to come up? Not that it matters, I just had to smile because every fourth image is of a sultry female in uniform, and definitely not wearing the requisite modest attire..
I liked this laconic looking German trooper especially. He could sit on a battered Panzer very well:

It comes up in English for me.

Many thanks for the link Bill; a superb build, and the DAK figures a perfect fit. They're well worth investing in. So much so, I thought I'd post one of your pics here to illustrate the point

Hmmm..puzzling. Every time I click on it, I get the Turkish window on the world. There is a link to the 'global English site' on the top right, however. It may be that I once arrived at the Turkish site before, and the cookie remained in the Mac's memory, so that the next time I linked to AliExpress from another source, the browser used the most recent cookie to patch me into Mustapha Model's Turkish branch..

just edited this because when I typed 'next', as in "..the next time I linked..", this damned predictive text gremlin converted the text to "..the nice time I.."'. A nice time would be nice..if it were next

Here are a few more 1:16 torsos and figures. Getting a British tanker in 1:16 was as difficult as finding a 1:16 British tank is:/ .. Should I be surprised? The notable exception is Forgebear's Tank Captain offering (used to great effect on Tom's Cromwell).
There were plenty of figures in 1:35, just as British tanks also begin to appear in that diminutive scale. Classy Hobby figures are notionally available from Steve at Welshdragon. (Except they're out of stock.. ) The Tamiya figures are OK, and half the price of the ones above. It appears that it's necessary to fork out around £20 and above to get a passable figure, but some of the cheaper ones are OK too..
I checked out Trumpeter, and they make decent figures in 1:16. However, you could buy a golden Oscar figure for the price of this one on Ebay Then, I saw some lovely Verlinden models; but they really are just a shade too big for 1:16 displays and diorama, I think. But here's a 1:9 scale 'Red Beret' (with two deadly weapons... )
at the absurd end of the models mart:

Mine are not bad, especially considering the time you will save not painting!

Not at all bad, and I'm also impressed by your enterprise
But did they really smoke loco weed in those days, as that looks suspiciously like a joint in his hand ?
This forum has a lot of talented people drifting though its portals...some perhaps on a cloud of wacky backy
Just jesting, of course. I must check out some of your other creations

If you ever do US troops, let me know. I'll buy a halftrack full.

Good lord.. The Germans are getting so desperate, they're sending double amputees into the war now!

Ermm..that would be "triple amputee'' for a gentleman, I think...
