My Daughter is doing the Second world war as her topic. One of her projects (needs to be completed in a couple of weeks) is an Anderson Shelter.

She wants to have some figures inside it and then build the shelter to what ever scale it needs to be. I am struggling to find any figures that fit the bill, She like this one but its more than I would like to spend and the wrong period.

Any thoughts would be great.

ICM might also have some civilian figures in their catalogue

Maybe look at the railway side of things?

Ian is right, Stu: railroad figures like this by Preiser. I wish I could figure out how to copy a URL on the iPhone. The regular PC process for copy/paste sequence I‘ve used since 1984 doesn’t seem to work with the address box in Apple‘s browser on I phone.

That‘s Boris Gudinov, SOG, thanks. I was just chatting with my sweetheart here; she told me to try it again just as I thought to do so, and :O it worked.

Thank you guys. I found there is a new model shop fairly local to me so I popped in and was very happy to come away with these. My daughter's first time working with models. She is not impressed with the 1/35 scale but hopefully it will grow in her. Image

:think: I am trying to figure out (puns are always intended) how the street musicians will suit an Anderson shelter, but most especially, I hope the boy with the trumpet stays out on the street. :haha:
