JohnRatzenberger Posted March 5, 2018 Report Posted March 5, 2018 I got it in mind to build a US Marine figure from the Revolutionary War - none of this is my area of specialty. 54mm is the smallest and I would prefer bigger. I did find 2 Art Girona 54mm figures which I have ordered. I also found a 120mm of exactly what I wanted (round hat, brim up on side) from Minuteman Models but they appear to be out of business for several years. And that's it. I have a couple books here or due-in that may help me convert something else, but right now I know almost nothing about the era and subject. Any help would be appreciated -- I have been trolling the web with various searches then working my way down the results, with little luck -- so it may be there aren't many out there. Thanks in advance.

JohnRatzenberger Posted March 6, 2018 Author Report Posted March 6, 2018 Thanks, Ed, but I'm looking at 1776. Besides if I got them, then I'd HAVE TO get the Fighting Top. On the bright side, the books that were delayed by the nor-easter have arrived and I now have several clear drawings and some descriptive text. This should allow me to page back through AWI figures and see what might be close enough to modify. I think the basic design/construction was similar, only differing in details and colors. Still, any useful hints for base figures, etc, would be welcome.
Mark Aldrich Posted March 9, 2018 Report Posted March 9, 2018 John, I looked for the figure you mentioned and the only thing that came up as minutemen models was a hobby store.
Roktman Posted April 2, 2018 Report Posted April 2, 2018 Give Red Lancers a try. I can't say they have it, but they do offer a large selection.
JohnRatzenberger Posted April 10, 2018 Author Report Posted April 10, 2018 Thanks Kevin, got the Art Girona figures and I'll live with 54mm. I may also modify a few of the old Airfix Revoluitonary War figures.
