Model Figures in a Wide Range of Sizes

Scale is key when choosing model figures. To match your model kits and dioramas, we stock figurines across popular sizes. These include:

  • 1:16 scale - Larger, highly detailed figures, often ideal for standalone display or centrepiece roles.
  • 1:24 scale figures - Great for pairing with model cars, especially in racing or civilian settings.
  • 1:32 scale figures - A classic choice that pairs well with many model aircraft or vehicles.
  • 1:35 scale - One of the most common sizes for military dioramas, with extensive figure and accessory support.
  • 1:48 and 1:72 scale - Suitable for aircraft and compact battle scenes.

These varied scales ensure that your figurines integrate seamlessly with your builds, maintaining realism and visual harmony. However, your choice doesn’t end at scale. You can get: 

Military Figurines

Military model kit figures are among the most popular options for hobbyists, offering both historical depth and visual drama. These figurines are ideal for recreating key moments in military history or simply enhancing tanks, vehicles, and battlefield layouts. Take the Gallipoli 1:35 scale plastic model kit, which includes four ANZAC infantry and four Turkish soldiers. 

Each figure comes with historically accurate weapons and gear, offering excellent authenticity. The kit is finely detailed and provides both Allied and Ottoman perspectives, perfect for diorama builders interested in World War I history.

Civilian Figurines

Not all model kit figures are soldiers - civilian figurines bring everyday life into your modelling world. They help populate fire stations, race tracks, garages, and more, offering human context to machines and structures. One excellent example is the American fire truck crew (1910s) kit set in 1:24 scale. 

It features two unassembled plastic figures posed as early 20th-century firemen. Standing at 75mm tall, they’re ideal for pairing with classic fire engines and vintage scenes. For something more modern and dynamic, the rally mechanics set is designed to complement 1:24 rally car models. 

The five-figure kit includes four mechanics in varied working poses and a driver giving instructions. Accessories like a jack, toolbox, and impact wrench add another layer of realism. You even get decals for Subaru and Peugeot racing teams, perfect for fans of World Rally Championship dioramas.

Together, these civilian sets show how model figurines can breathe life into a wide variety of settings, from historical snapshots to modern motorsport.

Model Kit Figures of People from History

For something more personalised, we have model figures of real historical characters. These historical model figures offer a powerful way to connect with the past, especially when depicting iconic military leaders. The figures are meant to serve as focal points in dioramas or as standalone collectibles.

One favourite is the Feldmarschall Rommel (German Africa Corps) figure. Rommel is portrayed in his North Africa campaign uniform, complete with detailed collar, medals, and clear-part goggles. At this scale, it’s a superb option for advanced painters and collectors.

For broader historical storytelling, the 1:48 scale famous general set allows modellers to portray five legendary commanders of World War II: Patton, Eisenhower, MacArthur, Montgomery, and Rommel. Each figure captures the unique appearance of its subject, from MacArthur’s signature pipe to Montgomery’s iconic beret. 

This set is ideal for educational displays or complex historical dioramas that demand a commanding presence. Historical model kit figures like these provide a meaningful way to pay tribute to key figures and events, making them especially rewarding to paint and display.
