Well, it looks like I am going to go overboard with this whole 1:16 scale tank thing. I cannot help but imagine what it would be like to start gathering other things from the WWII period that are also the same scale. I can buy and build structures (train set buildings) with a little help from the LHS, but how about 1:16 scale static vehicles and posable action figures? I know it may sound like I just want to play with trucks and dolls but I want to increase the realism by incorporating soldiers and props.

I have been searching around on-line, but I have not had much luck finding WWII American soldiers of the right scale. I found several German characters that are 1:16 and some U.S. guys that are 1:18, but I want them all to come from the same manufacturer, so they do not look like a bunch of dolls thrown into the scenery. [] Scale detail and realism are going to be important to me.

Do you know of a good place to start looking? Are there any people who collect stuff like this, who can point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Jason
