Hello all,

I have done a search on this with no luck. This is my first time. Virgin??? Anyway, I need to know who would make or where I can get people that are 1/24 scale. I don't want military or fantasy style. I need contemporary people; it is for a diorama of a car show at a 1960’s style drive in.

Any help would be appreciated

Andrew

Do search for Chimneyville hobbies. They produce lots of fun figures, but there are few photo references to them online.

The Chimmneyville figures for $2.88 are cheap enough to try and convert to figures you need.
I think Tamiya had some 1/24 figures too.

Thank for the info. I'll look into these and hopefully I can find what I'm looking for.

Do any of you know if HO trains are close to 1/24???

Andrew

HO is 1/87 scale.

Fujimi makes a set of 1/24 figures to go with their 1/24 car kits. Casual male drivers, female driver, people in street clothes doing mecahnic things... I got it From squadron.com about a month ago, but they seem to be out of stock now. Squadron's stock # was FU11040.

I checked HLJ too, and its not there. The damn kit's been around for 30 years, and now I can't find it? Hmph!

Thanks beeblebrox.

I did a search on the squadron.com and couldn't find it either. I have found a few at some other websites but this sounds the best if they have people driving. That would take a lot of grief out of reshaping the ones that are overpriced.

Thank again,
Andrew

Tamiya makes a set of 1/24 people called "Campus Friends" Guys and girls including one girl on a moped.

Fujimi do a a couple of figure sets including a set of skiers.

Prieser, who make mainly model railway figures, do a 1/24 scale range. Surf up www.walthers.com (http://www.walthers.com) for pictures and prices. (They are a bit pricey)

Scale Equipment, www.seltd.net (http://www.seltd.net) , do a range of resin figures that are quite nice. Many '60's type figures..

And Jimmy Flintstone make another range of resin figures: http://www.jimmyflintstonestudios.com/ but the web site is under construction and is not working too well.. Try http://www.hobby-online.com/fltstone.htm as it has lots of pictures of the figures but a google search will find lots more..


Trains in 1/24 scale.... Your best bet is 'G' scale. This is 1/22.5 but close enough.. This scale is often used for garden railways.
www.walthers.com (http://www.walthers.com) stock G scale as does www.lgb.com (http://www.lgb.com) but surf around the internet as there are lots out there. Just depends what you want..

Hope that this all helps

Alien,

This is certainly good info.
Thanks to all who helped me on this.

Andrew

In 1/24th scale they'd be tiny, besides what on earth are you going to do with those nasty little marshmellow chickens anyway?

Man oh man its been awhile since I have been able to get back on the computer. I ordered from www.seltd.net and got it in record time. Thanks for all the help.

tr7nut, they are better for my diet.... :jest:

When you say "peeps", do you mean the marshmallow-based confection?

I've purchased several from Scale hobby.com. They may have what you're looking for.

Thanks Don. Ive seen a lot and got some good figures for drivers from www.seldt.com
I had to cut down the car drivers because they are more of a 1/18 than 1/24. No big deal though. I like the mechanics on www.scalehobby.com
I think I'll order them next to see how well they will fit. :thumbsup:

Italeri has a kit with three male figures in their truck accessory set.
