Okay, I have 12 MIB ESCI NATO Pilots and Ground Crew boxes (don't ask)
that
have 1/72nd plastic figures. Thinking about them as human or humanoid
"militia" force. I would need rifles/etc to add to the figures to make
them
'combat capable' figures. Any ideas about a source of 1/72nd small
arms/etc?
With a little work you can turn the pilots into vehicle crew and let
them
stick out of turrets and such. I believe the guys in T-shirts and such
will make
good mechanics for motor pools which may be essential in some
scenarios. I
do not believe you are going to find any 1/72nd small arms anywhere,
though
you could pick up a few boxes of world war 2 figures or such and lop
arms off
and attache them to the other figures by using a hot needle to heat
weld them
in place. I have never had much luck gluing that kind of polystyrene
plastic
to anything BY anything.
