1/18 Luftwaffe Ground Crew

I want to make some but dont know where to start. Any suggestions?

How about these guys............



.....with your talents Jon I'm sure you could do some custom work to them.
I've used a few with the Pickelhaube Ho-229 and they look good, its a start.

Hey, you can use dragon guys and paint them a luftwaffe blue. I did that before and it looked good! Also don them with appropriate insignia.

I've always just used a standard German 1:18 soldier. The one from the 21c D-Day lineup with the hat worked good, as did the Panzergrenadier from the S1 line of 21c figures. Not entirely accurate, but basic enough.

This is sort of what Im after..



The closest thing I can think of is the original black tanker figures which are rare now..

[flyboy_fx]

I would sculpt them then. Overalls would be easy to try! And when I mean sculpt, I would use a figure and heavily mod it.

What about these. They are 1:18 car mechanic figures, they are not articulated but a good place to start.

I like those! where can I get them at??

[maritime96]

They used to be up on ebay all the time, but I don't see any up there now. I would say that you could check a local hobby store that does diecast cars. I have a friend who collects the big diecast cars, I will see if I can get any leads from him as to where to get them currently and I will let you know.

Thsi is an auction for a different set of 1:18 garage figures. They are a little different but might work also (and they are currently available):
