I need some advice on finding scale people and props for displaying my collection

By Rineake, in X-Wing

My goal is to build a basic Rebel hangar diorama. I plan to start with a piece of styrofoam, painted to resemble the floor of a hangar.

I'll then add some props, wiring and cargo containers and such.

I'm having a really hard time finding people models that are to the 1/270 scale. They'd be tiny, less than a centimeter tall. I'm also on the lookout for anything I could easily covert to look like a hangar prop. Maybe a truck, or lift.

I've been thinking about doing something similar but maybes a little less ambitious. Would love to see the falcon escaping Tatooine not that I will be doing it lol. Hope to see some pics

I know millennium falsehood used some figures when he did a bridge for his cr-90 but I don't know where he got them.

6mm ultra modern wargames figures might look just about ok.

Im sure someone must do modern pilots that painted orange, given a white helmet , would look like rebels.7

6mil is 1/300th so not far off the xwing scale.... probably the closest you're going to get mass produced.

How about these, 6fd15 if you scroll down look a bit like rebel troopers from the tantive

I know I've seen 1/285 scale armor (tanks and the like), but not the exact 1/270. Then again, the epic ships aren't 1/270 either...

285 seems pretty **** close. I'm don't have much experience in modeling though, so I'm not sure how close is "close enough".

6mm scale, which is 1/285 or 1/300 depending on who you ask and what side of the Atlantic they are on, should be perfectly fine.

Painted as rebel pilots. Hope it helps.

Yeah you want to roll with 1/300 scale. About 7 to 9 mm tall. These are some guys I had cast... so one day I am gonna do a project like this too.

My advice: you don't actually want to find fishmen. Stop looking.
