Little panicky people

#1 Post by Rocketeer »

I wonder if any of you out there who build giant monster dioramas can tip me off to a good source of panicky, running people in 1/160 or 1/220 scale? I need some to add scale and thrills to a Godzilla dio I'm thinking about.

I've looked over a number of model railroad sites, but none of the major suppliers (Preiser, Merten, Noch, Woodand Scenics) seem to make exactly what I want: Running people with their hands in the air.

Thanks in advance.

I am not sure what scale they are. Would the people from the old Gigantics kits work?

Not sure; I had thought that they were larger than 1/160. But I'll pull a couple out and check.

You're best bet would be to get the Preiser N scale and modify them.
I have both N and Z scale and modifying the Z scale is almost impossible.

You might be able to find some printable ones - there's a lot of "crowd" options out there

I've seen tiny figures in 1/700 for the ship models. They are basically just PE people.
Taking a guess I think they would also come in slightly larger scale. Being PE you could bend them into the shape you want, then just a little CA to "thicken" them up.
