So I got all this 144 scale armor sitting around, and was thinking I would start organizing it and put together some platoons for some gaming. What figures are people using with this stuff? I like the figs that come with some of the WTM stuff. I see figs advertised in 10mm, 12mm, N scale/160, etc., but none in 144 scale? Some of the brands I've seen are Perrin, Pendraken, Minifigs.

Is there a place where I could see fig comprison shots? Anybody have some favorites. I saw Pegasus has some painted 144 infantry out - how are they?

Dear Tankguy,

you have to visit Pegasus' site at : Panzer46

1.144 Russian



1.144 Modern US


1.144 WW2 Germans


1.144 Armour



As you can see on their site, Pegasus are moving forward with their plans to create a whole 1.144 scale collecting base.

Have fun viewing!

P.S.

If you search for " World Tank Museum" products in 1.144 scale, you sometimes get painted figures with them.

e.g. You get 3 painted crew members with their 251/D Hanomag.

This is a Japanese company called Kaiyodo which markets under the name of " World Tank Museum". Also sold under " Candy".

Designed in the USA by Arclight.

tankguy,

Might I suggest a forum to visit for wargamers that you can find loads of info on. It's free to sign up as a member and they have forums for every era of history you'd be interested in, including a forum specifically for 12mm wargaming which is about 1/144 scale. There is so much available out there, you'd be surprised.

I too, have been interested in 1/144 figures. I have 3 of the Dragon 1/144 King Tiger "Special" tanks that came with tank riders. The problem with this size soldier is that they are very pricey. The Panzer Place has a good collection of 1/144 soldiers, marching, etc. Eighteen of them were ca. $40.00 before shipping. Some 1/144 models come with them, but not many. I have the Dragon 1/144 Railgun which comes with soldiers. I thought about using the soldiers in another setting, but doesn't work real well.

I did find 18 U.S. 1/144 soldiers for $17.50 at Etcorp. They are staged with the Dragon landing craft.

I went to the Pegasus site, but, no prices? Where can you check out prices?

The pegasus site is sporadically updated and doesn't tell the full story on upcoming releases. The russian farmhouses I ran across on ebay - pegasus only mentions the 72 scale ones on their site. I've seen the soldiers for sale with pics at Michigan Toy Soldiers - michtoy.com. Go to the 'collectible military vehicles' link on the left, then scroll down to 144 scale - pegasus hobbies - the figures are all the way at the bottom.

Thanks for the tip on the et corps figures copland - I'll check them out. And thanks for the link to the 144 scale board Legio. I don't know if you've seen it, but another 144 scale board can be found here:

I'm liking 144 scale more and more! Now to find someone to paint up a few hundred figures for me...
