    Anyone know where I can get Figures of kids playing soccer. I am willing to paint if they are close enough. I saw Baseball and football but they won't work. Also what scale measurements should I be searching under. Is it 1/48?

    It is not too hard to modify plastic people to get them into the poses you want. I slice off arms and legs at different joints and glue them back to get what I want then paint them. Try it.

    If you're looking for N scale, it's 1/160, although a lot of 1/144 is close enough to work.

    Since your on the N scale forum the scale would be 1:160. 1:48 would be O scale.

    maybe this could work.

    Also, I have some great figures in plastic that are 1:72. Any way to shrink those? Microwave?

    I wish. No, I don't think that is possible. There are a lot of 1:160 figures out there. Some inexpesive like Life Like and some very high quality like Priezer. Even the Woodland Scenics would work for cut and glue. The kids playing "pick-up" baseball may be a good starting place. Chop the bat off and turn the batter into a goal keeper catching a soccer ball, etc.

    I'm sure WS will do soccer players.

    Did you check Preiser, they make action figures as well.

    Stay cool and run steam.... [​IMG] :cool: :cool:

    Was there not an article in Model Railroader a few months back about a husband/wife dual (home& ntrak module) layouts in N that had a soccer field and a baseball field on it. Don't remember if the article said anything about it, but I do remember seeing the soccer (MY OTHER LOVE) figures.
    Sorry I can't remember which month it was, can not find that issue. Maybe some of our MoPac fans can remember the issue, the husband/wife modeled the MOP.
