Anyone recommend a company for 15mm Japanese and Allied minis for the Pacific theatre?

Cheers!

Well, I know someone makes them because here is a photo from WPB (John Boultwood) in the 15mm Gallery:

If I had to guess I'd say these are Peter Pig Japanese: http://www.peterpig.co.uk/japanese.htm

Also... I noticed that The War Store carries both Marines and Japanese in Resistant Roosters: http://thewarstore.com/resistantroosterswwii.html

I hope that helps, good luck!

Hi, the figures are from the command decision range, you can get them from skytrex or old glory, they are pretty good figures and quite reasonably priced.

John,

Thanks for the info and it's nice to hear from you :D I tried purchasing some Quality Castings (Battle Honors?) 15mm infantry and vehicles a couple of weeks ago and I was a little disappointed after hearing some very good reviews on them. I'll have to look into the Command Decision stuff; have you tried their vehicles by chance? Typically I stick with Battlefront but I'm not real keen on their PzIII's.

Have you been painting anything good lately?

Take Care,
Tanner

Hi, i tend to stick with battlefronts models as they are the best 15mm IMO, i did paint some command decision Japanese tanks and the castings were a bit rough.
I can't seem to get anything finished at the momment, i have some SS artillery and guns near completion which should look good when done, and i have an FJ army at the early stages of painting but i have done alot of converting and modeling work on it already and i think it will be my best work when done.

John,

Wow, that's a bold statement considering how good your past work is :D I really look forward to seeing it when done!
