I was poking around on Shapeways catalogue and found some interesting items. All are 3-D printed and designed by Holden8702. Besides more mundane subjects, he has several figure sets rangeing from 1/24 - 1/350, including 1/144 and 1/200, and 1/48. As a matter of fact, there are figures for just about any ship model scale! Recent additions are Kriegsmarine figures in 1/144 and 1/72 - perfect for Revell U-boats and S-boats. I already have 1/48 US combat crew for Merit PT boat, and the same in 1/144 for Revell Fletcher - next will be the new 1/144 Kriegsmarine for my U-boats. http://www.shapeways.com/shops/panzervstanks
I would highly reccommend these figures, even though they are a little pricey.

Ahoy Biggles2
Great link thanks.
The product line is very nice indeed.
I see many of the sets have 30 figures in them.
Cheers

Yeah, the smaller the scale, the more figures are included. They may be a little more expensive than North Star, but he has a much larger variety in more scales.
