Figures for the 1/350 Trek models-sources?

Hey folks,

Way back when I picked up the NX-01 and the 1/350 Refit, I made a point to buy all the aftermarket for them, EXCEPT for some figures to install in the visible areas. I know of sources for 1/350 photo etch figures that can be converted to Starfleet with a little effort, but I thought someone made some actual 3D plastic figures. Does anyone else recall this and remember where to get those? Getting ready to get started on these kits finally and I’d like to have some decent figures for them.

1/350th scale 3-D figures would be very hard to paint. They’re less than a 1/4 inch tall.

I only know of the photo etch kits you’ve mentions.

I was thinking, Gerry, the photo etch ones will probably be ok, since the viewer can only look one direction through the windows, it gives a very narrow field of view. Probably just be able to make out the silhouette anyway.

Tamiya makes a set of 1/350 (Japanese) sailor figures in styrene, but they are also essentially flat.

I have built the 1/350 NX-01. I can’t imagine putting figures in there. They would be tiny and just about invisible through the little windows. However, best wishes for success if you want to try this.

I can recall seeing 1/350 Japanese Navy figures on the Fujumi site. They were more detailed then the Tamiya figures. I suppose you could paint red shirts on some of them but those round sailor hats would look strange.

People Scale dot com has a wide variety of those figurse.

I’ve never ordered from them so can’t give a review.
