Does anyone know where I can purchase some 1/24 full length driver figures? I just used my last from my stash on my current build.

Greg, you can try Immense Miniatures. Datto/Marc has a small collection at the moment but is working on building it up. Original figures in 1/43, 1/32 ad 1/24. Probably not of the style you're currently after knowing your tastes, but worth a look.

Let me look in "The Abyss" under the track. I might have one or two, but I am thinking those are the newer style drivers from the 80's NASCAR kits.

Hi Greg,
MJK do a resin re-pop of the old Cox and Monogram full length drivers. I got mine from Way2fast slot car shop here in Canberra so maybe Armchair Racer or the slot car shop at Hornsby would have them.
Hope this helps,
Chris.

Thanks for the feedback. To me it seems there is a definate market for nice resin 1/24 figures. Im suprised there are very few around.
Ember I liked his page on FB a few weeks back. His figures are amasing, I dont think anything suits what Im after though.
DM Ill reply to your PM when I get a chance
Chris, yes I have been using MJK driver figures in all my builds. I bought like 10 of them in 1 hit. I just run out. Just seeing what else there is around.
Kemtron Ill look into them thanks.

I had been talking to him about the lack of suitable female driver figures available. Marc expressed more than a little interest when I suggested a Denise McCluggage portrait figure along the lines of his Graham Hill one. Hopefully it comes about.
I suppose I'm just a little tired of seeing the typically buxom wench type figures, so even some generic realistic female drivers would be welcome from my perspective. Surely I'm not the only one.

Oddly enough Jeremy. Jules and I had the exact same discussion about a "Pink Lady" tribute car. At least he didn't say NO.
Would love a Linda Scott Talbot. The all female Le Mans MG team. Bill Wisdom (UK), Joan Richmond (Aus), Kay Petre (Can) for pre-war.... and on it goes.
A generic, realistically proportioned body for each era would be a good start. Female heads are available for military figures. It shouldn't be that difficult, should it?
