Might I suggest a quick search with yahoo or google for your needs. Very user friendly and easy to use, without the wait you will encounter here on Dakka. And since more companys exist then I can shake a stick at in just about every scale around, I feel that this will be the best bet for you that will give you the results you are looking for.

Actually their is several companies that I dont have the links for, the first being a company produces some models called dogs of war, also reaper did a 54mm model.

Dogs Of War (which is a company that I love and have rule sets for) Went under. You can still find the awsome minis on the net. The Parent Company was called Devil Dog Design.

Once the models are gone, they are gone.

As for reaper, good luck with that one.

You can find pretty much everything from anyone at any scale, and at a 20% discount to boot. Tamiya, Dragon, Zveda, and the like.

What scale are you after Iron Gryphon?

If you want 28mm scale, you might want to try www.blackscorpionminiatures.com

If you want 1/35 scale, then Trumpeter are doing some good stuff right now, including PMCs!!

Other companies doing some nice stuff is MIG, resin miniatures of some modern soldiers.

To be fair though, you have to really hunt for 1/35th stuff in modern, it all tends to be WWII, unfortunately, and I can't find much in 28mm scale, especially for modern warfare types.

1/35, 1/72, and 1/144 are all very strong for military models.

I like Trumpeter models, because I have been looking for the vehicles not really the troops

I bought the 1/35th Stryker from Trumpeter! Awesome model, very detailed, but the crew figures are rubbish.

Enjoy!

There's a detailed article somewhere on the site but basically you want 1/48 to 1/35 scale.

Here's some 1/35 models I use.

These guys do some nice stuff, I have ordered from them a couple of times and have always been a happy customer
