I'm looking for a generic sci-fi civilian/spaceman/astronaut-type figure in rough 28 mm scale (will be used as an objective marker in 40k). Does anyone have any recommendations for ranges or figures? Something similar in scale to 40k.

I did a Google search but did not find anything quite right so far. I know Reaper have a couple of astronauts, and the male astronaut they have ( http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/astronaut/latest/50101 ) would have worked were it not for the cigar and expression. I know Infinity have a bunch of nice miniatures, but the scaling and aesthetic aren't quite right for me. Something in a spacesuit would be ideal, but not necessary.

Take a look at Ainsty Castings, Antenocitis Workshop and ramshackle.

They all have differing vehicles that may be of interest.

There was also a Kickstarter in the news section on Dakka recently that was all about futuristic vehicles though the name escapes me.

Also Heresy Miniatures do some.

GW in Rogue trader days had some civivlian space pilots.

Prepainted OOP Star Wars Miniatures have a load of cheap SciFi civilians, not hero-scale distorted though.

I just re-read the thread and don't know how I came to read it was about vehicles?

Anyway you should try crooked dice for spaceman minis and Foundry miniatures also has a huge range of near future models too.

Crooked Dice should have all you need, from tweed wearing civillians to astronaughts in spacesuits. You are sure to find something to suit there.

Just as an example. They have it all.

Thanks for the suggestions, lots to look at here.

You should also check out Blue Moon Manufacturing for space men. They tend towards a retro futurist style, but could prove useful.

Thanks, Bob. I did find them on my early Google search.

After spending some time browsing all the above, I eventually went with this guy from Hasslefree (Hazmat suit with Geiger counter), who's pretty much perfect for my purpose: http://www.hfminis.co.uk/shop?product=hazmat-with-geiger-counter~hfa096&category=miniatures~modern-adventurers
