1/144 Scale Model Figures

Miniature Military Personnel for Precision Scale Modeling

At approximately 12 millimeters tall, 1/144 scale figures represent one of the most challenging yet rewarding aspects of miniature military modeling. This specialized collection features meticulously sculpted personnel from Pegasus and Pig Models, spanning World War I through modern conflicts with exceptional attention to authentic uniforms, equipment, and combat poses. Despite their tiny size, these figures capture recognizable details that bring critical life and context to military modeling projects, transforming static vehicle displays into dynamic historical narratives.

The Pegasus selection provides comprehensive coverage of major military forces across multiple eras. The WWII German infantry set features authentic feldgrau uniforms with rifles, machine guns, and combat equipment representing Wehrmacht soldiers from 1939 through 1945, while the American forces showcase classic olive drab uniforms with M1 Garand rifles, Thompson submachine guns, and distinctive steel helmets capturing the GI from North Africa to the Pacific. The Russian troops display characteristic gymnastyorka tunics and pilotka caps with PPSh submachine guns representing the Red Army that fought from Stalingrad to Berlin. Modern American forces appear in NATO woodland camouflage and desert uniforms with contemporary weapons and tactical gear for Cold War through Middle Eastern theater scenarios.

Rare Historical Subjects and Specialized Units

Pig Models contributes distinctive subjects often overlooked by other manufacturers, including the remarkable Imperial German Army balloon corps personnel representing the specialized observation balloon units that provided aerial reconnaissance during World War I. These unique figures feature period-correct uniforms, equipment, and poses specific to these military aviation support troops, allowing modelers to create historically accurate scenes around observation balloons, airfield dioramas, and Great War military installations that capture the early days of military aviation when tethered balloons served as the primary means of aerial observation.

Working with 1/144 scale figures demands careful painting techniques using fine brushes, precise color application, and simplified detail approaches that suggest uniforms and equipment rather than attempting to replicate every button and buckle. The scale works perfectly with 1/144 scale aircraft where ground crew figures provide essential context and scale reference, 1/144 armored vehicles where infantry support adds tactical realism, airfield and military base scenes where personnel populate the environment, and strategic-level wargaming where entire units can be represented by compact figure groups. These miniature soldiers integrate seamlessly with models from our 1/144 scale ships collection, creating complete military scenes that capture the human element of warfare across different eras and theaters of operation.
