I want Marie to be doing the action sequences using Pendraken miniatures and stop-motion technology. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

Just remembered Marie that there is a film costume shop in London that should be able to supply you with uniforms. You'd have to so some Google searching, but hope this helps?
