Other than Irregular Minatures is there any other source for 2mm figures that would work with 1.1200 scale ships?

In particular stands/bases that could be used in 20th Century, so I would settle for skirmishers from another era. I have looked at laser cast but conceed a little scale creep is acceptable

Look up Project Wargaming on You Tube.  He has many videos of his stuff - 3D printed.

The Pig ones are 1/600th for their ACW range. Magister Militum used to do 1/1200th scale aircraft.

Thanks for this. I checked out Magister Miltrum to look at their aircraft/ships AND.....discovered they also do 1/1200 figures.

So I have ordered 1x infantry pack, 1x support weapons and a pack of "mixed allied vehicles"

I will keep you all posted.

Aww, Ian, we all know that if one looks under that rough, abrasive exterior, one finds a heart of honest aggression and childlike quarrelsomeness.

My interest with these micros was sparked by two things: First, a old friend and wargamer passed away, and his family gave me a box of allsorts- the main 6mm collection went on ebay. In the box I found a collection - mostly unpainted Irregular 2mm, but some by another manufacturer. My suspicion is there were cast by Knight designs back in the 1980s ?? Does anyone remember these figures?

I have also wanted for some time a Tigermoon tray wargame for travelling/visiting family. Tigermoon do a very good value pirate Island mat. I have named the project "Wargame in paradise"
set on the fictitious island of St Marie.

Yeah. If only I'd bought more. Their WW2 Russian tanks were excellent (well, as good as a 2mm scale tank can be). I'm pretty sure the few I have/had are at the bottom of a box of unpainted miniatures - somewhere ☹️

As you mention you are not adverse to a "little" scale creep what about going up 1mm to Picoarmor 3mm stuff?

They do both WW2 and modern infantry as individual figures which may suit your needs?  :-\

I have some of their 3mm aircraft which are really nicely cast, but haven't seen the infantry figures in the flesh.

I believe Picoarmor sell Oddzial Osmy's 3mm stuff. I have loads of WW2 and Samurai stuff from them. Amazing detail considering the scale.

100% correct - from Poland if I remember correctly? The aircraft I have are really well detailed, just dont try to drill or file them too much, the metal alloy they use is very hard.
