Greetings to all. I was wondering whether someone can point me to the right direction? I want to build a small vignette with an SAS jeep in Africa. Can someone suggest any companies which produce 1/35 SAS figures?

Cheers
Nicolas

Thanks Carl. I will check these out.

Carl,
I don't believe the LRDG are SAS but a different unit that helped the SAS navigate the desert. I could be wrong. But New World Miniatures did make a couple of SAS jeep personal.

Swash Design does a really nice set if you can find them of SAS and LRDG.

Tamiya do a great 1/35th scale SAS Jeep kit and a LRDG Chevy Truck. I think Esci also did a kit called the Commando Car, which was essentially the same Jeep vehicle. I'd go for the Tamiya version if you have a choice.

Although SAS and LRDG operated in the same theatre and performed equally amazing feats by penetrating long distances behind enemy lines, they did perform different missions/ functions. They were not the same units, although they did often collaborate with each other.

Guys many many thanks to all for your valuable feedback.
I will basing my vignette on the Tamiya Jeep, with a conversion set from Legend Productions.
I will combine the Evolution SAS figures with one of either Swash Design or New World Miniatures, the latter appearing to be excellent casts.
Look out for the Vbench thread

Nicolas,
I look forward to seeing it. I have a fondness for the SAS jeep having done two 1/35th and one 1/16.

So do I John including Jeeps used by British Paras during the 2nd World War. I have built a couple using Resicast conversion sets and figures

Masterbox brought out a desert SAS/LRDG kit a short while ago. Nice figures by the look of them.
