28 Civilians WWII

Bring depth and human context to wartime scenes with the 28 Civilians WWII figure collection. Designed as a versatile multi-model set, these figures help populate streets, stations, homes, factories and public spaces across a wide range of World War II settings. The product carries the COLLECTION badge because its 28 models are especially well suited to creating complete, varied diorama scenes rather than a single isolated vignette.

Historical Role

Civilians were not battlefield troops, but their experiences were central to the history of World War II. They worked in agriculture and industry, maintained essential services, travelled under wartime restrictions and endured evacuation, occupation, shortages and aerial attack. In modelling displays, civilian figures provide the important social setting around military movements, damaged towns, transport routes and home-front activity.

Distinctive Appearance

The collection is visually distinguished by civilian period dress rather than standardised military uniforms and equipment. Its multi-figure format creates a more natural sense of population and activity, allowing individual models to be arranged as groups, passers-by or background characters. Civilian clothing also provides opportunities for subtle, varied paintwork using restrained fabrics, practical colours and worn wartime tones.

Modelling Uses

These figures are ideal for urban and rural dioramas, model railways, wargaming displays and collectors seeking greater narrative detail. Use them around railway platforms, roadside checkpoints, market areas, shelters, workshops or buildings to show the relationship between civilian life and wartime events. The range of scales supports everything from compact railway layouts to highly detailed display scenes.

Fun Fact

Wartime clothing rationing encouraged civilians to repair, alter and reuse older garments. This meant that streets often displayed a mixture of pre-war fashions, practical workwear and carefully maintained clothing rather than one uniform wartime look.

Available Scales

Available in 1:87, 1:76, 1:72, 1:48 and 1:35 scales.

Finish Options

Choose from Cleaned Resin Grey, Grey Primed - Ready for Painting, or Historical Base Colour.

Very small details may vary slightly depending on the scale selected.
