discussion Help needed.

[Somerset John]

Can someone help. I need to find 1:76 or thereabouts models of showjumping horses and riders. This is for a diorama I am putting together. I cant find anything suitable at all, but then I am fairly new to this hobby. Any help or advice greatly appreciated.

John,
I can't recollect any showjumpers in 1/72 scale - there are some in OO scale - around 1/76 try these:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Langley-Models-galloping-jumping-UNPAINTED/dp/B003BF26YY
Not cheap £10+ for 3 figures - the best advice I can give is look at railway modelling shops - OO figures, they will have more variety - maybe less expensive.
Good Hunting
Dave

Those Langley jobs are pretty old, not sure how good the moulds will be. They are not the greatest of sculpts either. Unfortunately after a good look around I can’t find any others. The only other options I found were 3D printable files.

Preiser figures do a lot of 1/76 figures including riding lessons and circus horses.May be have something you could use.

I thought Preiser figures were 1/87 (HO) Jon?

Preiser has quite a range of scales. But not sure about show jumping...riding perhaps.

Cheers,
Richard

Thanks Tim. Could be just the job. Thanks very much. This particular item seems to be very rare at the moment, consequently prices are getting a bit silly but thanks very muchfor taking the trouble Regards John

 

[Somerset John]

Found it elsewhere at a more reasonable price. Thanks again Tim

 

[Tim Marlow]

No probs, glad I could help! Hope they come up to expectations :thumb2:

Just looked at the auction....it’s getting quite silly....at that price I’d be tempted to buy two at the more reasonable price you’ve found and sell one on.....
