I'm building a Revell/Monogram VW Vanagon camper and would like to build a campsite diorama. I'd like to find some "campers", maybe sitting in lawnchairs or something like that. Any suggestions where to find suitable figures?

what scale is barbie stuff? we made punk barbies for a barbie street trash diorama. and a barbie hooker.
Too big. I'm doing something similar. Look for Jimmy Flintstone/Dr. Flintbone figures. They're pretty good, and you should be able to fins something that you can use. Barbie hooker????

Jimmy Flintstone had some, don't know if they are still available.
also the Garbage Truck kit by monogram has a Girl with a tamborine, and some guitar players,
all of these mentioned figures are 1/24th scale, but there is some out there by Wiking, I think thats the company, look at some G scale or Large Scale train places
The Garbage Truck figures look seriously undersized to me, perhaps 1/32.

carries a lot of the Jimmy Flintstone stuff. I've done some business with them and have no complaints.

the owners have pics, i don't know if they want them in the public domain.
No more filling and sanding than would be required on ANY Tamiya figures. Just add some artistic usage of epoxy putty, and this is the perfect solution. If only there was a good line of extensive aftermarket
1/24th scale heads out there. (MIKE GOOD-----HELP!!!...lol)well yeah but what are hippies but spoiled rich kids, aka "trustafarians"?
and of course some work will need to be done. its modeling!

Some work?!! One of them is even a spitting image of Bill Gates in shorts with an overconfident facial expression. Only a *master* modeller will be able to turn him into a hippie!
Does he have glasses? Paint them as shades!
Use that epoxy putty to put a "fro" on his head. Add a goatee, and sideburns. Use the same putty to turn that shirt and shorts into a robe of some sort.
Easy to do instant hippy!!
:o)
I'm sure Mattel would be thrilled. ;)
