Hi Silveroxide:
If I understood well you changed to 1/35. You can find some figures. Andrea makes in 54mm, porbably you might find some to use as a base.
Another alternative could be the Preiser figures "Academy nudes" or something like that. They are multipose male (and female kits). They have 6 figures. You can choose the best combination of parts to get the desired pose.
Other then the Pharaoh, maybe the other men would be in simple garments, so it wouldn't require much sculpintg.
Here's an example of boxed diorama i made some years ago with those fiugres, but in 1/24.
Hi Zathros, hope you didn't took wrong my comment. I reeeally have dificulty in making commnets when a work is overwhelming.
Rgds to all
