Hey there, Adm. Lee. Oh, there are just loads of modern figures available in 1/35th now. Tamiya, Dragon, Trumpeter, and Masterbox in plastic, and Black Dog, Verlinden, Legend, and tons more in resin.
Y'know, I'm not sure yet which rules I'll use. I have Force on Force, which were designed for modern, but I might modify something from Bolt Action or one of the Two Fat Lardies systems.
I'm not certain how often I'll get to play in 1/35th, but just imagine how spectacular it would look at a convention.
