anyone any idea how to obtain some 6mm volkssturm figs?
just curious if there are any options or not. I would like a rag tag look on them.

Irregular SCW range could be of use.
A mix of Late WW1 German and Afrika Corps figs is another option.

Mixing in ACW types would work too.

What the heck do you need Volkssturm for? Canon fodder? Grin
Well, this is difficult in 6mm. Try to mix Wehrmacht/Afrika Corps with the 98k and some Panzerfausts. Try to do some "Green Stuff" jobs to change hats and go for this:

Have a look at the propaganda poster.

Well bjorn i will say that have your work cut out for you but i think if you want volksstrum that badly you could just paint them different colours to represent people wearing civilian cloths.
