Plastic Soldier Company
The Plastic Soldier Company (PSC) is a British manufacturer of hard plastic miniatures and wargaming products, founded in 2008 by lifelong wargamer and military history enthusiast Will Townshend. PSC was created out of frustration with the limitations of traditional soft polythene gaming figures, with the aim of producing injection-moulded hard plastic kits that would satisfy modellers, diorama builders and wargamers alike.
The range focuses primarily on World War II subjects in 1/72 (20mm) and 15mm (1/100) scales, covering British, American, German and Soviet forces with infantry, tanks, artillery and vehicles. Each box typically contains enough models to field a full platoon or unit, making army building straightforward and affordable. The hard plastic construction provides sharper detail and easier painting than soft polythene alternatives, and kits include multiple build options for different vehicle variants. PSC products are compatible with popular WWII wargaming rule sets including Bolt Action, Flames of War and Chain of Command, as well as PSC’s own Battlegroup rules. PSC figures sit well alongside 1/72 ranges from Strelets and HaT Industrie.

- PSC 1/72 Scale Figures and Vehicles
The 1/72 scale range is a core strength of the Plastic Soldier Company catalogue. Hard plastic infantry sets are available for British, American, German and Soviet forces, covering late war subjects with accurate uniforms, weapons and equipment. Heavy weapons sets add machine guns, mortars and anti-tank guns to the infantry lineup.
Vehicle kits in 1/72 include some of the most iconic armour of the Second World War. Shermans, Panzer IVs, T-34s, StuGs, Churchills, half-tracks and soft-skin transport vehicles are all available, typically with multiple build options per sprue. The hard plastic material is superior to the soft polythene used by some competitors, offering sharper detail and easier painting.
- PSC 15mm Scale Kits
For wargamers who prefer the smaller 15mm scale, PSC offers a parallel range of infantry and vehicle kits. This scale is popular for larger battle games where players field entire companies or battalions on the tabletop, and PSC kits provide an economical way to build up forces quickly. The 15mm kits share the same high-quality hard plastic construction and multiple build options as the 1/72 range.
- PSC for Wargamers
Plastic Soldier Company kits are designed with wargamers in mind. Each box typically contains enough models to field a full unit or platoon, making army building straightforward and affordable. The kits are compatible with popular WWII wargaming rule sets including Battlegroup, which PSC produces in partnership with other publishers, as well as Bolt Action, Flames of War and Chain of Command.
The combination of hard plastic construction, good detail, multiple build options and competitive pricing has made PSC a go-to brand for WWII wargamers who want to field attractive armies without spending a fortune.
