Is there anything similar to those types of soldiers that come in bulk??? I really want to get into little wars the hg wells game. Is there any way to paint plastic figures to make them look glossy???
Yes--use gloss paints.
There's not really anything like an instant collection (unless someone dies and you inherit his collection, or can buy it at an estate auction). But depending on what you're looking for, and whether or not you're willing to or interested in painting your own, you could:
--buy plastic figures in small scale, as you've suggested, and paint them
--buy metal wargaming figures, which are also in small scales, and paint them
--buy old toy soldiers in auctions, at shows or elsewhere on the second-hand market, and paint them
--buy new castings and paint them
The last two suggestions would work well, if you're interested in getting figures in the traditional scale of 54mm, and since you've indicated that you want to get large numbers of figures quickly.
You probably don't want to buy finished figures from contemporary makers, because you won't be able to get them in large numbers, and they won't come cheap.
Hope that helps, prosit!
