				I've been working on finding some suitable proxies for Kzinti lately.
 
 
I've got a few of these guys from Dark Sword Miniatures.  In fact they're Kzinti.  They're in full body armor, so they make excellent Kzinti Marines.  Although I don't think the Starfleet Kzinti have tails however.  I don't recall seeing any Kzinti artwork that shows them with tails.  So that may need some modifications.
 
 
Another model I just picked up recently is the Togorain Soldier from Star Wars Miniatures.  He's about the same height as the pewter Dark Sword model and doesn't have a tail.  The soft plastic may make him easy to cut and modify.  
 
 
While looking at Star Wars Miniatures, I found this guy who may make a decent proxy for a Slirdarian.  The Yuzzem sort of looks like a cross between a bear and a gorilla.  He is a bit big however, even for a Slirdarian.  I just need to find a large disruptor rifle to put in his arms. |

				IIRC, Kzintis don't have tails, but those are easy to clip off. _________________ The Guy Who Designed Fed Commander

Obviously you've never tried to hold a Kzinti down and clip his tail!!!    _________________ Commander, Battlegroup Murfreesboro

 GPD for 3E makes note that the SFU Kzin don't have tails and have cat-ears, not Niven's "parasol" ears. (This also means they don't match TAS.) P. 31, right col, last para. |

				I would be so all over an SFB miniatures game!  I think it would really appeal.  I would recommend 6mm or 15mm given that the scale of SF Marines is platoon/company.
