TNG Scaled Figures 1:72

Hi Folks.
I wish to find 3D figures, specifically of generic TNG crew members, not necessarily the famous ones, and in 1:72 scale. I appreciate that they don't exist, and if I had something similar to start with, I would enjoy making the mods to get them there.
I wish to create a 1:72 scale styrene TNG diorama of the shuttlecraft hangars 2 and 3.
What would make a good foundation figure to create a TNG-styled uniform? A character in mechanics' coveralls? A jumpsuit? Unpressurised flight suit? One-piece underwear? Acrobat? I would then add some apoxie sculpt, or something similar, to make the foundation model better resemble a TNG uniform.
1:72 scale would limit the details I could achieve, as 1" = 6 feet. So, the figures I need would be 1" tall.
Perhaps the railroad model HO scale (1:87) would provide adequate figures for a 1:72 scale Star Trek diorama?
I've checked the usual suspects (CG Trader, Shapeways, Gambody, ETSY, TEMU, Cults 3D, Preiser, Bachmann, Cozmic Scale Models, Italeri, Tamiya, Hasegawa, Airfix, Zvezda, etc., etc.) without success.
I need your help to find 3D files of male/female characters sitting, standing, walking, kneeling, going up/down stairs, holding a tray/tool, etc. Your opinions and suggestions are welcomed.
Thanks kindly,
Dan
 
The title was meant to say 1:72, not 1/71! My bad.
Fixed that for you. :techman:

As for you question: I’ve seen some online miniature builders use HeroForge to create the base for 3D printed mini figures. It’s more geared towards Fantasy settings, but I guess with some customization work they could very well be turned into TNG style figures. Mind you, I haven’t tried the site myself, but as I said, plenty creators seem to use them, so maybe you’ll find them helpful too. :)
