Does anyone know of a UK source for 15mm scale armoured/shielded trolls please?

I use 10mm scale Copplestone Trolls as Half Trolls in the Harad or Mordor ranks. Some of them have shields and a scaled skin. I use some Games Workshop Warhammer Orcs for Mountain trolls at 15mm scale. I use Oathmark Black Orcs that make good sized 15mm scale trolls with armour and shields. I had thought to use the old citadel Uruks for armoured Trolls but having got a couple they look too big. Lastly there's a plastic range at 1:72 scale (20mm) – they have a similar look to the trolls in the film. I can't remember the name of the company. I can recommend you consider joining the Facebook page called 'Wargaming in Middle Earth.' There are a couple of collectors there who do 15 and 10mm scale. That site is dedicated to alternative miniatures to Games Workshop (it's one of their rules). A picture of the plastic trolls was posted there in last week scaled against 10mm infantry but they looked far too big.
Well, thank you kindly sir. I will look into these excellent prompts.
