1:64 1800-ish Ship's Crew / boatyard members

Hi all,

Having seen examples of the use of model figures on ship builds, I've realised they seem to be the best way for gauging realistic distances and set-up, for example in boom foot-ropes or ratline spacing etc. etc.

I've searched the web and found a couple of examples (e.g. Cornwall Boats or Mantua) but I never seem to find the right figures. Has anyone got a good source for such things (UK preferably)??    

 

Thanks!

Hello John,

you may have a look here: https://www.preiserfiguren.de/. They offer all sorts of figures in various scale sizes. These model figures are offered by some model railway shops as well. I bought some in 1:48 scale some years ago. The can be adopted  quite easily to all historical model eras.

Greetings

I'm glad to see this topic. I wouldn't mind some figures for my modified 1/63 Pride of Baltimore II model
