JRB9019 Posted March 22, 2021 Share #1 Posted March 22, 2021 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! thibaultron 1 Quote John Current Build: H.M.

cotrecerf Posted March 22, 2021 Share #2 Posted March 22, 2021 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.
