cseybolt Posted July 18, 2013 #1 Posted July 18, 2013 has anyone figured out a paint scheme for these figures? me, a paint wheel and the "box top" will not produce ideal results! they are the addirtional figures to flashipmodels.com constitution fighting top. thx cseybolt
st george Posted July 18, 2013 #2 Posted July 18, 2013 Have you tried contacting Flagship Models. I would think they did a lot of research to make the figures. David Current Build : HMAV Bounty - Amati Next Build : 18th Century Longboat
popeye2sea Posted July 19, 2013 #3 Posted July 19, 2013 Whats wrong with those figures? The Marines are spot on. Take a look at my uniform on my 4th of July on Constitution post. Henry Laissez le bon temps rouler ! Current Build: Le Soleil Royal Completed Build: Amerigo Vespucci
Hank Posted July 19, 2013 #4 Posted July 19, 2013 Gentlemen: Doesn't Osprey Publications have a booklet available on the uniforms of U.S.N. personnel of the War of 1812 period? If so, that might be your solution.

popeye2sea Posted July 19, 2013 #5 Posted July 19, 2013 BTW, we have discovered that in order to maintain a constant rate of fire you need 6 Marines, 5 loading muskets to pass to one sharpshooter. Henry Laissez le bon temps rouler ! Current Build: Le Soleil Royal Completed Build: Amerigo Vespucci
popeye2sea Posted July 19, 2013 #6 Posted July 19, 2013 The only thing I see that may be wrong is the Naval Officer and sailors in the second photo might not be right for in the fighting tops. Henry Laissez le bon temps rouler ! Current Build: Le Soleil Royal Completed Build: Amerigo Vespucci
mitchel Posted July 19, 2013 #7 Posted July 19, 2013 I knew I had seen these figurines before.
