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 Quote
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. Quote 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. Quote 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.

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. Quote 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. I am sure that the link has been shared here before but just incase anyone missed it. http://www.guzmanshipmodels.com/page19.html Quote http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/4970-hms-enterprise-1774-by-mitchel-shipyard-28-gun-frigate-card-196/
