brightonseagulls Posted April 5, 2023 Share #1 Posted April 5, 2023 I haven't posted for a while but am now in the land of the retired so have got more time to build more ships. Can someone advise please. I am currently building the OCCRE Bounty with the cut away decking. It suggests that the scale is 1/45 and I was wondering if anyone knew of somewhere where i could purchase 1/45 scale ( or 1/48 possibly) figures that I could manipulate to resemble sailors who would have been on this ship? Any advice would be most appreciated. Cheers dave mtaylor and AJohnson 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccoyle Posted April 5, 2023 Share #2 Posted April 5, 2023 Welcome back, Dave! But as a diehard Everton fan, I think I'm sworn to dislike you? 🤔 Hope not -- being from the other side of the pond, I'm not sure how seriously EPL fans take these sorts of things. Cheers!

rcmdrvr Posted April 5, 2023 Share #3 Posted April 5, 2023 1/48 scale is very popular in the plastic models You should be able to "google" 1/48 scale figures and get a good number of returns.

Wawona59 Posted April 5, 2023 Share #7 Posted April 5, 2023 Hi Dave. Welcome to MSW (again). In the plastic modeling world, I believe Eduard, Tamiya and Airfix offer scale ground crew figures which could be modified to your needs. It might be worth a shot.
