Kurt Johnson Posted December 8, 2013 Share #1 Posted December 8, 2013 Does anyone know a source of 1/48th scale figures other than Prieser? It seems the other scales have more to offer. I'm not quite ready to make my own completely, but feel comfortable modifying ones. Kurt kvnrykvn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurt Johnson Posted December 8, 2013 Author Share #4 Posted December 8, 2013 that thread really wasn't much help. I modeled military miniatures for many years and had my turn at railroading and other than Prieser (who's type of plastic I don't like to work with) there isn't much out there. I thought maybe someone stumbled on something out there. That isn't cartoonish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtaylor Posted December 8, 2013 Share #5 Posted December 8, 2013 There was HAT but it seems like everyplace is always "out of stock". And yes, I agree, most companies stuff looks to be cartoonish. Be patient, perhaps someone has turned up something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurt Johnson Posted December 14, 2013 Author Share #7 Posted December 14, 2013 Let me know how that works out, that's what I had in mind. Who makes them? I have looked at many, trying to envision their potential, but nothing struck just right. Kurt WackoWolf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twintrow Posted December 14, 2013 Share #8 Posted December 14, 2013 (edited) A few of us have used the tank crew set I think from Tamiya 1/48th. The poses work well for ships crew. Only minor modifications. Should be available on line or most Hobby Shops. Photo shows a couple on my Fair American. Just painted, already in a good pose. See Helmsman and crew member working on the cannon.

JPZ66 Posted February 10, 2014 Share #9 Posted February 10, 2014 Cornwall Model Ship has 35mm ships crew figures... Sailing ships crew. 35mm works out about right for 1/48-1/50 scale. The figures were reasonably priced too. Joe WackoWolf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
