I have just finished refurbishing my Solent and think a few figures would look good on her, she measures up at 1/12 scale, does anybody know where and if i can get any figures from for this era of lifeboats?  I have seen the modern figures that Speedline do but i dont think the crew wore the same type of clothing during the 60,s and 70,s.

Mnay thanks

Russ

No not at all, the figures are of a high standard and only need slight filling, very impressed with them.

hi
i would love some of those figures anymore available 

[nhp651]

hi dave i don't have the moulds anymore, but a gent called Martin produces them for sale via the Lifeboat Enthusiast Society ( LBES), and the man who normally brings them to shows such as Blackpool and Warwick is a man called Adrian Clutterbuck.
However if you drop a pm to a member on here called Johno 52-11  he might be able to offer a solution to you as to where to get them. I do know that they cost £7.50 each and come with detatched arms and need painting.

cheers mate great if you could

the lad who sells them lives just around the corner from me......but I don't know whether he sells them other than via the LBES, as the LBES and he (he is called martin pritchard...no relation) donates 50% of the cost to the RNLI.

here are some pictures of the crew men as when I used to have them........don't think they have changes any.

[daveorgan]

they would be perfect hope i can locate some

thanks again

[furball]

Okey dokey,

I had a word with Adrian yesterday, and he doesn't sell them remotely, he just sells what he brings to shows etc.

However, Martin's email & phone number are on the packet for each figure, but it's probably not wise to put them out on an open forum, so I'll pm them to you.


cheers

Lance
