Russel, you aren't the only one!. Apparently 1:24 scale is the same as "G" scale in the model railway world. I presume the "G" stands for "Garden" railway. Ages ago when I first started looking around for figures for my ferry I found a site that did just what I wanted (a Priesser site). Never been able to find it since. Unpainted resin or plastic....no white metal for me as I need too many people and 50 or 60 white metal figures would be too heavy. I would be interested to get any feed-back from you if you find some....likewise from me. BY.

Thanks. But although they are the correct scale I'm sure that they produce unpainted ones...just can't find them any longer! Ta for answering.BY.

George Turner does loads of 1:24  figures

Price per pack of three £9.90 + £1.50 P&P UK inland/ £3-00 P&P overseas (per order).

Excellent resin figures, very sharp detail.

I use the G scale railway figures on my tug, to get these to look like naval personnel would take some serious remodelling, HSL Mouldings seem to be the better figures judging by different people but would like to see some before commiting.

Thanks

I see Macs mouldings do some torpedos and hatches but does anyone know where i can get the Torpedo cradles ?  Struggling on finding fittings for the Perkasa although i have ordered the two guns from Deans.....

Thanks
