Title: Boat crews
Post by: william08098 on August 19, 2011, 01:03:21 am

Where is a good place, actualy any place, to purchase crew members for various scale boats?  I am in need of some 1/24th figures and also 1/32nd.  These would be of working crew, not military. I am in the states, but have no problem in purchasing overseas if the pricing is resonable.

Hi William08098.  Here are some nice 1:22 scale figures from Polar. I am presuming that it is a modern boat.

And these from Preiser.

George Turner used to supply them too, but think he's vanished off face of the earth, Dave.  :-))
