Title: collecting marines band figures
Post by: hmsantrim on June 15, 2012, 04:59:05 am

   Just something different as an aside from the boats.  "My band of Brothers"  if you like..lol   seems you can only get them on flea bay these days.

look good! what scale are they in? am I right in thinking they are "britains" models? I have some airfix ROYAL Marines,in 1/72nd scale,that I have converted into a  band,but only 5 of them.I plan to use them as a "sunset party" on my HMS Ramillies Battleship,if I ever get her to that stage.

     Hi Mick.
                 Yes they are Britains RM Figs. @ 1:35 scale I came across them perchance while flitting about the flea looking for naval stuff.

I have some more of them which come in set boxes so I can have them stored away. Have a colour party for the USMC but trying to put one of their bands together was kinda like silly money as they seemed harder to get.  I have a set of white metal RM band which may be 1:48 can`t remember but if they are smaller you may be lucky and they breed.  

Have I spoke to you b4 are you the guy from the ramilles asso. that was up the clyde last year to visit the model at John browns yard.

                                          cheers Frank.

 Hi Frank,

The Forum software will put the correct line spacing into your letter. Only use the 'Enter button'  when you want to start a new paragraph. I have readjusted your post above. Hope you don't mind.

Cheers
