Hi I'm trying to find some crew members for my billings White star apparently it's 1/15th scale I can't find any anybody have any tips or no what the actual scale of the boat is? Thanks

Find out what size figure looks right standing under the flying bridge. From this you can work out the scale.
5" would be about 6'-0" at 1:15.

Very strange - all Billings kits are listed with the scale - the White Star is listed as "no Scale"???
So its a case of working it out as Dicky has suggested

I have also used 1/16 scale military figures and modified them.
These work out a bit short, but seeing as they are based on big soldiers, and not everyone is 6ft, not a problem.
