Title: 1/48 scale figures
Post by: AlexC on August 04, 2019, 10:45:41 pm

Can anyone point me in the direction of suitable 1/48 scale crew figures to suit a Round Table class WWII minesweeper.
I have scoured the net and not found anything suitable... plenty for other scales but not 1/48.

Thanks in advance.

I just bought some 1:32 crew figures from Luke Holden, who  is a supplier on Shapeways.  But he is much cheaper dealing with him direct.  Look over his offerings on his website and if you find something you like, even if it's in a different scale, contact him.  He can easily re-size things.

Thanks Gingyer,
Prices seem reasonable, however, without pictures it's hard to tell exactly what your buying or how good they are.I may just take a chance and buy one to see what they are like and order others if they are good quality.
