And the crew - doffed cap to John W Reid for inspiration from his recent thread of crew aboard a man of war
.
I scratch built the crew (dont know what scale the n guage figures are - but certainly not naval of this era) - more lego looking.
crew up front with a bosun heading forward and a marine walking about, cleaning crew at main mast has one on his knees, two stood about, one with a mop and a bosun keeping an eye on them, the nearest marine is at the top of the stairs, captain forward of the binnacle and a crew man, manning the wheel though the orlop hides most of him, the white stripe to the left is his leg. There is an officer walking back to the orlop and also on the poop deck making his way to the marines who unlike Johns crew are still not ready.
Again apologies for the quality
