Vic Smeed 1/37 scale E boat, where to get suitable figures?
« on: September 07, 2020, 01:48:45 pm »
Ideally I need an officer looking thro' binoculars, and a deck gun operator.
Anyone any ideas please?

On a 6 foot figure, the difference between 1:35 and 1:37 is about 0.1".  1:35 is a common military model scale, with lots of bits to choose from, 1:37 is pretty much unheard of.  Probably chosen to fit a particular subject on to drawing board.

Thanks guys, no scale marked on Vic Smeed plan, so I Googled length of full size, measured mine, and ended up with 1/37, not realising 1/35 was a standard.
