Hi Folks,

I was thinking on some alternative crew for the MAS Boat. Anyone built any of the Model Victoria figuers?

I came across these chaps and thought they might be more appropraite than a fighting crew. I could still use a couple of the Italeri set.







These guys are tankers but I wondered if they could double as crew?





Any other good Generic Axis type crew, I'm sure I've seen some around but can't remember where.

Thanks

Al

Hi Al. Royal model have just come out with a couple of figis working on a dock.

Hi John,

Thanks I know the two you mean but they are more American than axis I believe.

Cheers

I don't have pics to show, but it seems like just about any figure in coveralls can pass for a navy crewman of just about any country except Japan ( not a lot of Asian heads). I took the Dragon Flak Artillery Crew and made some life jackets for them . To me they look very believable. I am using them for a scratch built small German patrol boat. Put an American helmet on them paint it grey, extend the pants over the boots and you have a US Navy guy for US landing craft of all sorts. Works for me.....................Al

Hi Alfred,

Yes, I have a couple of potential conversions in mind.
