Hi Everyone
I am just starting with marine related modeling.
I am looking for 1/144 figures that i can use on a U-boat
I have only found this set selling online:
Northstar kriegsmarine static figures set


but the figures are too much alike in posture
so I was wondering if someone could help me find other 1/144 figure sources, German figures preferred but also any other naval figures that I could also modify

Thanks

Hussein

Hello Hussein,

Unfortunately, the NS figures are indeed too static.

Your best bet, as I have done, is to get some Preiser 1:144
US Air Force figures, Airline service figures and Panzer crew
and convert them.



I use these fine figures and convert them to u boats crews.
Working on bridge crews right now....gun crew will follow soon.

Cheers,
Joe
