I look for a 1/350 scale ship crew for modern ships. Anyone have a clue if there is already an offering for this?

I recently tried these out. They're well-posed and scale out properly to 6" (3mm tall). Unfortunately, the printing material is very brittle, and the base wafer is thick, so when cutting it, the wafer tends to shatter and fragment, instead of separating into strips. Also, the figures tend to separate at their "ankles" instead of at their feet, making them somewhat shorter. In 1/700 I think I'll stick with PE crews.

Thanks for the heads-up Biggs! Good to know. So either be super careful or make a bunch of 5 1/2 tall guys....got it!
