Hi there all Shipbuilders!
I would like to ask you all if you know of any figures of English soldiers for the HMS Victory in 1/160 Airfix kit??
I build this kit a year ago (sorry no pics available) and i recently came up with an idea to create a dio with it!(a harbor of the time with some buildings and people doing lot's of work there)
I'll post the plan of it soon enough and some pics of the ship!
Please if anyone knows of some figures let me know!
Thanks in advance!
Cheers!

Hi George!

I think it might be difficult to find the figurines you need...
Preiser or Woodland Scenics N Gauge figurines, but then they would need to be transformed, one by one...since there aren't any "period" figures!

Or you could try and find 10mm wargaming figurines

That is true Skipper!
It is very difficult to find these specific figures!
I have civilian figures from preiser that i will use and i also found some horse mounted soldiers in N sclae but not English!
They were italians and French figures and i suppose they were from the napolleonic period!
Would they fit to my ship if painted in English colors?
