Hi Guys,
I haven't post much lately as I'm in Sherman mode at the moment. However, here's a couple of figures I'm just beginning to work on.
Here's two more I spotted that I thought moght convert to RN seamen???
I posted them before but everyone must have been on holiday - any thoughts???
Cheers
Al

errr, they seem to come from the Hornet catalogue if I am gessing right -aren't those Sturmgeschütz crew?
the 2 others near the turret-less Sherman should do the trick !
so that means you are back to your Pier 51?!

Hi jba,
One is a Wolf figure, the British Officer in the Western Desert and the other is the Warriors U boat commander.
I thoought one of the others might be a possible.
I was taking a break from the Pier to build some Shermans, but it's never really gone away. I have new crew members for the trucks and civilians and mixed troops to build. The 2nd goods wagon arrived a few days ago and the coal crane should be here this week.
Lighthouse is coming over next month - some update pics:
I have the fisherman's hut to build, a conversion of the Plus Models Tobacco shack, so things are moving slowly. Work, that horrible thing we have to do has been taking up a lot of my time plus just domestic and everyday things.
Love you latest project it will be stunning.
Cheers

Those look like they could work. I would have to look at some actual photos to make sure.

I like them. I do have one suggestion/criticism. It might just be me, or maybe the photo, but the chap with the overcoat looks like his head is a bit small for his body. It also seems to me that coat should have the toggle type closers, where you put a wooden peg through a rope loop, to close the front. That's the type of overcoat I've seen on RN sailors anyway.
