Greetings everyone, Ive searched the entire web I think looking for 1/20 scale US Navy sailors,Sailors in general are hard to find although I justed posted some sites that will help others,found them during my searches. I need some advice(dont we all from time to time) the boats 1/20 do you think either 1/24 scale or 1/18 figurines would look best??? found some in both scales ,problem here 1/24 guys would be roughly 5 foot tall in scale,1/18 guys would be roughly 6 foot 5…opinions…thanks Alan
Hey Alan … I would tend to think that the 1/18 figures would be your best bet. It’s closest to the sacle that you want.
Just say your PT Boat was crewed by a hearty bunch of 6 footers. [^][^]
Take the 1/18 figs and do a little surgery, above and below knees and elbows. Won’t take much to get them down to 5’10".
Also, I think Tamiya made (makes?) some race car pit crew figs in 1/20. Would take a little work on uniforms but adding some life jackets would probably hide a lot.
thanks for your input guys,would really like to have some more,I feel most boats cars,planes etc need great figurines to “bring them to life” and its also a model with in a model
[:D] Im going to use a combination of modified 1/18 figurines,some new 1/20 scale tamiya pit crew figurines and maybe some from scatch(hope they dont look like something from Dawn OF THE DEAD) and will post some pics as Iget along…
Post some pics as you modify them. Would be interesting to see.
