Title: Advice re WWII Brit Naval Figs
Post by: huascar on 29 September 2011, 07:19:53 AM
Looking for advice as to whether BR125 Naval crew and BR130 Oerlikon 20mm cannon + naval crew in the WWII range scuplted as 'landed' figures (crew equipped for fighting on land) or are they for adding to boats as 'deck scenery'.

They're in steel helmets and lifejackets, so will quite happily grace the decks!

Hi huascar

I and a few others are using the WW1 German East Africa Sailors as stand-in RN (and other nationalties) landing parties. Picture here.
