hi as far as i can see the only naval figures that are available are the naval brigade from the sudan range and the navy crew in the ww2 range. first question are there any more? and does anyone have picture of these ?
thanks
jon
The WW1 East African range has some neat Imperial German sailors code GEA4, I think Vic (Grumpy Old Man) posted an image in photos section of my painted saliors in VBCW (no other war comes close) scenario- with scratch built vessels- around August ? last year. Don't know if the image is still live on the forum.
The basic sailor kit does not change much over the years, and the Imperial uniform can be tweaked/filed/painted to resemble quite a few other navies up to WW2.

Hi
The best pic of the WW1 East African sailors is here:-

There are French sailors available in the FPW range (FPW12) but they have the cherry tart pompom:-

There are Russian naval riflemen but I haven't seen those. SV19

The picture is just better because it is closer and shows more detail of the figures, I wasn't making any comment on your painting (the view is lovely in my glass house :D). Actually I'm just having a look at them again and wondering how hard it would be to head swap some tin hats so I could use them as both RN and USN landing parties in my Imagi-Nations - true genericism ;D ;D. The Trumpeter river boat has me inspired now and I may just have to reread the Sand Pebbles. I have the Osprey on Yangtze river boats somewhere around too.

thanks for that we are just starting out on the AVBCW route and fancied some sailors (that could be phrased better) as my faction it will allow some usage of the corvette and u boat models.
looks like the german sailors are the way forward, thanks.
