Title: Sources for 28mm British sailors?
Post by: PaulRPetri on 11 April 2013, 10:39:53 PM

Hello Gents,

Just wondering if any of you have some suggestions for 28mm Sailors to use on a few of my clouships. I see a lot of sources for gunners but not really any for just crew types and officers.

Thanks again for any help.
Paul

The Naval Brigade from Perry Miniatures might be of use to you.

I don't know what style You are exactly looking for, but for cloudships I would suggest the Empress Miniatures Maori Wars naval brigade for the Retro-look.
Otherwise there are tons of colonial era british naval brigade from many manufacturers
Perry miniatures, Pulp, Copplestone, Foundry  and whatnot
