Title: Italian sailors 1890
Post by: grotuz on 27 January 2014, 01:24:27 AM

Old Glory has some Italian Sailors in their Boxer Rebellion but I am always a little hesitant to go that route if there are alternatives.

Any suggestions for alternates?

I'm also looking for any color uniform plate for same.

You could probably use foundry or perry british sailors,hats are pretty c lose,i used old ral partha,but the cost for perry or foun dry,is a lot more.

Thanks, those look nice but Redoubt tend to be larger sculpts and I don't think they would fit in.

Hello Grotuz
In case you're interested  I have a few surplus OG Italian sailors, probably primed, to exchange with other colonial minis.

Thanks to everyone who responded.

It looks like I will use British Sailors as the uniform and kit seem to be very close.
