28mm Crew for Landing Craft in NWE/Norway
« on: September 04, 2017, 09:18:19 AM »
I'm in the process of assembling some LCAs for NWE and Norway but I find there appears to be a lack of crew for these vessels. I know Grand Manner have crew for their LCA but I have chosen to use the Sarissa LCA.

Does anyone know of suitable figures for such a role? There are RN sailors on Shapeways but none of them are in wet weather gear or what I see as working rig (duffle coats, sea boots etc).
Cheers,

There are a few pulp sailors in working poses, not in foulies though

Definitely want the "foulies" type for Norway.

Perhaps a niche that you can interest a manufactuerer in filling? 
A set of 8-10 sailors in foulies in working poses: 

Pulling warps, smoking, spinning a dit, playign uckers, skiving, climbing ladders and heaving things over the side while the chief's not looking.

Suggestion sent to Black Pyramid who I believe are looking at new lines.

Heads swapped for tin hats?

Bit of green stuff if you fancy adding hoods to the pea-coats and giving the others boots.
