Help Needed - Ships Figureheads

[Eric the Shed]

Hi Folks (back in the land of the living - yippee )

Sure this has been asked before but I need to source some ship figureheads - you know the bg old bow plaster thingys...

does anybody do a range? Gods, Neptune, Death, Lions etc or am i going to have to scour the web for something?

cheers

Eric

I have seen a range of 6 different designs on a trade stand at a UK show.

"Grubby Tanks" from Southampton:

He attends a lot of shows in the UK but I can't find anything on his website.

I have one in a box somewhere.  Will post a pic if I can find it over the weekend.

The only figurehead I can think of is this from Reaper...

...it would take a wee bit of converting though.

Eureka do (or did) a mermaid one I think.

Grubby tanks DO have, not only, figureheads but also a whole range of ship bits (e.g. cannons/ lanterns/etc) they are a range previously available from Britannia Miniatures. If there is no mention on Grubby's web page them I recomend you e-mail him. He is not only hard working but a friendly & helpful bloke. Best of luck.
