My first thoughts would be either Heroics and Ros or possibly Irregular Miniatures although the latter tends to be on multi figures bases.<br /><br />Heroics and Ros sell gun crews which could be used and I am almost certain that you can get 1:350th scale crew figures designed for warships models but I have no details.<br /><br />Something else to think about then!<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-65937303575529958512018-10-25T12:33:14.594+01:002018-10-25T12:33:14.594+01:00It doesn't appear that there are any crew on t...It doesn't appear that there are any crew on the sprues.

Whilst I am interested in coastal combat - certainly enough to want to game it - I reckon that my own needs will be pretty modest in terms of models so the started set and a few add ons should suffice. I am used to having to furnish both sides anyway! I am thinking that merchantmen could be dual nationality anyway.<br /><br />We shall see in due course.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DC<br /><br />David Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-73030099527882066982018-10-16T22:59:25.310+01:002018-10-16T22:59:25.310+01:00It's on my Xmas list surprise, surprise ;)
