Title: Scale figures
Post by: Eddy Matthews on June 13, 2008, 10:12:11 PM: I stumbled across the following website whilst searching for suitable figures for my model of the Marchioness of Lorne, and thought others may be interested in it. They keep a vast range of figures, both military, railway, and civilian - They certainly aren't the cheapest, but when you just have to have those finishing touches, money doesn't really matter ;)

Not the friendliest of websites to use, but it's worth spending a bit of time searching it....

as the "LORNE" never was a busy boat on the Holy Loch run!
So much for only managing 12 knots in service!

Yup! Robbe do a range of 1:20 scale clothed figures - Westbourne Models in the UK stock them, but I'm sure there will be other suppliers.... http://www.westbourne-models.com/erol.html#4842X0
