Anyone know of some 20mm (or 1/72nd) scale miniatures that can be used for modern, 'unarmed', commercial seamen? The sort of crew that you might find on a fishing boat, trawler, or a freighter? I know there's some out there in 28mm, but I'm looking for 20mm. Any thoughts? -David G.

Figures in overalls/boiler suits, probably painted orange, are what you'll be looking for. That is the universal costume of Merchant Seamen now. Most are from SE Asia. Officers would once have worn uniform, until about 15 to 20 years ago, but would mostly now be in normal European civilian dress. They could be European, or again, SE Asian. This information is about Merchant Ship crews, I'm less certain about fishing boats.
