It's not on the list for this year, but yeah, for Mystri Island, I will make them. |

I should add though that they will look like actual u boat crew, based on what I'm able to come up with. It's rather hard to find info on their away work appearance. But it's a long way off! |

Hmm. I guess that will be nice for next year. So, does anyone make them now? Dan |

"It's rather hard to find info on their away work appearance." Boiler suits, waterproofs, warm clothes (or hot weather clothes in the Med – shirtsleeves, shorts, sometimes just shorts and a sun hat). Pretty similar to WWII, really, apart from the hats. And the officers almost never allowed themselves to be photographed looking anything other than immaculate, unlike their World War Two counterparts. |

How about Afrika Korps as U-Boat crews for tropical settings? |

Doesn't Osprey's U-Boat Crews have a short section on WW1? |

I guess I'll have to pick up a copy. With all the new interest in 15mm pulp and vsf, I'm just surprised that someone hasn't done them yet. Of course, a waterline wwi sub would't hurt either. Dan |

Yes it does Pyrate Captain, but it focuses on their onboard appearance, not away. Also it's much more WWII oriented. They will be a fun addition to mystri island but there are lots of other things more urgent for that line first. |

I was sure MY Miniatures did a U-Boat Crew but all I can find are: Ger3 Land based Naval Infantry and officer. picture link Cheers

One thing I always remember is that the U-boat crews tended to diverge from official dress a lot because of their relative autonomy from regular lines of ocmmand. I'm sure they all had their dress and official duty uniforms in their lockers. Some Peter Pig figs might be painted to look the part. A peaked cap is a peaked cap and a long coat can be painted like a rainslicker. Russian Officers

picture Sure these are a bit of a stretch, but it depends on how "in the field" you want them to look. I know when I painted my 28mm ones I gave them several colors of pants as well as coats. picture picture |
