Sailors: 28mm 1880-1945 approx.

I found some with mostly open hands and beards. They looked like British sailors.
---
Now confound it, I can't remember the manufacturer so I can add some crew abord our Colonial gunboats.
---
Anybody know the manufacturer?
It was not Riveresco.

Respectfully,
Bill

Lots of different sailors in the Old Glory Boxer Rebellion range:

I believe Brigade Games has some as well:

Anyone know if any of the Old Glory figs would make tolerable RCW sailors?

Try Reviresco ?

Travellera16 May 2012 11:55 p.m. PST

Eptingmike,

If you are not picky they would but if you want Russians the options from Brigade Games and Copplestone are much better quality

Brigade Games – under C19th Gangsters, 'Daybreak Boys' River Pirates

If you need British style sailors, Bob Murch from Pulp plans to release a new pack :
link

Tiger Miniatures has also another set of sailors open handed
link
and sand pebbles type sailor parties (US this time):
link
you may also use the rereleased houston crew and ship's fittings by the virtual armchair general
link

for deck crews and artillery crews you may also use the oldglory boxer rebellion set naval artillery crews
link
(Be careful this is a multinational pack and figures supplied at random, that means that you may get some types that you might not want. The pack includes types suitable figures for british, german and french types.)

Eureka has some posed as gun crew plus landing party. Photo's help.

@Travellera
I was looking at Old Glory as I am already planning on using their WW1 Russians so was looking for compatible figures.
The Copplestone and Brigade stuff is very nice, though!

Thank you everyone,
NC01 Naval ratings is the set I could not remember here:
recreationalconflict.com
These are Tiger Miniatures available in the USA at Recreational Conflict.

Under Tiger Miniatures scroll down to NAVAL.

Bob Murch's naval chaps will find duty aboard our gunboats too. Excellent models. Prodigiously well done.

Dear ge2002bill,

You might want to look at Houston's Naval Guns & ship Fittings which include several crew figures, including some carrying one of three general sizes of shells, a set of fire fighters, as well as survivor figures. All dressed as generic sailors of your era and at the lowest prices in town for 25/28mm figs.

If curious, please visit link and scroll down to WC-31-37 to see photos.

Best of luck to you, Sir!

Some figures in Artizan's pulp range that may be useful

Durando18 May 2012 4:59 a.m. PST

Try Askari Miniatures

If the round hats are kind of narrow and they are true 25's they are RAFM.
