Like the post states I am looking for 28mm Sailor figures. Either late 19th or early 20th Century. I want figures that would represent German sailors at that time. I also want British, American, and perhaps Belgian. It would be good to have figures that are suitable for being placed working a gun or a Gatling type weapon. Shore parties are also a want. I am familiar with the Perry and Copplestone British Sailor figures and I think Eureka makes some generic looking sailor figures that are firing deck guns. I am not sure if there is much difference in the attire that sailors of differing countries wore during this period. Oh and of course I need officer figures both commissioned and NCOs. Thanks, Kim |

Askari miniatures makes german sailors in pith helmet and soft cap.I believe Foundry also makes German officers for the period and british sailors.Old glory I believe also emake sailors in their boxer rebellion range. |

Sailor uniforms in this period were generally fairly similar (there were some headgear differences, though), so if you find one set you like, you could just do a modified paint job and make them whatever nation you wanted. Rob |

Brigade do some German sailors for East Africa that would suit many theatres . |

I had forgotten about the Brigade WW I in Africa figures they are perfect. Also the recommendation from Katzbalger about Old Glory in the Boxer Rebellion range are very nice and are part of what I am looking for. Thanks gents! Kim |

I seem to remember someone posted German sailors from Tsuba Miniatures just recently, for use in post-WW1 Germany. |

Oh man those are nice! My only concern with Redoubt is the last time I ordered some of their figures for the ECW it was clear the molds were deteriorating. I have read similar complaints about their ACW line which was one of their best lines. Regardless, I think I will order some of these figures and they have casualty figures! |

I've got their French sailors in my FPW army -great figs with no moulding defects.
link – Redoubt and Foundry and indeed one bloke is a bit of both!
If you take the pom pom off they'd look like the German version but I guess the best fit would be the Austrian ones.

Now without your thread I wouldn't have thought of this and I need some German sailors too.
Thanks very much! |
