A question from a friend. Is there any company that makes 15mm Standing Oarsmen that would work for the 16th-17th century? With Respect

I don't know of any specific figures but guys like the one one second from left in the bottom row in this Minifigs set of artillerymen should make for a pretty straightforward conversion:
auction Or the fourth guy along in this set:

thank you for the suggestion, but I did not define well. The oarsmen should be in the act of pulling oars (in certain types of ships you had to have them standing). |

oh I see what you mean. Sorry mate! That is a good catch! |

No worries. Minifigs are generally cast in a fairly soft alloy so it is pretty easy to make minor changes to the angle of the arms. It says on the website they will sell single figures so your friend might be able to get the figures he needs without having to stump up for lots of sets of artillerymen. |

Artillery crew pushing their piece might be a good bet too – at the start of a pull the pose should be virtually the same as pushing? |
