Hello, soon I will start a project in 1/72 scale and I am looking for sailors in 25 mm. The age to represent is the Middle Ages, around the year 1460. If someone can provide some information, I would be grateful. Greetings,

Any unarmed medieval figures would do. |

in 1/72 scale and I am looking for sailors in 25 mm. 25mm are quite a bit bigger than 1/72. The equivalent of 1/72 is 20mm. |

It's all in the draft phase, so I'm open to 20 mm too. |

I thought someone made a 1/72 sailor set. Look at the Plastic Soldier Review. |

Red Box makes 4 or 5 sets of 16th/17th century sailors in 1/72 if that helps theredbox.com.ua |

That's what I was thinking of. |

The Red Box sailors I saw were not from the 1460's but roughly 100 years later, if that makes a huge difference. |

"The equivalent of 1/72 is 20mm." No. The equivalent of 1/76 is a figure 20mm in height. |

Actually….
A 20mm man in 1/76th scale is 1.52m or about 5 foot
and in 1/72nd scale he is 1.44m or almost 4 foot 9. 25mm is 1.8m or just short of 6 foot tall (5'11") Of course it all depends on how tall you think medieval sailors were. \Pedant mode off\

Average height of people was shorter back then. Maybe keep that in mind if accuracy is that important to you |

Thanks for all the opinions. I will take it into account when choosing the most ideal brand. I do not want to mix different brands and I would like the boat to have sailors, gunners and some soldiers. Regarding the scale, I have spoken with the client and he has confirmed that he wants to use the 1/72 scale boat in 25 mm games, therefore he has told me that I can mix these two scales. I will try to use a 25 mm brand that makes the miniatures a bit smaller, do you think Foundry would fit this well? |

Don't forget to take basing into account. Big/thick bases can skew the height of everything, and make the 'floor space' a bit cramped… |

Hi ModelJShip, Would any of the following 1/72 sets from RedBox fit to your needings? link link link Best regards, Lluís

Moltes grācies Lluís. Al client, li agradaria les miniatures metāl·liques i no de plāstic. De totes maneres moltes grācies. |

No. The equivalent of 1/76 is a figure 20mm in height. Figures sold as "20mm" will be closer in height to figures sold as "1/72" or "1/76" than any "25mm". |
