RR figures are viable. You could also learn to sculpt your own. I can't see that it would take too much effort at 1:200. I would try epoxy clay, if you go this route.

Do the RR run the same scale ?, and if not do you know the size that matches 1-200.

Just search for the different RR scales available.

G'day Leslie,

For an informed answer I encourage you to post your question over on Model Shipwrights (MSW), Armorama's naval modelling sister-site. You can use your Armorama/Kitmaker user name and password to login.

I'd take a gander at it though and say there are a few photo-etch (yes, seriously: photo-etch crew!) options available to you, but the blokes at MSW will be able to point you in the right direction.

Cheers

Rudi

p.s. what part of beautiful Tassie are you from?
