I seem to remember a few resin Uboat or Sboat crew figs in 1/35 scale but can't remember who made them (not Italeri). I checked all my favorite on-line stores but they're not listed anywhere. Can anyone help with this?

Thanks. These figs are good, but I remember a bridge crew for either S-boats or U-boats. Maybe they were actually 54mm!

And also http://sbmodels.uk.net/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=1406&category_id=7&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=1

Which comes with an optional head for an s boat captain!

Sure I saw some more somewhere else I'll let U know if I remember.

Oh and andrea miniatures do a whole U boat crew but they are 1/72nd

I really like that Royal Models figure, but at 25lb is a total rip-off. If they sold the figure at half the price without that chunk of Uboat bow it would be reasonable. I'll probably end up using MiniArt panzer crew at work sets for my guys.

Andrea Miniatures had released a 1/32 scale (54mm) resin and PE U-boat with crew awhile back (6' long). They also released the conning tower and deck gun, both with a section of the deck and hull, as well as crewmen, as separate kits. All were rather pricey. Al
