    Can anyone point me to a source for scale figures from this time period? Been looking around, but coming up blank in 1:48 for Napoleanonic naval period. Thanks, Greg.

    I'm putting my son's playmobile figures on deck with bloodbags tied around them. Bonus points for knocking away the crew.

    From other modeling forums, there doesn't seem to be a lot of figurines available for this time period in this scale. A poster in RCGroups suggested modeling in 1/16th scale since appropraite figures were available in that scale. 1/16th might be a little big for us though. :)

    Errr... that'd make Minerva about 12 feet long. Not quite big enough that I'd have to register her to operate, but way too big for my pond :)
