I have been asked to place a Royal Navy crew aboard a 1:96 scale, wooden H.M.S. Victory model, and am having difficulty locating figurines of this scale.
Seeking 1:96 Scale, 16th Century, Royal Navy Officers and men.

best regards John,
The only suitable size sailor figures I found are French for L Hermione La Fayette. Will be odd to populate with them British ship.
Here should be correct sailor figures but they are oversized:

Tythis site, they sell them in sizes 22mm, 25mm and 35mm,
.
.
Unfortunately nothing can be found. Closest are 22mm Amati figures from Cornwall Boats recommended by Neptune. This transfers into 2 meter giants at 1:90 scale. I hesitate buying them as their depictions in their catalog are so poor I do not know what I am going to get. Also selection is very limited.
H0 scale (or 1:87) is the main scale used for model trains, so close.

After months of fruitless searching, I got an Elegoo Mars 3d resin printer to do exactly this! I'm now playing around with software to make figures for my models. This is a pseudo-naval officer made at HeroForge.com, downloaded as a .stl file and printed at 30mm, and then rescaled to roughly 1/96. (I say “pseudo” because this naval-looking officer was made using their fantasy figure creator) Here they are with my 1/96 HMS Triton cross section (In progress). I'll share what I can after a bit more playing around. My goal is to make realistic figurines working a British man-o-war, circa 1770-1820.

Hi Papa_Raigin. I just purchased these 5 sailors per your link. Let us see how they look as I get them.
Also I had purchased these French sailors from Artesania Latina La Fayettee.

I was looking very closely at Preiser 74090 figures used by some great modellers.

Hi GabeK. I am sure 3D printing is the way of the future. Great job on this capitain figure. It is ideal to print parts at any scale you want.
Here are 1/96 US Navy sailor figures. I bought a set of these to change to French sailors for 1636 La Couronne. They may be exactly what you're looking for.

Thank you. They are out of stock currently however.
I found this site where they have figures you want. Did anyone order from them?

I tried 3D printing 28mm figures and they came out almost unusable, I can’t imagine 18mm figures. I think you need cast/injection molded to get any reasonable detail at that size. Just my own experience when trying to get Scottish 17th century figures. I finally found what I was looking for here Drum & Flag They have a great selection. Though I do have to admit your resin printed figure looks pretty good.
I'm eager to see your results. Good luck!
I will be quite a while before I get to the miniatures. Need to finish the Bluenose, then build my Atlantis Shuttle model before I start on HMS Fly in the New Year. I will do a build log with that kit. I’m looking forward to creating the diorama depicting my ancestors highjacking this ship. Drunken Scotts doing foolish things.
