ť Topic: What 103 Class Crew do you want?
http://www.ptboatforum.com/cgi-bin/MB2/netboardr.cgi?cid=101&fid=102&tid=2860

If Italeri does release a crew set for the 103 Class boat which type of crew wou.ld most appeal to you? A combat crew on patrol or a crew in casual dress at rest?

Cheers

I would prefer a casual crew. That way you could make a Diorama if you wish. I would like to see the figures the way the real guys were in the hot humid air of the Pacific. Some of the figures in shorts, some in pants, some with Pith Helmets on, some with green marine fatigue hats, boondockers, things like that. Then you could really have fun painting them. Have the figures in different poses too, a few sitting down, some in the position of working, things like that.

A bunch of skinny, half dressed sailors, and one that looks like JFK.

A few bare ass native women would really add to the realism of your Diorama as well, lol..........

I have two unassembled sets of those figures. Ihe quality of casting and the fetail are pretty good.

One of these days I'll get them together for my long planned diorama.

Relaxed -- docked -- performing maintenance on weapons, prepping for patrol.

Both MTO and PTO.
