She's a beauty!
With that boat, and Andy's customs as well as EsDoc's Cerberus and all the other great naval customs (both ships and crews) - I am seeing the Aubrey/Maturin novels come to Playmo life right before my eyes! :D Very cool!

thanks Richard, Customizer & Macgayver!
having seen a couple of threads with these (french?) naval crews, i will make a couple of the crews myself :)
would you say the Period was around 1790s?

... would you say the Period was around 1790s?
Difficult to say, Cheng ... As you know, naval uniforms were slow to change, unlike their army counterparts. However, if I were going to guess, I would say just a little bit later. Say around 1812-1816 or so.
Others on this board may disagree with me ... ;)
All the best,
Richard

thats great...my red coats & french naval troops are supposedly around 1805...so they can fit into the same shelf...i'm running out of space :D
dont worry if there may be different opinions...that whats our forum is for...(not just 'show and tell' :D ) ...i remember starting a thread on historical accuraccy and i was so amazed my the mix of comments and opinions on history put forward by many members.

I also think that they are English, the veils of the frigates behind plane leaves it supposed. But only MacGayver can confirm it. :wink:

Hello, Cheng ...
Please remember, these are "Playmobil toy soldiers" and they can be whatever we want them to be :lol:
However, my British sailors for this period look a little different ... ;)

yes Richard,
i keep reminding myself :D
(but for me they must at least be recognisable..like yours in those british navy blue coats are definitely the correct ones for me...not very clear...customed from Yankees i see? I just tarred 6 of those yellow hats last night and added white plastic ribbons...thanks! )
