I have mentioned this kit before in this forum but here goes... IMAI made a series of figures for the Cutty Sark in 1/80th. The box says they are good for 1/100..1/120 as well. You get 60 figures in the box!!!!!!!!!!!! They are on six sprues so you get 10 poses repeated. The figures are doing everything you would expect on a sailing ship,hauling ropes,climbing the rigging steering,etc. The kit is No B-2432-600. Dress is appropriate for any era,i.e /18th/19th Century. I bought them in London last year but they are usually only available in Japan! Maybe one of our Japanese based members can hunt it down for you. They certainly make a ship come alive.

Jim,
I'm excited about a set like that. I would LOVE to get ahold of that. Can you tell me what IMAI stands for?

Hi.. IMAI is a japanese kit manufacturer. We have members in Japan so maybe if you post again for help from japan you can a reply. They are a good bunch of people here.

Don't worry if your only 2 or 3 tenths off scale. Many of todays figures are based on modern height averages. People were shorter back then.

At least thats my excuse.
