Again...N guage model railroad figures are 1/160th scale...the difference in scales for an average 5'9" sailor would be 1/16 of an inch!!

Plastruct.com has just about size figure you could want, most of them are generic figures that will need some kind of work clothes etc...I was really suprised at the selection they had. Go down to the search window and type figures. hope this helped.

Here is what I did with some of the Plastruct figures....

The poses are very static, but they look OK in the bridge. I have been looking at wargames figures, but they all seem to be very strangely proportioned ( Dungeons and Dragons has a lot to answer for!!) and in wild combat poses.

Ah well....

N gauge model railroad scale is 1:160... tall for 1:200 and short for 1:144, but not enough to really make a difference.

Priser also makes figures in "Z" scale - that's 1/220. I used them on my Yamato and they look great. They are actually cast so they are 3 dimensional. Do a net search using Preiser and you will find where you can purchase them.

Good luck,
Paul

Don't know if this will help, but Plastruct sells various size figures including 1:200, that might work for you. You should be able to go to their site and do a search for figures. Let me know if you have any trouble finding it.
