some period correct 1/6th scale figures are in the works

Nice figures.

Where did you source them?

1/6th scale bodies covered in epoxy-sculpt, heads purchased and then modified.  hope to start getting some paint on them soon, working on a servo powered figure for the engine control position..

worked from period plans and photos of the real engines made by the navy, one photo is an over restored slightly later engine with a piston valve on the HP, one photo of the smallest model, (found in Alaska, it was grease packed and coated for storage)
