I also like the idea of sailors with hardhats. Also ballcaps, and no hats at all, in working uniforms, for use on modern ships. One hardly ever wears dress whites and the dixie cup hats while onboard a ship. Of the four full years I served on warships, I'll bet I wore my dress uniform maybe, MAYBE, a half dozen times.

A personal wish list request of mine would be 1/700 modern US Navy sailors in hardhats for shipyard or drydock dioramas.


+1 for shipyard workers. I’ve been considering doing a ship launch diorama and would love to do it with 3D figures, although I’d need a somewhat cost effective way to get a gazillion spectators. I purchased a number of sets of PE people but not convinced that’s workable for a big crowd.

We are thrilled to hear what gazillion means ;) No worries we can help you with hiring the right amount of spectators. We are going to release civilian/rock workers set in the following months.

That's a good point. We are also thinking about some modern crews. The list of ideas for the sets is getting very very loooong :)

Sorry for late reply. Yes we are working on this set but we can't promise it will appear very soon.


That is good news! I am trying to scratch build a steamship/sailing vessel from the 1870's and it needs some 1/350 crew. I will keep an eye open! Looking forward to seeing them.
