28mm US interwar sailors.

These are Tiger Miniatures US sailors from their Sandpebbles range - based on the 1966 film starring Steve McQueen.  These are from the command and armed sailors packs and painted up nicely.  I would have preferred the dark blue rig, but bit the bullet and opted for the white tropical rig.  The only thing I need to complete are the sleeve rank and officer shoulder insignia.

I must now look out for some suitable RN figures for the era, or possibly slightly earlier Late Victorian.  Tiger Miniatures do some nice cold weather troops for Allied intervention in Russia, British infantry in Pashtuns for cold weather high altitude adventures, and German colonial troops (Schutzstruppen), all of which are tempting.

Thanks for looking.
