Hello William

I certainly wouldn't pay that sort of money.

A simple Google search of '1.12 scale lifeboat figures' will reveal a treasure trove of cheaper (and better) items for example have a look at Speedline Models **LINK**

Hi Paul,…what a difference…I, sent a message to my friend…and ..he,s over the moon that he can get a full crew, for half of what that guy on ebay,s asking for…4…i think the seller on ebay is a bit of a chancer…he,s advertising..a Scharnhorst.@ £825…then goes on to say in the description…he thinks its a Bismarck…….and further down says he,ll accept £265…or there abouts….and looking at the Scharnhorst/Bismarck…its needs a good bit of TLC…which invariably costs more money….my friend, sends his thanks for your link
