Mr C, you are indeed a genius.

That detail is fantastic.

And you did a great paintjob as well!

[Ben90]

Yes, looks fantastic!

[Santi Pérez]

Although naval modelling is not one of my favourites, it's always a pleasure for the eye to enjoy the superb ships and crews of the Ancient Ages born from the mastery of Mr. Cryns.

My respects, Sir!

Santi.

[Konrad]

A masterpiece!
My deepest respect.

Thank you so much for the nice feedback dear M C Dodson, Mabo, Santi Pérez, Ben90 and Conrad.

New in 2024 and already available are two scale 1:72 Germano-Roman dugout canoes based on the archaeological finding nr.5 at Zwammerdam, Nederland. Paddling and punting Germanic crew members are in the planning and will be available later this year.

New in 2024 but still in progress is the Gallo-Roman rowers and helmsmen set to crew the Zwammerdam 6 Rhine barge 2nd c. AD.

These boats look good, and the rowers look even better!

And it is a great advantage for the diorama builder that you devise your ship and boat models complete with crew. I always find it frustrating when ship models come without any accompanying figures; Zvezda for instance could have provided some generic crew figures for their ancient war galley series, but unfortunately didn’t bother. And the Roman sailors set by Orion, for many years the only available set for such purposes, does not really convince me…

Fantastic ships and crew Mr Cryns. You are an artist!

[Crynsminiaturen]

Thank you so much dear sberry and Huib for the nice words.

Crynsminiaturen is preparing a new range of scale 1:72 Nelsons Royal Navy Sailors for the period 1795-1805 (from Genoa till Trafalgar) It is in coöperation with Wolfgang Meyer/Geschichte in Miniaturen with its new diorama project The Passenger which will be a combination of landscape, figures, boats and ships.

Here is a preview of Royal Navy rowers in different poses. Its a testcast in resin due to matching rowing boats with rower figures before the production process starts. The final sets of sailors will be available in white metal.



In the future planning are:
Sailors pulling ropes
Sailors pushing the capstan
Sailors in the mast
Sailors cleaning the deck
Sailors repairing the ship
Sailors rowing boats
Sailors loading the ship

Quite amazing figures. Detail, poses - everything is just so real.

Not the era I collect, but I agree: amazing figures!
