Looking for a large scale US Navy sailor figure 1/12 or ~6" tall (~150 MM?). Preferably not an action figure, but just standing. Must be in WWII to Korean War winter dress uniform; i.e. blouse with flap, neckerchief, bell bottoms, white Dixie cup or blue Donald Duck hat. Pea Coat optional. Not a GI Joe sort of thing with ill-fitting doll house clothing. It can be a kit, or a cast model, and painted or unpainted. Don't bother sending me to the US Navy Memorial store, they want an arm and a leg ($85.50, plus $4.92 tax, plus shipping.) for an 8" bonded bronze figure. Although it looks well made, I may only paint it anyway. If worse comes to worse, I may bite the bullet and spend the $100 or so. Barring that, could any similar 1/12, 150 MM, plastic model figure be converted easily?
