SPIERA Union Navy figures.

 The Spiera company in Sweden includes Union Navy figures in multiple scales among it's vast inventory. I first chose the 1/32 scale then upgraded to 1/30 scale as it's closer to modern plastic figures such as Conte, TSSD, ans Expeditionary Force. These figures could also be painted as Confederate Navy sailors. 











               A little forced perspective with the 1/32 scale figures.
