Tramp Steamer crew coming up

I'm busy painting up a tramp steamer crew (to help round up my King Kong collection of characters.) These aren't proper naval crew models, nor are they conversions. They are simply some Copplestone figures I picked out of different ranges to represent a motley group of armed crewman (and a captain and first mate.)

I still need to find a big ape. There are a couple I'm looking at. I need to decide on Kong's size, which differs from 18 to 50 feet. I may stick to the 18-foot version, being easier (and cheaper) to find.
