Crew Figures for 1:25 Scale Robbe and Ro-Marin Radio-Controlled Boats

Crew Figures for 1:25 Scale Robbe and Ro-Marin Radio-Controlled Boats

When building a Robbe or Ro-Marin RC boat, most focus on hulls, electronics, fittings, and fine detailing. But one finishing touch can completely transform the look of your model: crew figures. Adding a captain, engineer, or deckhand doesn’t just make a model more realistic — it tells a story.

Why Add Crew Figures?

  • Scale realism – A human figure immediately sets proportions and makes your model feel alive.

  • Storytelling – A skipper at the helm or a deckhand hauling ropes doesn't just add a human touch to your model; it adds narrative and life to your creation, sparking your imagination.

  • Individuality – Two builders may have the same kit, but unique crew figures make each boat distinct.

  • Diorama potential – Perfect for display alongside dockside scenes, harbours, or working vessels, these crew figures open up a world of creative possibilities for your model, sparking excitement and igniting your creative spark.

1:25 Scale Challenges

Finding the correct figures for a 1:25 scale can be tricky. While 1:24 is more common in cars and trucks, and 1:32 dominates railways, true 1:25 nautical crew figures are harder to source. That’s where Jager Hobby comes in, offering a wide range of maritime crew and accessories on a 1:25 scale.

Jager Hobby Crew Figures for 1:25 Scale

Jager Hobby designs and produces finely detailed scale figures that can be ordered in multiple scales, including 1:25 — perfect for Robbe and Ro-Marin RC boats.

Here are some standout examples:

TG24 – Ship’s Engineer

  • A workman figure posed in overalls, ideal for engine-room or deck scenes.

  • Available in 1:25 (~72 mm tall).

  • Great for adding a technical crew presence to your model.

TG62 – Lobster Boat Captain

  • A commanding skipper figure, suited for the helm or pilot house.

  • Available in 1:25 scale.

  • Instantly sets the tone of your vessel with authority and character.

TG24D – Crew Figure with Newsboy Cap

  • A more casual crew member, perfect for deck activity or background roles.

  • Works well paired with a skipper and engineer for a balanced crew.

Painting & Mounting Tips

  • Primer first – Always prime resin or 3D-printed figures for better paint adhesion.

  • Use washes & highlights – Bring out clothing folds, boots, and facial detail.

  • Matte finish – Keeps figures looking natural, not shiny.

  • Mount securely – Pin feet with a brass rod and epoxy to withstand vibration and handling.

  • Placement – Spread figures naturally around the boat: one at the helm, one working on deck, one seated or leaning on the rail.
