Hi
I'm building a harbor and I need seagulls in HO. Preiser make seagulls, pigeons, birds of prey in one pack and one MRR article mentioned Sheepscot Scale but they don't make them anymore. Anyone know of anyone who manufactures segulls?
Thanks!
Musket Miniatures offers HO scale seagulls among other wild animals.
No image included, I'm afraid.

I think these are Musket Miniatures seagulls:
They are metal castings on a sprue, and come unpainted. The Preiser ones are more detailed and come painted. The set of water fowl from Preiser does have a lot of nice models in it, particularly the swans and hawks.

How much detail do you need in a seagul. If it is in the foreground, yeas, but if in the background, just throwing some winged spitballs at your back deop should do the trrick.

Modeltechstudios have them too.

I think Gerry Leone did an article in a recent MR mag on making birds from solder; slightly pinched and shaped. Should work for seagulls as long as they aren't up front and personal!

Seagulls are one of the many birds listed.

I have many types but finally got some Preiser for cheap so had nothing to lose. They are far superior to the others but beware, the one trouble with most of the fiquere companys is they are all over in paint quality. I have some very nice WS fiqures and some I e-bayed that were garbage. Seen some garbage Preiser fiqures too and not from their cheap line.
