Thank you for your comments RAGIII, KiwiZac, AngryJazz and Nigel.
I didn't invent the foil technique, I checked out UTube videos and thought this was the most practical and time effective method:

Although there are 7 crew members I don't think all of them would be on the deck at the same time and I opted for 3. These are 3d printed NeOmega figures which I sprayed white then brush painted the skin and hair. Uniform was painted in WW2 Panzer grey and given 2 washes of thinned black. Flesh and hair was washed with thinned brown. The commander 'Long John Silver' lost a leg when I clamped him in order to be painted. Somehow the clamp shot him like a bullet in one direction and his leg in another. I found Long John Silver under the radiator but to my amazement, after an hour's worth of unsuccessful looking, I found LJS's leg in the dustpan after sweeping the carpet later. I will attach it at the last minute in case it propells itself across the room again.
Thanks for looking in, Alan.
