lmagna Posted February 26, 2020 #3 Posted February 26, 2020 It has been my experience that figures in this scale are very hard to find. Especially non English figures.

BLACK VIKING Posted February 26, 2020 #9 Posted February 26, 2020 Very nice. Just wondering if you will be producing these in 1-64 scale as I would be the first to bye Martyn Knocklouder and mtaylor 2 Quote
Moxis Posted February 27, 2020 #10 Posted February 27, 2020 I wonder if it would be possible to create seamen in 1/64 scale and WW 1 or 2 era? If yes, I would need 10's of them for my new warship project. And what would be the approximate cost? Quote
cafmodel Posted February 27, 2020 Author #11 Posted February 27, 2020 3D seaman takes a lot of time from drawing to production, and it's a huge project, which I will continue to increase, including officers, combat status, British, French... These themes are very many, but very fun 1: 64 or 72 percent will be gradually produced, which is very convenient, I haven't started WW1 and WW2 themes yet, which should take a little time. Now the general themes are 1:350 1/64 scale warships, super huge👍 BLACK VIKING, mtaylor, BobG and 1 other 4 Quote

I personally wish you luck and success Tom, as I also enjoy having people on my models to help bring them alive.

It was 93 metres long, resulting to a model length of nearly 1,5 metres, so not really very long. But it would be nice to get a bunch of seamen on board. mtaylor 1 Quote

dvm27 Posted March 1, 2020 #17 Posted March 1, 2020 Very nice, Tom. At some point in the future I can envision having these printed on 3D color printers. I have seen examples in miniaturemuseums such as Gulliver's gate in New York and they are very realistic. Price, though, is a bit high for now but I'll bet people would be willing to pay for a realistic period crew. mtaylor 1 Quote GregwebsiteAdmiralty Modelsmoderator Echo Cross-section buildAdmiralty Models Cross-section BuildFinished buildPegasus, 1776, cross-sectionCurrent buildSpeedwell, 1752

Maury That's certainly true Maury. I commissioned a few figures long ago from Dynamic Dioramas in 1:48 scale for my dockyard model. I think they add nicely to the final display.

wefalck Posted March 4, 2020 #22 Posted March 4, 2020 Once modelling has been done, it should be possible to print them in all sorts of scales ... it's more a problem of managing the Web-shop than a technical one, I would think. lmagna and mtaylor 2 Quote wefalck panta rhei - Everything is in flux
kljang Posted March 6, 2020 #23 Posted March 6, 2020 Painting such figures realistically is quite easy. I just follow the methods used by war gamers. Block in the colours, don’t bother painting eyes, etc. Drybrush with lighter shades and use the “dip” method to bring them alive. I use the “Army Painter” dips with excellent results. i love figure on ships and they really bring the model to life. Well done Tom! I’d also love some modern and WW2 figures in 1/96 to 1/72 scale. Sign me up! cheers, kerry mtaylor, lmagna and BobG 3 Quote
