lmagna Posted February 26, 2020 Share #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 Share #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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moxis Posted February 27, 2020 Share #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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cafmodel Posted February 27, 2020 Author Share #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👍 mtaylor, Landrotten Highlander, BLACK VIKING and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

Moxis Posted February 27, 2020 Share #13 Posted February 27, 2020 1 hour ago, cafmodel said: 1/64 scale warships, super huge👍 I am beginning the build of a model of a Finnish armoured cruiser Ilmarinen in 1/64 scale. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dvm27 Posted March 1, 2020 Share #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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Share #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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kljang Posted March 6, 2020 Share #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.
