norbert Posted May 29, 2015 Author Share Posted May 29, 2015 Hi Some progresses here (in 1/32): And I made them also in 1/35 to go with Academys MH-60S (the smaller ones) note than some other helicopter crews are also done : More to see on Reedoak facebook pages Norbert Kagemusha, reconspit, Youngtiger1 and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Wow!!! If this has been 3d printed, the days of resin cast figures are counted!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozart Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Norbert, those figures look absolutely amazing and opens up some really exciting possibilities with dioramas etc. As a WW2 modeller I'd like to see some figures of that era but as Thierry as said above, resin figures must now have a limited shelf life.

Kagemusha Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Great figures - are they really printed? - looking forward to buying some. Hope you're still working on the Super Frelon sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony T Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Excellent, but I don't do Facebook. Please post more here. Love the USN ground crew. Could use some early 1970s USAF SEA - bare arms / t-shirt stuff for hot 'n' humid Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geedubelyer Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Excellent resolution Norbert. This development is very exciting. Thanks for taking the time to post the photos. I'm eager to see more. In fact, putting the two scales side by side gives a realistic height disparity. Not everyone is the same size after all. Great stuff. Cheers.

Magic Mike Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 (edited) I want them !!!! Great poses...Some crew guys working around a plane (hauling hoses or in a pose to, etc) would be great too. MM edit to say: I never realized how much size difference there was between 1/32 and 1/35...now I know why 1/35 always looked wrong... Edit again... Need some pilots too...in poses like the helo pilots up earlier and maybe some doing a preflight on a plane.... I'm done editing now...

onosendai Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 the days of resin cast figures are counted!!! mmm, I've some doubts about this......I'm not at all worried. Kagemusha and Youngtiger1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vandy 1 VX 4 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 The way I look at 1/35th compared to 1/32 figures is not all of us are 6 foot tall. Some folks are 6'2" and some at 5'8" and we all wear different size clothes to Youngtiger1 and Jeff 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 mmm, I've some doubts about this......I'm not at all worried. I hope you are not! Moreover, 3d scan will not allow us to get a figure of Galland, Boyington or Olds before long! So, sculpters still have work! However, it is obvious that 3d printing will be the most appropriate technology to produce figures and even parts in the following years as this asks for far less manual work. The main problem with the current resin sets is the casting process of the molds and the parts. This is really labour intensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, the difference is quite obvious. For a similar reason, I did not like much using Verlinden or similar 54mm figures with 1/35 th vehicles as they too often look far too large. If some people are tall and others are small, a gun, a helmet or an extinguisher has a standard size and a difference of 10% always jumped to my eyes...

Youngtiger1 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Very cool. I can see myself with a set of each Please, share more!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustiepal Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 These look great and I would be in for some of these figures in both scales. A nice B-25 or B-17 in flight bomber crew would also be really nice! Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
