Usmcski Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 I will do a in flight crew. However, the clear visor on top of helmet will be plain grey resin, you will have to paint it helmet colour (white or camo like here) and put a relatively thick layer of gloss warnish on top. Great news! It is possible to just do one visor though. I never flew with two visors, only the dark one. I knew lots of crewmen that did this as well.

norbert Posted December 4, 2017 Author Share Posted December 4, 2017 I'd still like to see some plain USMC/USN Vietnam ground/flight crew standing around (plane captains and ordies), either with the muffs on or off ears. I'd like one of these relatively simple posed guys as a single figure to add some scale to the model. Some examples.... Many thanks, I never have enough pics of crews for my ref. Now to find what type of headset or ear protection we find here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norbert Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 Hi Wish you all a great year 2018 We start this year with another scanned modeller, this time an "african-américan" deck crew, a tall black guy that becomes, in miniature, our 14th modern US Navy deck crew A+ Norbert Luca, Lenny320 and Vandy 1 VX 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbert Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 Hi second modeller in minime for this year : US Navy deck crew, late 70s, 80s era, with metallic wheel chock from this time frame . 1/48 on the pictures, but is also done in large scale cheers Norbert Out2gtcha, Bill Cross, DesTROYer and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bstarr3 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 (edited) These are brilliant, Norbert. It's been a while since anyone brought it up, but I would like to chime in as well and say that a full crew for the HK B-25 and/or B-17 would be most welcome, and something completely missing from the market. Posed in flight - pilots, bombardier, navigator, and gunners firing their weapons would make for an impressive wheels up diorama.

There is a guy working on an impressive 1/32 B-17 crew since a good time (walking crew) that will most probably make great (and massive) dios possible. But I keep that all in mind. gatorbait51 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
