Pete Fleischmann 3,013 Posted October 18 Share Posted October 18 Hello all- I asked Norbert from Reedoak if the was possible to scale up one of his outstanding pilot figures to use in the Hobby Boss 1/18 scale AV-8B Harrier. He was able to adjust the design and get it uploaded to Shapeways. Thanks Norbert for all the work it took to do this. Please- if it’s too expensive for your taste, kindly leave that comment to yourself. Norbert has no control over what Shapeways charges. This is a very special product that will appeal to a few of us. For those of you interested, here it is https://www.shapeways.com/product/JZUNG24AC/1-18-us-navy-pilot-sitting-3?optionId=180286975&li=marketplace cheers Pete Kagemusha, John1, D.B.

D.B. Andrus 4,160 Posted October 18 Share Posted October 18 I like it, and modeling's cheaper than having a drug habit. Royboy, cmayer, MARU5137 and 2 others 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Royboy 1,108 Posted October 18 Share Posted October 18 Norbert has plenty of other subjects that would be good candidates for this scale too! There's no doubt that a good quality figure really brings a model to life and this one would certainly do that. The price is irrelevant if it's what you really want. Just ask multi millionaire art collectors about their passion, same for rare cars etc. etc. Yes it's a lot of bucks, but so are top of the range golf clubs!! I'm seriously tempted, must save more pennies though. Pete Fleischmann and MARU5137 2 Link to post Share on other sites
geedubelyer 1,285 Posted October 18 Share Posted October 18 Hi Pete, Given the results you got with your recent 32nd scale chopper crew I cannot wait to see what this bad boy looks like when you've painted it. Pete Fleischmann 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Confusionreigns178 33 Posted October 18 Share Posted October 18 As much as I'd like to buy one, that price is just plain crazy (pun intended). I would pay maybe £20 - £30 for a 1/18th pilot figure and that's pushing it, to be honest. Chris. Swatto 1 Link to post Share on other sites

MARU5137 14,600 Posted October 18 Share Posted October 18 Hello Pete Well I see Norbert From Reedoak has created some Stunning figures with exquisite detailing in the past just like THIS ONE. So having seen your previous figure work, your painting and shading etc ; I think Pete, you will make these new figures look amazing. Your skills on the figure painting etc will greatly enhance Norbert's 1:18 Pilot figure. look forward to your new interesting project. .Thank you. MARU 5137.

Out2gtcha 33,600 Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 Must be on the desk top version, I can't see a 3D button on mobile. I'll take a look when I get home. I see they also make a 3D printed "Teeny Sad Keanu Reeves". lol Pete Fleischmann 1 Link to post Share on other sites
