1/18 modern pilot figure

[Pete Fleischmann]

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

I like it, and modeling's cheaper than having a drug habit.

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.

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.

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.

I can’t wait to see what you’re gonna do with that when you get it.

I must admit that I hadn't read the entire original post, so I apologise sincerely for any offence I might have caused.

Click the 3D button in the upper right corner and you can rotate the figure around

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

The struggle is real......

[red Dog]

I'm about to order a 1/18 pilot for my 1/18 Harrier from reedoak but I see there are different pilots now. 
The one in the shapeway link above is "sitting 3". but can't be seen since the shapeways changes. On reedoak store, there's is no "sitting 3". We got sitting 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 & 8

@Pete Fleischmann can you remember which pose it was and if it is available from Reedoak website or is this a one shot special pose? 

I was going to order the sitting 2 but figured I'd ask first. 

 

Worst case scenario I'll order in the blind and adapt the pose

 

Many thanks

You can have a look in 1/32 scale. If there is a figure that you do not see in 1/18 scale, it is possible to add it to the list.

Cheers
