Vietnam helicopter pilot by Reedoak

 Hello,

We made a new late vietnam / post vietnam helicopter pilot, that we will offer in 3 versions. Here is the version with Aircav hat and sun glasses

Now, that is one excellent-looking figure! Full-of-character and in a great pose. Will you be producing more Vietnam helo crew-members?

I bought this. Do I need to soak him in bleach like with other resin figures to remove the mold release?

Beg pardon, but it’s not an “Aircav hat.” It’s a Cavalry Stetson which must be EARNED via a Spur Ride.

And for us civilians, that means what?

Is he resin, or 3-D printed? It's getting more difficult to tell, these days. Have you looked on the Reedoak 'site?

IDK. I didn't find anything on their website, but few resin vendors tell you about mold release or how to remedy it.

It's 3D printed resin, cleaned in 4 bath of isopropyl alcohol, so ready for primer after removing the sprues (that we call supports in the 3D world)

[Confusionreigns178]

I should probably point out here.... I was asking if it's the traditional "poured into a rubber mold and left to set" type of resin of the olden days, or the much-more-modern 3D- printed type. When I wrote it, I hadn't considered that both types of production are generally referred to as using "resin".

 

Sorry for the confusion.

 

Chris.
