Out2gtcha Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Great work! Have you guys ever considered more seated/in flight pilots? Seems like a high demand for some seated pilots. Shawn M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norbert Posted September 11, 2018 Author Share Posted September 11, 2018 Yes, everything is based on scans... MS-22001 oxygen mask for APH-6 helmet with gloves are now done. You can place them on a cart, a ladder, a cockpit side... have to add the figure to the webshop now cheers Norbert LSP_Kevin, Out2gtcha and Kagemusha 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There seems to be a lot of gaps in the 1/32nd seated pilot market. mozart, cib2265 and phantom 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I beat that drum at our local club and people look at me strange. The old school sculptors have nothing to worry about. I've been fooling around this and it's not that straight forward. Photogrammetry is the preferred scanning method, at this time, which requires roughly 90 cameras. There are ways to get the 90 photos of your subject without buying 90 cameras. The photos then need to be processed into a cg model called a mesh. That mesh need to be cleaned up using another computer program which requires some practiced skills. The final mesh or model now needs to be 3D printed. Some artists are sculpting figures digitally on a computer without any scanning but that's not what these figures are. The other thing to realize is that you can't mix scanned figures with sculpted ones because they look so different. On the other hand, old school sculptors just need epoxy or clay, wire and magnification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbert Posted September 16, 2018 Author Share Posted September 16, 2018 artist paint ? photography ? one century ago sculpt ? 3D sculpt ? scan ? todays. You know the answer from the history, each has his advantage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suresh Nathan Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 (edited) I think it's more than that. Models and figures were sculpted by human hands. Even the high quality ones like those from Zoukei Mura have a hybrid process of sculpt and digital scan with post process digital detailing. They take on a very organic feel. Contrast the stuff from Trumpeter or Hobby boss which feels like it's taken out of a 2D line drawing. It's a bit like Model Maker Starwars vs CGI Starwars, isn't it? It's why I only ever build the old stuff and the occasional ZM. I take pride in those..... The Trumpeters and Hobby bosses I build in a week and take them to a modeling talk and I'm not too concerned if they break in the process. Sorry to derail the discussion. These figures are nevertheless stunning and I'd love to paint one! PS> I sculpted the figure of Joe Foss for largescaleplanes.com in 2003. Took me 6 months. https://www.largescaleplanes.com/articles/article.php?aid=48 Edited September 17, 2018 by Suresh Nathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
