mingwin Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 is this based on 3D scanned real people??? details seems amazing. but how does those will look in 1/48??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zark Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Don't ask me, I cant say NO...I built aircraft dioramas with a soft spot for "USNAVY" subjects, and any new figures are welcome!!! free upload pictures post images upload gambar ...now you know what I meant!!!

Rich in name only Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Agree! more figures (and equipment/vehicles), please. I find lots of figures but not much variety in poses or options. Surgery can change poses but has challenges for making the result look "natural". One "kit" has separate arms/legs that do allow mix and match although the instructions put specific arms/legs to torsos. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
I.Martin Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Excellent idea!! I miss deck crew figures doing different tasks, like "grapes" refueling a plane, Cat Directors telling pilots to unfold wings, add power etc... Ordies preparing the armament, Checkers taking a look around the aircraft, Plane Captains cleaning the windshield .... and so on.. Please give as what we need!!

norbert Posted April 4, 2015 Author Share Posted April 4, 2015 is this based on 3D scanned real people??? details seems amazing. but how does those will look in 1/48??? Yes, real people numerized and reworked. They look fine and sharp in 1/48 and I think they will also look fine in 1/72. I have some factory testshot here, but I prefer to wait until I got testshots made with the choosen machine, in about 3 weeks. finger crossed Norbert Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Many thanks Zark note that the above deck crew has the current life preserver vest, Reedoak have to do other sets with the previous vest. BTW, nice big dios !

norbert Posted May 29, 2015 Author Share Posted May 29, 2015 Hi Some progresses here (in 1/32): And I made them also in 1/35 to go with Academys MH-60S (the smaller ones) note than some other helicopter crews are also done : More to see on Reedoak facebook pages Norbert Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FAR148 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 VERY COOL!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Don Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Great stuff ! I use figures all the time for my 1/35 armor but have generally stayed away from them for 1/32 and 1/48 aircraft/helicopters for various reasons. But with detail like what I see above I may begin adding some figures to my aircraft models as well. Nice work. Regards, Don. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
I.Martin Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Wonderful!! They look great, I wish you do them at 1/48 too. Only one advice, the goggles are the modern ones and that can limit the use of those figures with older planes so I'd do them separately, including the new and old style ones > PIC < Nice job, keep us informed!!

niart17 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 (edited) Norbert, these are AMAZING! I would love to see what printer you guys are using..your prints are coming out remarkably clean. Any idea of a ball park price range for your 1/32 - 1/35 figures? Nevermind, just saw the prices in the other thread. Bill P.S. I saw in the other thread you were asking about whether you should standardize the heights or keep them varied for realism. My personal opinion would be to vary them. I think that adds a very nice touch that most figure manufactures miss. Edited May 29, 2015 by niart17 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alpagueur Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 excellent job! I'd like to get the 3 figures in 1/32 scale for a modern navy diorama. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I.Martin Many thanks. the figures have also the "modern" life preserver vest, so old googles means also partialy different cloths for me. More to come Norbert Quote Link to post Share on other sites

EagleAviation Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 They are superb! These figures look so realistic! Posing is magnificent! Well done! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rustywelder Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 (edited) These look pretty incredible! How about a shooter and the two guys sitting ( I'm not sure what they are called) in glorious 1/72. Edited May 30, 2015 by rustywelder Quote Link to post Share on other sites

norbert Posted May 30, 2015 Author Share Posted May 30, 2015 Hi, many thanks to all for your nice comments These look pretty incredible! How about a shooter and the two guys sitting ( I'm not sure what they are called) in glorious 1/72. Good to see that latest life preserver vest and googles existed at the Tomcat time. I'm also looking to add the crewman holding the weight-box. There is no limit to figures. Norbert Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HAMMER32 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Good to see new deck crew, and new pilots are needed, too. The Aires' resin pilots have nice detail but I think their faces are too small, I have to modify them myself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HAMMER32 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Looking forward your new deck crew in 1/48 scale! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alpagueur Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 (edited) and new pilots are needed, too. a standing pilot would be great, too... or kneeling: the only aftermarket Navy pilot in 1/32 scale comes from Verlinden, but his suit/helmet is a bit 'old' as timeframe (I suppose mid-late 1980s) Edited June 1, 2015 by Alpagueur Quote Link to post Share on other sites
