    Hi
    If you have the same printer you can do like me : offer direct 3D printed figures, or cast them if you are sure you get enough sales for the extra costs

    Hi
    2 more army helicopter crews are ready now :
    an additional standing pilot with body armor, and different face
    And finaly the first of the seated pilots : with flotation collar for operation over water, straps, seat without frame, cyclic, collective, also without frame, and pedals. Suits Academy blackhawk, you will normaly have to move the seat frame a bit back, or bend it back like on the pictures.

    :eek: Lordy pass the paintbrush . . .

    As has been mentioned before the realism is . . . is . . . . is . . .well let's say that they're the best I've seen.
    That said they have a certain 'coldness' ? compared to some of the established 'sculpted' figures, lacking some of the quirks that can make a figure personal to a particular sculpter.

    I really like them, but it's like comparing an Angis McBride illustration to a re-enactor dressed up there's something a bit photographic about them. Not a critism, you understand, just a personal observation :)

    Keep up the incredible work

    Hi Paul

    I understand what you say. In such work, I'm a little like a movie director, or a photographer of the B&W area. So I lately tried to have more smiles, or suffering, joy...life !
    But at the end, it's the painter work who will give the whole "life" to the figure.
    Started the first prints in Mai, I'm only a step forward you (in the timeframe), and hope to keep improving from figure to figure.

    So many thanks for giving your feelings.

    The climate's not changing at all and 3d printing is just a passing fad!

    I very much like the fact that you are including civilian figures in your castings. Keep 'em coming! How about some WW1 figures? (y)

    All the best,
