    Hello
    Now it's time to share another concept that we are working on, but this time it's for us... RPmodels will develop and produce this project. I recently saw a wip of a WW2 paratrooper... I thought it was funny, because we've been working for about 3 months on English paratroopers on D-Day, based on a real photo that I loved... Let's take the picture and I ask for help to collaborate in the realization of this project.

    What do you think of the concept? All ideas, commentsare welcome... It will be 1/12 busts, 120mm, 75mm and 1/35... And maybe in 1/48 too... But lets see
    Thank you so much.
    With best regards

    I think this is great ! This will be big, to get enough of the glider in the scene for proportions which would be welcome. I know I want it in 120mm. So that would make two of us buying one.

    An absolute cracker - great concept. I particularly like how you worked out the "behind the scene" poses of those eight paras. It's going to be quite a challenge to assemble and paint, I dare say.

    That looks like a great idea, would the figures be 3d printed as one, or as separate casts ?, Just thinking of the costings

    Great idea but not for me - If presented as a "plaque" (from the front only) it's just heads, still original but more of a conversation piece, if a fully, "all round" piece, I think it would be a nightmare to paint. Still it's nice to see something other than 101 Airborne for a change and nice to see a British WW2 subject. I can see all those Americans out there thinking "What, the British were at D-Day too!!!" (calm down, only a joke!) :LOL: :ROFLMAO::rolleyes:

    Not one for me either, but a very original concept nonetheless.

    Hi Hugo

    Good concept idea

    I agree with Davids comments would be better as a plaque with the doorway ( allow for the roundel and names ) with the back cut flat to allow for mounting

    Careful and considered casting is needed to allow for pieces to be painted individually and then built together

    Cost is also a consideration obviously

    I know there's no beret in original but perhaps have the bottom left para holding his


    Look forward to seeing how this goes forward

    I love it. I agree a plaque option would be worthwhile, saving resin cost and making display as a wall piece easier.

    Hello BIG GUY

    we are planning the issues for we can put everything in perfection. The best way its develop the figures to be paint separate and then put everything on the place. For the busts, we will play with a different strategy because just will be the front part, but I will assure the busts can be paint separate to avoid problems.

    About the cost Im working on that too, to get a beautiful model with a good cost.

    Thank you so much.
    Big hug

    Lol, we're aware that the Brits were well in the invasion too! I understand that feeling. I love this piece! So much character. I'm thinking the 1/16 busts with that glider enough to do the rounde and the graffiti would make a nice piece.
