    Hi Guys,

    Found this a while ago. Its a pity they don't do smaller than 12". Maybe a bit of lobbying by the Military Miniature fraternity could persuade them to do a 120mm version.

    See the link http://www.truformarmatures.com/

    Great site! I just emailed them asking if they would consider smaller armatures in the range of 54mm to 120mm. Perhaps if enough of us do they'll consider it.

    Cheers,

    Chris

    Hi Guys,

    I had a look at their Facebook page and there's some cool SBS video's on there. I left a message about smaller scales.

    Regards,

    Even though this forum and most of the hobby is in a smaller range, are there people out there who would build and paint 1/6 scale? Its big but I think it would be cool to see some Historical stuff in that scale.

    Hi Ethan,

    Have a look at their Facebook page. There are som fine American artists working on historical and military subjects in large scales.

    Though a neat idea I doubt Truform would ever do anything that small. They really cater to those doing clays to be turned into bronzes.

    Western artist David Lemon has used Truform armatures on some of his recent clays.

    Hi all!

    Thanks for the link to sculptor David Lemon. Always nice to see
    gifted hands place the clay at the right spots and then take away the unneccesary. (y)

    Add me to the list of those interested in 1/16th scale armatures, Ken. Could you identify yourself a bit more when you post the armatures? If I'm going to buy anything from anybody via a forum, I like the idea of knowing who I'm talking to. :)

    All the best,
    Dan
