WW2 British Airborne in D-Day

[Hugo Pereira]

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
Hugo Pereira

Aww, Guys, that's awesome, make it happen! What a great concept. We need concepts like this. Ruck On!

Hello Mr. Steve Ski

Thank you so much for your comment. It was very difficult put all the guys in the pose but I liked the final work. I think we got the point… Now it’s time to work on…

Thank you Sir.
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

 

[The Riveteer]

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!)

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 Mr. Big Todd

It's planned to do 2 busts scale, 1/12 and 1/16 and the figures in 120mm, 75mm and 1/35. You can get what you like more and prefer...

Thank you so much Sir.

Hello Mr. Bison

Im planning the best way for you can paint them and get everything perfect. In this moment we are trying to get everyone in position. After this we will do something unique and different... I can assure you that...

Thank you so much.

Hello Mr. David

Thank you so much for your comment. Ive a different opinion of what you said... I will develop this in away you can paint the figures separate and assemble everything without any stress... But let see the final result...

Thank you so much Sir.

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.
