I like these- interesting subjects and it would be cool if they were available in a few different scales. Only thing I would have an issue with is the lack of weapon slings.

These do look good. I recently got some of their AZOV figures, and they are top notch… well printed and with great details.

As far as I know, Black Snake offers their figures across scales. I don’t think any of the current manufacturers include weapon slings with their figures… these are easily done using lead foil strips and some PE buckles.

Yes the slings are a rarity in 3D printing- Live Resin sometimes have them moulded on. Old fashioned style slings are easy enough to do but modern clips and attachments for multi-point slings and the slings themselves are too much for my meagre scratch building skills! Some of the modern style fasteners in 1/35 (and larger scales) would be great- I would at least give it a shot if I could find some.

Phenomenal paint jobs. I’d consider switching scale to do a few of these.

Rob, I think these are 3D generated images, not painted figures.

That could well be. My glasses are halfway across the county. My “other” glasses don’t focus well up close.

By way of update, no reply to email, but there are seven new Delta Force figures up on their website, https://www.blacksnake-model.com/figurine

The Delta Force radio operator pulling out the laptop is a nice idea…not many (semi modern) communications figures are made these days.
