I’m a touch baffled as the happy couple are 1/24th but the MAIM heads you show are 1/35, although they do a set in 1/24th. I bought a set of each but was somewhat disappointed as they were 3D printed (in black!) rather than resin cast and the layering was obtrusive and led to small voids. How do yours look?
They are from the 1/24 scale set. Yes they are 3D printed in black and looked as you just described. I sprayed with automotive filler primer then gently sand.
Not too bad now. So, on to a few other things. The strap & D-ring detail on the bread bag was very soft so, replacements were made from pewter foil and wire. Filling was needed at the waist as well.
The joint at the left shoulder needed quite a bit of filling due to the fit. When this has set, I’ll put a bit more on to make it smooth. The right shoulder will need a little touch as well but, I’ll wait until painting is underway to get that done.
Hello fellow Figurers! Glad to see the campaign progressing.
Here’s where things stand with my crew thus far… In order to somewhat resemble the five varying poses, I summoned the bone-saw and friends. Hip-joints and knees were broken and reset… adjustments were made… and putty was filled into the gaps.
Next up…
• Pull the AT Gun out of storage and lift-up the trails to hauling hight.
• Franken-Figure two arms to the AT Gun trails level.
• Rummage-through the Hornet Hands box… select and fit new paws to the grab-handles.
Still undecided how to start, ultimately I hope to use one of those heads for a Steampunk Supervillain I’m going to call “The Bra$$ Bada$$” but I think it might take a couple of easy builds to see if I can still pull that sort of thing off…
Right then, the build is finished and he’s been primed. Now the primer’s on I can appreciate the quality of the sculpt. The details really pop and he should paint up a treat! Pity I’m back at work tomorrow so, won’t be able to start the painting until Saturday……Just a thought though, he does look a bit heavyset compared to what the troops looked like back in the day. Maybe the chap they scanned had been on the pies that day .
Now, I know I said I was finished with US tankers but, after seeing Rob’s tanker, I picked up this set this morning. Might be seeing a couple of these on the thread as well….
I’m interested if the Figure Campaign requirements can be clarified. Can partial builds be entered?
I am working on a SOL Models 1/12 “Secret Agent” figure that requires painting after I primed it. Can I enter it in this Campaign, or do you want something started as totally “Unbuilt?” (The resin gear pieces aren’t part of the kit). Thanks.
Yes, following Phil’s lead “generous flexibility” is the order of the day.
For future campaigns something for the community to think about is what does a 25% mean for figures. For some figures there is no assembly so what is that tipping point, ie primer and a few colors etc.
