that's what I was thinking: exactly the figure I could use for a vignette in homage to my dead father...

Received the prints this week. Made a picture, but the contrast is not that good, as they are white.

The big guy is in 1:48 and the smaller one in 1:76.
Will try to find the time to prime them in grey to give it a bit more contrast in a picture.

Cheers,

Jeroen

can't wait to see it with some contrast applied

I hope the figures will be in 1/72, not in 1/76?

It is a huge difference

looks great, what I can guess from the picture.......
@zzed, if you look at people in real life, you can see that many of them are in a " different scale" in comparisson to other people :mrgreen:

I agree in this case, since its civilian there are no equipment comparisons which is what bothers me in scale differences with military subjects.
I don't mean to hijack this
On another note, nice project, not that I know anything about such things :roll:

I can well imagine this little fellow in the 1/76 scale working somewhere in my 1950`s. model town of Honeywell. Perhaps`s taking a break from working in the towns Flour Mill. The Pub is just across the street and right handy for a quick couple of Jars during the works dinner break. ( Pint`s of Beer!) Just right nice to wet the dry dust from his throat . Yes, a Splendid little figure. Perhaps a small ,boxed set would be perfect for my needs . I wish you every success in what you are doing. BB

It strikes me that this process would be great for the 'one-off' figure.

A single personality figure such as a noted commander or eye-candy such as civilians from any era could be possible. You wouldn't sell volume but if the process was cheap enough you could have a wide inventory with people buying one of everything.
