Paul,

AFAIK Taesung will not venture into modern arena anytime soon.

It seems it is hard to find sculptors that are competent enough for modern garb and gear... I remember seeing a nice 1/16 modern US figure Pongsatom sculpted for Think180. I remember he showed it here on HFM as well, but unfortunately it was never produced. Perhaps we can look forward to Maciek's return from Army service and Airborne Miniatures revival as his figures were a must-have for any serious modern figure buff.

Mario

PS Paul, did we talk on Missing-Lynx about that Stinger gunner? I think I owe you those graphics...

Hi Guys,
I am sure you both are more informed than me about the big scale modern figures but I just wanted to remind Deyun Hobby figures.
Please see link for reviews of their 120 mm figures.
best regards

Yes, Deyun started with some really nice figures (most of them sculpted by Maciek though) and I thought they could be the ones to carry the "modern figure" market... unfortunatelly no new figures on the horizon for quite some time from Deyun...

I thought that the US figure Pongsatom sculpted for Think180 might come under, if it ever opens the Twist Box Modern( forget the name) brand/company /shop if it opens.


IIRC T180/TBM was sold to MIG. I'm not sure if it was only the existing T180 1/35 line or the proposed TBM large scale ranges as well.
