A M1165 and a M1113 GMV conversion would be also nice!

Very nice! I like your figures Peter and it seems Legend is working wonders by casting them in resin.

Fantastically amazing detail for a 1/35 figure with several resin (casting) "breakthroughs" such as the boom mike wire, the resin radio cord, the individual bullets cast in resin, the straight groove SAW RIS, and all these little pieces of details. This figure sure has a lot of nice gear and eyecandy to drool over!

Pete, I'm not sure I can see these details.

I believe he refers to the last image: the folded blade antenna, and the rounds coming from the magazine into the feed. Although the mike wire is just a piece of wire IMO

Folded blade antenna and the rounds have already been done in 1/35 scale in resin, that's why I was a bit puzzled with Pete's post.

Yes, I think mike wire is a piece of brass wire as well.

[quote]Very nice! I like your figures Peter and it seems Legend is working wonders by casting them in resin.

I'm agree, Mario. In my opinion, the quality of casting of Legend is the maximum achievable casting level, and I can say - Legends figures are excellent. And Peter (Trisaw) is right, all elements of the 3D model are visible on the resin figure 1/35.

And TOW traversing system from new release.

Peter, the TOW set will be amazing when cast by Legend. Is the set going to include the rest of the TOW pieces you previously offered as 3d printed through Shapeways? It would be nice to see all of the components, both inside and outside the vehicle, included in a single set. Also, can the piece on the very top of the sight unit be left off? It is not mounted in many photos of the TOW system in use in Iraq early in OIF (2003). It is the flat assembly with a cable hooked to it that has round discs at each end.

Regards,

Eric

Eric _ I think that is the PADS GPS assembly on top that was separate on the 3D printed Shapeways effort. I am like you and hoping that can be left off for the 2003 Mosul 101st version. All the best - Stuart

This 2003 photo does not show the later Position Attitude Determination Subsystem (PADS) that provides the Far Target Location (FTL) capability of today...

Eric, all the components of the total TOW system will be casted in resin. Complete sets - vehicle's turret versions, ground version, and additional kits such as reserve batteries, missile containers, etc.
PADS block are a separate element and are used to choose.

Peter, even though I already brought all of the available parts off of Shapeways I will be glad you purchase them again! I am also very anxious to see what GMV conversions you have teamed up with Legend Productions on. Your work is beautiful. Thank you for the answer.

Eric

I'm really excited to hear your Humvee update sets and conversions will be released. I hope Legend will go all-in with these and release all of them... I think there is a huge market for anything Humvee related and I'm definitely looking forward to seeing the GMV stuff in resin.

Cheers,
Mario

Stuart (amoz02t) -Special Thanks to you for helping to work on the TOW sets! Thanks to your initial impulse and info, the whole line of TOW sets theme was created. It all started with FCS box, then ITAS - and all other

And the TOW turret MRAP version:
