I was following the process on ARC forum since i owns tons of 1/48 and 1/35 helos kits, really great figures.
I have a Nemrod crew for my 1/35 HH60G but i need crews for my 1/48 projects.

Personnally i prefer Inside crew than standing ones so i'll certainly give a try to Norbert offering!

Really excellent figures, but $25 CAN each is way too pricey! I realize printing is an expensive process, but how about just printing the master and casting the product?


Hi
Prices on www.reedoak.com were in euro including french VAT (20%)
hope it works better now despite all enhancements has to be done.

I'm afraid some of the details, like microphone, wires, lines, pocket details, etc...will not survive the casting process. So it was a choice not to cast and try to keep all small details that make the difference.
In an other hand, we offer also printing service with this quality

Hi Roger
The veterans are ready now, and the veteran granddaughter (or just young lady) should be added in a short time, in scale 1/72, 1/48, 1/35 and 1/32.
Many thanks for your interest

Nice figures Norbert.
But it can be resin cast, cheaply and quite easily with practically no casting blocks or flash.

Many thanks Stephane.
It will come also in 1/48, and even 1/32 for the coming Revell 1/32 Lakota (had hoped they move to 1/35...)

Norbert this is very exciting work and gives a peek at the (near) future I think. BTW, what happened to your Mi-6?

It was waiting for a good printer for the cockpit parts. Shapeways was not sharp enough to my taste, and their material is difficult to glue and paint.
Now it's different, will give a test with the new printer

Do you think you will release the civilians that you show here in 1/72 scale, but do them in 1/35 scale instead? We need more figures like that in 1/35



Well said Roger, we need more civies for dioramas in Europe in the 1980s during the Reforger exercises, a couple of German Polizi too to go with the new civie cars that have been released lately.

Maybe some new British army crews for the new Chieftains that have been announced maybe with NBC gear too

I have to say that these figures look absolutely beautiful, I don't build aircraft but the Deck crew are making me think......

I really hope you do some figures we can use in vehicles in European settings like tank crew, softskin drivers and troops just milling around waiting for the next game, and civies men women and children, like to ones you see in photos sitting on Leopards and M60s bugging crews for sweets.

Looking forward to seeing what is coming from this company.

Hello Norbert, I've seen on your Facebook page, you will release a set of wheels for the VBCI in 1:35 scale.

When will it be available for sell ?

I made them for Djiti Productions. However, without any news, I may change my mind

It is high as they will not be casted : the level of special game workshop figures or of collector figures, not more.

You will find the price on the webshop at Reedoak.com

Now for the 1/72 and 1/48 amateurs : little gems from testshot #19





and despite some of those are USN deck crews, I have some pictures of them close to USMC vehicules inside landing ship decks

Agreed. Maybe this is a good way to reduce the price, keeping good quality.
