Hello guys. Never been in this sub-forum before. My partner and I are doing some R&D on making our own figures. We both work in the video game industry and have decided to see what the work flow would be like using ZBrush and a few different printing techniques to make our own 1/35 and larger figures.
This is our first test and I've shared it with my tiny YouTube Modelers group, but I thought I'd ask for some opinions here. He will have a lower body added to the knee or so just to make him usable in 1/35. The cupola is just a blockout I made up for posing and won't be on the 1/35 version obviously. But we're also debating doing a vignette style bust with a cupola in a larger scale.
Let me know what you think.

Adam. I think it looks great. Will you be 3D printing or resin casting?

This looks great, Adam! The only thing I can see is the headset frame which might be a bit too thin (read: fragile).

Adam: Please can you provide some larger images to look at. Looking at what you have added, everything looks correct anatomically and I am guessing this is a figure for the Eastern Front?

Very nice looking render so far Adam. There's always a need for more hatch figures, especially those that look like they're doing actual tank stuff as we're pretty well served for the standing/pointing/leaning on the tank poses.
One other if I may comment in addition to the headset frame is the binoculars which look more like a naval pair (particularly the RN Barr and Stroud) than a typical tankers Carl Zeiss ones ....
cheers
