With the thick coats they wore and the helmets, just model a couple of Michelin Men out of blue tack and paint them. No one would know at that scale.  B|

nice progress Ian , i never thought about the pilots though. Maybe Brengun do some , i know they do a lot of pe for 1/144 stuff, failing that how about these  http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5157-Model...8AAOSwj0NUfen0


theyre N gauge figures for railways but they scale out to about 1/148 which is near enough , theres a couple in sitting positions too , hope this helps cheers tony

Thanks Joe I've had a look at there site, and there's a great range to look at.


And with a link to a post by Graham about modeling we were talking about 3D printing in modeling and this is the way it's going to be.

Well don Ian, this is looking very good (and so small). 

[monica]

[Guest]

I am having to remind myself how tiny these are; the level of detail fools me. 

[papa 695]

A little more done on the Dr1

Super work Ian. Your 1/44 is better than my 1/72 work :P
