Title: 40mm Naval Landing Crew
Post by: ian220756 on December 06, 2020, 10:48:32 AM
Hi
Just completed the first of what will be a comprehensive Naval contingent for a display game that I’m working on - English Marines are Sash & Saber , French Coastal Artillery are Perry and the sailors are my own range
Thanks for looking
Ian

Excellent work Ian, is the marine drummer a conversion?  Will your range become available? The naval landing party is wonderful.

Hi Paul
The drummer is an Oniria figure in 30mm but works as a drummer boy in 40mm - the naval figures are not in a fit state to release commercially I’m afraid - the swords etc didnt cast from the 3D masters - too flimsy - I’ve replaced them with pins and a decent paint job disguises the rest 😉

Very nice Ian. Those 3D sculpts are definitely pushing me in that direction for some unique models.

Hi Neil
My experience of the medium would be - don’t bother - every day we see amazing renders of great work by various digital artists - but it’s only the very best that can transform them in to workable models especially if you want to print off masters and then put them in a traditional mould to produce in metal
For now any future projects I do will be the traditional route

@ian220756: Lovely and in my mind correct stance on the digital.


This is brilliant stuff. Just lovely.  :o
