Mark, those look great! Thanks for posting them.

[marco55]

Yes I'm quite happy with them. I'm going to get more sculpted.

Marco 55 have you listened to following podcast? Lions Led by Donkeys just did a brutally hilarious podcast about that. Episode 230 — The Khivan Expedition of 1839.

Found it.

I got this fort for my project. Now I have to get it painted.

I have decided to sell this fort as it's just too big for my needs. Check out details on my For Sale thread.  https://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=138636.new#new

Starting to get some more Russians sculpted. Get a few more done and then some more French/Senegalese. Then some Central Asians.

Outstanding! Looking forward to the central Asians. I wonder if they could be upsized for 28mm?

[marco55]

Probably. I upped mine from 20 to 22. It's done on a 3-D printer.

I think the sculptor is proud of these. He has put them on his website and has plans on selling them. https://digitalsculpt.se/workbence/

the problem of 3D minis used for wargames alongside classical lead castings is that 3D resin minis are conceived for display or modelling so they tend to be slender, they  are realistic in size..which is not the case of our colonial minis such as Askari or OG which are more heroic as concern proportions..i find it difficult, from past experience, to have the seller print the minis in the scale i needed..possibly this is an issue only for 28mm..the 1/72 minis such as those shown by Marco looks good even if "absolutly realistic" :-)..i have some 1/72 minis for Indochine War 1946-54 and they look good even if mixed with metal or plastic other ranges.

He said someone from Italy was wanting to buy some. Was it you?
Mark

[italwars]

Indirectly cause I pointed the site to a friend  ..but I would have, possibly, a try with some French officers..but as said it’s difficult to decide the proportions

[marco55]

I want to do some more French and Senegalese but I do have some of Massimo Costa's Algerian Turcos that could be painted like Senegalese. I need more French Officers and some NCO's.

Myself, I want them for diorama purposes so they are fine with me.
