These are the looks I came up with prior to turning them into 3D and ultimately into the slicer….looking for any feedback or comments. Plan on printing some of them in 1/24, 1/76 and 1/96…

Wow! Those are fantastic! The first three look like they just stepped out of a romance novel. I can't wait to see how they turn out in resin. You are, however, missing the one climbing the ratlines. Every ship needs a couple of sailors going aloft.

looking brilliant well done
Excellent work. Perhaps adding a marine or two with musket in had for future consideration.
I have many more. I haven’t made one of those yet. I will make a couple different ones. Any others?Wow! Those are fantastic! The first three look like they just stepped out of a romance novel.

Can do!

Maybe a helsman at the wheel or rudder, or sailer sitting on keg drinking days rum ration.
Keep em coming…
As I go, I am learning to be more specific in my descriptions of the sailors, particularly when it comes to those that need to grasp a rope…you see some that I have to redo in order to be able to use them on the ropes on the ship….they need an open hand that is grasping a rope…

Another thought, how about the lookout up high, with hand to forehead looking across the seas!
Good one!
Let’s see how they turn out first. Just got the printer, so might be a couple weeks before I know for sure. Have to set up exhaust, printing area, going to also use exhaust area to set up small airbrush paint booth so there is a bit of work to be done.

VERY nicely rendered, sir. The running powder monkey in particular is magnificent! However, a couple figures...the two coated fellows shown side by side pointing and clutching a spyglass...do appear to suffer from the same malady that afflicted a number of the old Series 77 Britannia metal military miniature figures: they're a mite "short-legged. I don't wish to seem unduly pedantic; just wanted to give you the chance to make corrections before committing the digital prototype to actual production. I'm looking forward to seeing the final results.

Absolutely fantastic !! I have printed figures with a resin printer and you are in for a real treat! Be patient as mastering the printer is fun but expect to make mistakes. Do NOT become discouraged.
1. The best to date.
2. If you keep the price down, I can see you selling many crews of these guys: including some to me'
Wonderfully done! But unless they're printed close to 1:1, much of your incredible detail will be invisible to the eye!
