Have been working on sailors for my ships…

Those are really spectacular. But why are you skipping 1:64 scale? Most of my ships are 1:64 scale. Also, when will these be available to the public?

He's not skipping anything. The files he is developing can be printed with a 3D printer any size desired. 1/50, 2/33 or 1/64. I develop all my 3D files in full size. Then they can be printed any size.

One thing though - were sailors always barefoot?

The poor ones were barefoot….

At 1:24 scale, they're going to be around 60 to 75mm high (2.5 to 3"), so with those, the faces would be more clear. Certainly the hair cut or style would be pretty clear. That's what you're thinking of, right? Actual facial shape would be pretty consistent over the past several thousand years. Average body height has increased over time, but I'm thinking hair style and clothing (including caps) is the only distinguishing difference that might show up at different between eras. Is that kind of along the lines of what you were thinking about?

Yeah, I don't think with scale the face visibility will be an issue; on picture when first fellow holding a gun ball in front of him
has a very modern haircut and that running boy also.. but again, with scale it most likely will not be that noticeable... If you are able to add some hat from the same era or something to cover their head would be OK, I think.
Other than that, I believe they are very accurate figures and will get real life and scale into model.. The same I have done with my Santa Maria, but I had to search on the net for figures; at that time was not equipped with 3d printer....

Side question, which software have you used to create these figures (apologies if you already mentioned that somewhere)?

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…View attachment 590740

These are really fantastic. When you run your samples, I would love to purchase many of the figures in 1:76 for my Constitution. I have painted hundreds of Napoleonic war game figures in the past and these would be similar. If you need a painter, I would be up for the task.

Great figures and pose"s.

Still a couple weeks away from first test print. Currently setting up ventilation, printer and washes. Then need to run test prints and debug.

Something you can do in advance of the printer actually being up and running is to use your slicer software to process some of your models. That will show you how much and how many supports will be utilized... much needed to support overhangs and protect fine details. Apologies in advance if you already know this, but if you're completely new to 3D printing, it will be a handy exercise to undertake. You don't need to actually submit the sliced file to the printer... it's typically a two stage process. Slice the file and let the software determine if there are any problems to be addressed, and then once the software (and you) are happy with the resultant print file, that then gets sent to the printer to begin working on it. Then the last bit, after printing (and in the case of filament printing... washing) is support material removal. Plastic model spru cutters are your friend, as well as really fine needle nosed pliers (or forceps).

Most assuredly looking forward to seeing how your project progresses.

You can make them on your own. It's AI generated, so why not try it yoursel. If you have printer you will just pay for resin and ai trial period
