What scale and type figures do you want to see?

[Herbs Ships]

I would really like to see detailed model commercial seamen,captains and deck hands.

So 1990-2025? Or are there other years you’re thinking of? Do you have specific ships/boats and scales that you are thinking of?

Similar to USS Constitution request. In short, Napoleonic/Nelson era sailors. A full gun crew, climbing ratlines, on the deck and yards working sails, sitting at gun table eating, at the wheel, holystoning the deck,at the head, etc Would be interested in 1:96/1:100 and 1:150/1:160. Would STLs be available for 3d printing (resin)?

STLs are not available. It takes too long to make an STL then they need to be printed and the first run is always a prototype followed by sometimes a second prototype run. I don’t want things breaking or being too flimsy. I also remove all structure away from the figures before the LED cure oven time. This is because as a model maker wanting the best figures I can get, that is the best time to remove the structure. I want to provide the best. This is the most successful way to do it. I also use ABS like resin as it can be most durable for figures.

I should add that while I can make as small as 1:150/1:160, you might not be happy painting them and getting the right detail in place.

I'd love to see 1/48 scale early 1800s Royal Navy sailors working the ship. As mentioned above, things like climbing ratlines, working the spars, heaving on lines, holystoning the deck, repairing sails, sailor at the tiller, sailors on the deck and yards working sails, taking soundings, etc. Officers conferring on deck, midshipmen taking sights with a sextant, and so on. Just day to day working a ship at sea as opposed to the more common working the guns figures that we tend to see.

Thanks.

On the list to do. The 1/48 figures are no problem as they can be scaled up and down in size with no problem.

Similar to Todd's list, officers and men for a 1:48 r/c sailing model British frigate of the 1770s.
