1/16 tanker heads. This is straight from the mold, uncleaned, I didn't notice the dust, etc until I uploaded the pics. I'll get better ones soon, including painted.

For all you 'Furious' tankers out there:

That looks just great, Ausf. Your talent never ceases to amaze me. Have you ever done any civilian figures? Those are very hard to find in our scale, but I'd really love to get my hands on the family that runs my little farm. A couple of frumpy hausfraus would be a most welcome addition to my growing tank world in the back yard. Maybe one out feeding the chickens. Of course, then I'd just be complaining that I can't find 1/16 scale chickens. I do have a duck, though!

Thanks Max.

I've done all types and there are plenty civilian figures out there, but they're probably listed as 120mm. Keep in mind they're mostly for figure painters, so they price will be premium.

I'll release this as an inexpensive head (as well as the rest of the crew) for RC guys, then rework the master as a full kit with cupola, body and separate gear (clear goggles, etc.).

Thanks.

I've got to work the numbers, but probably around $14 shipped CONUS, $16 worldwide.

That looks great! Are you planning on full figures (or at least torso and up for TCs), or just the heads? Could use some USMC tankers from WWII and Korean War...maybe some Chinese or Korean tankers from the Korean War.

Thanks guys.

No full figures specifically for RC, the market is too small. I did the Russian for the JS-2 and it took much more time getting it to fit the Tamiya base and assemble to grip the hatch, etc. than it would to create a separate kit with a cupola for the figure painters. A resin 1/16 goes for $50-60 in the figure world, but that Russian is slow mover at $25.

I'll do the US tanker head as a full (and the rest of the tank's crew) as a static kit with cupola that you can adapt, but offering the heads would be an inexpensive way to upgrade what's out there. Tamiya's M4 TC has the pose close enough, so if you want 'Wardaddy' in charge, just add the head.

Here's the Russian if you haven't seen it, I'll be reworking the master to hold communication flags and adding a cupola to the kit.

I'll be running resin tomorrow, so for now if anyone wants one of these or the jerry can set, just PM me and I'll put some aside and get you a price before I go through packaging, etc. and set them up on eBay (I won't be selling these on the website, just full kits, but stand by it just like anything else, if you don't like it, I'll take it back, no questions asked).

Here's the jerrycan set: 5 dented, pre assembled with different markings.

Thanks Gus,

Here's the website, but it doesn't have any 1/16 on it at this point. It was geared towards the 1/35 static world for years.

I'm not putting anything on it until I have a full fledged line going, so just PM me if you want something (or email direct [email protected] ).

I have Jeff's set of dented Jerry cans and they are really nice. The photo dose not do them justice.

Okay guys, got 'em packaged and ready to go.

Posted info in the classifieds. They're also on eBay.

Thanks again for the interest.

Sorry, Russians are all gone. I'll have an updated version as a static kit with cuploa and commo flags. Unfortunately the master is already broken down, otherwise I'd remold it as is for RC.
