Lets see your crew!
 

I really need to buy some decently molded ones, these ones from Henglong/Taigen have like no detail to the moldings!

Are there ones on ebay as good as they look? such as like these http://www.ebay.com/itm/Verlinden-Pr...item27fb7960a2


I see there are several very detailed looking heads but haven't seen any bodies.

Anyways, here are the ones I have done so far. I think they turned out alright for what I was working with, would love to get my hands on a detailed casting!

Im very bad at painting, but here is my Panzer 3's commander.

In my defense I have to say that the commander has no details and is made of rubber! I would like to buy a more decent one for a reasonable price. Any ideas

I was offering Fury heads and Russian TCs for a while but the market isn't big enough to warrant much attention:

I have nothing at this time but plenty of stuff I have purchased ready for paint as I am still trying to learn.

Yours? Yeah, right. Tell Fyn I'm once again impressed with his work. Those look really good. :)

I usually don't build a tank that has figures, but I do have a few projects that turned out ok with 1/18 figures and a couple with 1/16 figures. I have a big bunch of infantry types, but they are not tank crew types.

Don't take it personally !!!!

P.S. All of these are r/c, not just static like my recent projects.

Those guys look really great, Rex, but givin' the Brit pimples was just mean. :)

Can I see more photos of the Bren? Please? :)

Rex was using his incomparable artistic skills to illustrate the horrors of war by portraying a young pimple faced kid being forced by the desperation of the time to fight to defend his country.

Thanks, Rex, that thing is awesome. Of all your work I've seen so far this is by far my favorite piece. The detail and paint are just phenomenal. And the fact that it's true Rc is excellent. It can't be much more than 8 inches long! If you ever decide to put me in your will, this is the one. :)

I'm hoping sometime in the future I can get all the info on how you did this one. I'd really like to take a crack at one of these one day. Incredible work, Rex.

Thanks a lot, Ryan. There I was, all set to walk in the local hobby shop, get the one can of spray paint I needed and get back out the door, but I've been reading this thread and right there by the paint was a whole shelf of recently arrived Dragon 1/16 figures, and that was all she wrote. But I really didn't mean to spend seventy bucks on a can of paint! It's all Ryan's fault!! :)

That Bren Gun carrier is one of my favorites as well. It was a pure accident that I found a cheap $20 r/c toy at Toys R Us that had r/c guts small enough to fit into the Verlinden static resin model, which is 1/15 scale. My model is 9.5 inches long. I had to scratch build the body frame, but I used a lot of the Verlinden kit parts to trim it out. By some miracle converting it worked out. I finally had something I could use to load up with all of the British equipment I had collected. I impulse buy a lot of stuff and then wonder what the heck I can use it on for years. A second set of the same r/c gear worked out for a Dingo. I wish I had bought a dozen that would work on other small stuff.

Some very nice figures posted in here!

Where can I find a Sherman Captain like this one? Is there much detail to the face? I love the pose.

He is from the Tamiya Sherman kit. You can usually buy the Parts tree that has him on it. Sorry I don't know which one it is though.

You've really got me thinkin' with that one, Rex. I've got a toy r us down the road and a while back they had these 1/32 scale RC tanks that might be small enough for this kind of stuff. The controller is pretty simple, left stick left track/right stick right track. Now I might pick one up just to see what's inside it. :)

Here are a few of mine.

That's funny ! ---- I'm going to do the same thing after I enlarge a drawing of the Ka-Mi amphib tank to 1/16 scale.at FedEx. A model of it would be 18 inches long with floatation devices.

I wish I could paint uniforms as good as you do. The uniform on the officer and the camo paint on the half trackare really good !!!!

Sherman Captain Answer: Part of the Tamiya Sherman 105mm rc kit and find the figure plastic at the AAF Museum PX or Tamiya USA.

Your painting and battle scenes always impress me. I wish I could paint half that good. After seeing some of these I don't even want to post mine...lol Great work guys!

[QUOTE=Rex Ross;12078710] I did not paint the halftrack, that is the factory paint. I did paint Rommel. Thanks

..not strictly crew, but here's some Brit officers I've been working on....
