Re: figures on ship models
Mr. Shirai's models are excellent and his display methods interesting. Add motion to the scene obviously.
My question would be where does he get the figures?? I've searched the web several times and have never seen "nautical" figures like he uses. Anybody know the source?? thanks Tom |

Re: figures on ship models
You need to go a bit further into his Alert post where he demonstrates how he modifies standard and paints 1/4" military figures . His technique is a bit more advanced than Danny's in that he reposes them and adds clothing, but similar in effect.

Re: figures on ship models
The above diagram by my friend Ken Hamilton gives a good example of how to re-position the various parts to make your figures look more natural.
