HBG US Sculpts

@Lozmoid:

Wow, the ground vehicles look amazing mate. The aircraft do seem a bit plain by comparison though.

I would say the level of detail on the aircraft is perfect. Remember, if you go too detailed on a scale that small, it makes it look cartoonish. The FMG Italian fighter is close to having this problem.

Well done Coach! This gives me so many new ideas…

Coach I got to hand it to you they look good and I like the new site. Excellent work man.

I prefer killing ALL the lines on the aircraft, just keeping the rudder, elevator, and flap lines. That’s it.

All those lines all over the place look cartoonish.

The lines look fine, keep 'em!

Gotta disagree with you on this one.  I think the extra detail looks great for such small scale pieces.  I really don’t understand why some of you are saying these pieces look “cartoonish”.  I just don’t see it.  They look great to me and I bet they will look even better when he gets the first plastic molds.

I wasn’t saying they look cartoonish now. I was saying leave the detail level where it’s at and don’t try to do more. THAT would make it look overdone.

Don’t make them with less detail.  If you want less detail you can buy more WOTC pieces.  They look great

[De Gaulle]

That Stuart…. :-o. Oh my gosh these look super amazing! You should post a zoomed in picture of those ground vehicles! The level of detail you put in these sculpts is absouloutley astonishing! Great work!

[dadler12]

He posted close ups of the vehicles on the facebook page, check em out they look great.

US Airborne Sculpt

New revisions, but I am still not done

some closeups

Coach, these pre-production examples. They look great.  1 question, is the barrel on the Stuart just a little bit to long?  I am really looking forward to purchasing your creations. Cheers

Yes it is,
I have not marked up the tanks yet, but I will shorten the barrel.
It is a good sculpt but I think they are off in size, 3mm too long.
I will look at it and make adjustments.
Thanks

Airborne looks awesome.  I’m more excited about this US set than any of the others.  Can’t wait.

Coach, you’ve outdone yourself my man! These are all fantastic. I know it’s dumb to get excited about the truck, but I love that thing! And the planes are great. You may need to go back and have the guy up his game on the Corsair. I think these are better than the other planes that were first done.

What Corsair?  Clockwise from 11 o’clock, that’s a B-25 Mitchel, a C-47 Skytrain, a TBF Avenger, a P51 Mustang, and judging from the wings, A P40 Tomahawk/Kittyhawk.  Admittedly, the P40 engine cowling isn’t narrow enough, but there’s no Corsair there.

Corsair is in my Marine set, and yes, P-40 is too wide!
