Digital Sculpt - Russian Truck Driver

Even though we have acquired a digital sculpting machine for a while, we have never really put it to good use.  To be proficient, you need a lot of practice and complicated by our heavy workload, we have basically done nothing significant in terms of production work... may be a few canvas tops, tarpaulins, and rucksacks.

During our last two production meetings, we have discussed about new projects for 2016 releases.  Our studio staff unanimously agreed we need to speed up the adaptation process to go FULL digital sculpting.  After a week of fiddling with the sculpting station, here is our first digital sculpt figure we produced!

Wow thanks guys!! Looks really cool, detailed and anatomically correct (not big headed and even bigger hands). I'm a huge Rubicon fan, but one of the things that was pushing me back from buying open toped Rubicon vehicles was the crew... and well.... you seem to start sorting that out!
I got a question, how are you planning to implement this on previously released vehicles? I guess than in future ones, you will include them on the box. Maybe a solution could be sell them separately. That could work for "closed" topped tanks, as the crew only sticks out of the hatch. For open topped could be more difficult as each vehicle would have his own specific crew. Anyway, I'm sure you will sort it out as always!!!
Good luck and thanks!!

Making mould for figures require slightly different method than making vehicles.  We still need to master the technique before we go into figures en-masse.

As for existing kits, we probably will release two supplement products next year to fill the gap.  Please wait for official announcement.
