Digital Sculpts - German Officer in Heer Uniform 200730

[Pinky]

Your new digital sculpt looks pretty good for a German infantryman from 1939 through 1941. The same uniform was also seen worn up until the end of the war. Maybe you could make the scalloped part of the pocket flaps just a little deeper

Except the gaiters didn't appear until later.  Given the focus of Rubicon's German kits so far has been 1942-45, it would probably make more sense for their figures to represent (as generically as possible) troops from that period.  The digital design is a bit of a hybrid - rather like WL's so-called "late war" Germans.

This is the copper master mould for the Desert Fox!  We are very excited about this because this meant a great step
forward for our studio designing and manufacturing our own 1/56 scale miniatures using a "standard" template!

The 3D printed figure in this image is the not one you seen previously, but a new sculpt with details greatly exaggerated
to make painting (and inking) easier for gamers!


Enjoy!

Excellent.

This is a direct scale up of the 1/56 Rommel digital sculpt to 1/16 and get 3D printed WITHOUT any retouching!
The details on the figure even at this large scale is amazing!


Enjoy!

This looks awsome great detail even in 1/16....its how figures should look....."Human"

I dunno about it being convincing in 1/16 scale, but it looks excellent as a 28mm figure.

Did you fix the 'bulge' in the top of the cap?

Scaling it up is for internal use, not for production.  If we are to do 1/16, it will be a super high detail one!

Did you fix the 'bulge' in the top of the cap?

Sort of... yes.

[Pinky]

Sort of... yes.

I think the cap is a bit OTT.  Probably a result of the figure's 'heroic' 28mm proportions.  It's unmistakably Rommel though.

Very, very good!

[Rubicon Models]

When there is no use for a mounted MG gunner, why not off-loaded the figure and make it useful?
This is part of our product development cycle... design & concept!




Enjoy!

Excellent!

[Pinky]

It's a nice idea.  I think the wall looks a bit odd with what seem to be 2 layers of bricks.  Maybe it's more appropriate for inclusion in an eventual figure set?  I think most people would prefer optional parts for the vehicle itself.

This is what 1/56 scale miniatures should look like!

Painting in progress on the newly revised 3D prototypes.
Some of these figures will be included in our SdKfz 250/251 Expansion Kit.
Will post more of these figures after they are painted up!




Enjoy!

[Pinky]

Very impressive!  No wonder you're so pleased with them.
