Ripley is bang on here, plastic is so easy to convert and these are great, bring on the "Yanks".

We might not be doing much British vehicles lately, but we are hard at work
to create a commander to go against Rommel (in plastic)...


Enjoy!

That's an astonishingly good likeness.  It would be great if you could capture that in plastic.

Would Monty come with a vehicle you're planning?  The most obvious one would be his Grant command tank...

I am afraid not... at least for now!  Not sure yet... ;)

Patton and Willie would be a nice addition.

Going inline with the Monty sculpt, here are some Russian tank crews...


Enjoy!

I'm note sure about the female tanker.  Her proportions don't look right (especially next to the male, who I realise is slightly 'heroic').  Granted, you want her to be slighter than the male, and you don't want to over-emphasize her female features and end up sexualising her as a figure.  But she's ended up looking a bit weird - more like a young male than a woman.  If you're going to do a female tanker, then she might as well be recognisably female.  I'd suggest narrower shoulders, a bigger head and perhaps a bit more shape.  There are other female tankers who were more curvy -  maybe they'd be easier subjects?  Maybe leave the helmet off as well?

@Pinky, somehow knew you will post these comments.

We have researched and studied a lot on human anatomy, and also obtain many
online references from many reputable sculptors.  The current sculpts still does
not "look" right but will get a 3D print before we make any possible changes.

What could the Soviets do without her commander-in-chief

Zhukov looks good - another very close likeness.  Maybe he needs to be thinned down a little, as he looks a bit portly, rather than barrel-chested.  I think the challenge of successful 28mm figures is the proportions, and it's ultimately a matter of eyeballing them rather than trying to do it mathematically.

The female tanker is a good example - while she's probably quite naturally proportioned (for a relatively slender woman), she looks wrong next to the male.  She'll also tend to look even less feminine and an actual plastic figure.  Of course, much more experienced figure designers than Rubicon still struggle to produce convincing female figures (without resorting to oversized boobs etc).
