1/25 Scale Figures

[modelercarl]

Just got these 1/24 scale figures from Shapeways.  Been looking for some figures for my diorama other than pit crew or pinup figures and discovered these.  3D printed and very good quality, they have the texture that when painted should look very lifelike.  They have about (70) figures in 1/24 scale in a wide variety of poses for $7.00 to $11.00, non-painted.  About a 2 week process from selection to delivery.

I went over to the Shapway site and saw where they have a pair of Cary Grant figures . This is great for me as I'm re creating a corner of early Los Angles as a diorama trio . Thank You so very much for the information you shared .

There's tons of great stuff at Shapeways!  I want  to build a couple of modern 1/24 armed "technical" vehicles, like the Italeri (ex-ESCI) Toyota BJ-44, as used all over the Middle East. 

I could not find one essential item for those vehicles - 1/24 scale AK-47 rifles.  The vendor Anyuta at Shapeways makes them.  They are pricy, about $10 each depending on many you order.  But they sure look good.  Anyuta makes AK-47's in 1/24, 1/35 and 1/16 scales.  Anyuta also makes a 1/18 (!!) scale kit of the Fletner FL-282 "Kilibri" (Hummingbird), a WW2 German helicopter.

Eshaver: "This is great for me as I'm re creating a corner of early Los Angles as a diorama trio."  I can't wait to see that!  

Wonder if they can do figures of Fred MacMurray and Barbara Stanwyck, for a diorama from "Double Indemnity."  "I think you're swell. Long as I'm not your husband."

Mike , that would be wonderful ! See, I am re creating the corner of West Florence and Denver ave over in Hawthorne . In case that makes no sense , that was where the Zep Diner was along with a Gilmore and a Richfield gasoline station .

Amazing work, as always.  I have the book “Roar With Gilmore: The Story of America’s Most Unusual Oil Company” by Charles Seims and Alan Darr.   Great read.  As the authors point out, Gilmore was an oil company that people actually LIKED.
