when will the 1/200 IJN figures be available

[Christian M.]

Seems like there are a lot of people interested in scale sailors. Think someone is about to make some money.
...

Obviously Senkan ... and one of them is me.
When I started ships, I found only these flat PE figures from Eduard and they didn't convince me to use some. But now I see that there are more and more intresting sets. I think I will use some latest on my next build (HMS Dreadnought) if finding fitting one, maybe on my current building -IJN Mikasa- too.

If but they were in 1/700.......

Looking forward to nanotech?
But wait - then we are coming to part where we would be unable to paint the sailors eyes, buttons, etc

Purely a question of proper equipment, painting technology and of practice too ... and then you can even paint soon 1/1250 figures too

Ouch ...
I get some more grey hairs thinking about 100 figures per ship to paint in 1/350 for my current Mikasa and future ships later ... but 12,000 and in 1/700? Jesus....

Well, maybe some of them will be below on Sushi break

Seriously though, with the detail of these 350 figures, I wonder if 3D figures in 1/700 are that far off. Those flat PE gumbies never worked for me.

We have already sent sets of figures U.S. sailors to our partners in the U.S. - http://www.freetimehobbies.com
When Brandon get our package, then we will start to sell from our site.
The figures in the 200-m scale is printed now. Technology for creating sets themselves are not fast.
Now we are developing Japanese sailors, and if you can help us with photos and poses would like to see. This will simplify our work.
Create one set takes about two months. Since each figure developed separately.
Unfortunately we do not know how to make these figures in the 700-m scale without compromising on quality.

Watch this.

This is from the movie Midway. The outfits looks somewhat the same. But green for cold weather and white for warm.

My late war Yamato could need up to 60 seated gunners for there 25mm AA weapons.

It looks like Brandon is about to get hit by a Tsunami of orders and I hope to be riding that first wave!

We will be posting these on the website later this week hopefully.... the package is in the states... just waiting on our custom's office to clear the package

[rotley]

All I need is for the figures to arrive in Australia.

[FreeTimeHobbies]

The figures are now on our site for pre-order.... the shipment will hopefully (hopefully) clear customs next week.

[Admiral John Byng]

Brandon, did you mean only the 1/144 German figures? I can't see the 1/350 US figures on your site. Also please would you add NorthStar to the list of ship manufacturers as I tried to search for them that way first.

Thanks.

[Rdutnell]

I don't think so Admiral. I found them and ordered a set.

[Admiral John Byng]

I think I must have been on the 1/144 page somehow, anyway I went back and ordered them.

[Northstarmodels]

We sent to Brandon a parcel with figures in the 350 scale. Had some problems with our customs, as a large number of sets.
Soon we will send the figures in the 200 scale.
While these sets are not will be available in http://www.freetimehobbies.com/ , we will not sell it on our site.

144 scale in action plans by the summer.

We apologize for the delay of release of the project on the market. There was a lot of work done.
I hope our customers will appreciate our work very soon.

Now we have to develop Japanese sailors WWII and U.S. aircraft carriers staff.
