There is discussion about REALISTIC 1/24 figures to go with our 1/24 cars....Someone sent a link of resin figure Zombies! In 1/24 that you put together and paint. In the Forum under "General" These would look great with your vehicles!

Those Zombie Figures are Awesome!!! Im getting some of those for my Zombie Hunter Build! Thanks for the Link

My List Of Figures B.A. Baracus Micheal Knight Steve McQueen James Dean Nicholas Cage Mad Max Rick Deckard Danny Tejo Lindsay Lohan (haha) .......

You see.... What ever is out there is hard to come by or you practically have to make yourself..We are in dire need.. CJ...I've seen your Wip during my search..Excellent composition!.Can you put high heels and..can you cast copies when your done? lol Her pose looks natural and can be used on any car.

Yes Mike Good is a true artist!... I have severally his examples... From 1/32 scale... His portraits are LIFE LIKE at that scale ... That 54mm! He's on PlanetFigure but I'm not sure what name he is under

Yes I bought the welder chick in 1/32... It a bit cartoonish almost anime... Casting was rough for the price I paid...sorry

I wouldn't go as far as fitting them in the drivers seat... A stand alone figure would be great visual impact... A generic stand alone would be more versatile for anycar as oppose to a race specific driver... If the market was flooded with generic figures then more specialized figures can come to play... I'd be happy with a sexy female standing by Aoshima Aventador

I've just been on Statute Forum website and in "Sculptors Corner" (forum section) Started a topic about the need for figures in 1/24, 1/16,1/18,1/12,...and even 1/8.... Theses are scales I would like to see figures of Males, Females and even Zombies!....made

Let's get these sculptors interested... Let's have options... let's have variety.

Plane and ship builders all have realistic figures to compliment their models... Even WW1 planes have figures... And they sell quite well. Some of these figures look amazing in primer... so you can't totally screw it up. Our hobby is moving to mixed media.... so learning new things is always there... If we didn't... We' d be bored building the same things over and over.

I'm sorry I'm never cared for Preiser... Part of a realistic figure is the posture and expression... Preiser gives that "Department Store" mannequin feel to them... A bit life-less. It's been around for decades. This goes to show that the market is wide open.

Knight Models is where you can get the Joker Figure. I think its 90mm and in white metal...they have Star Wars and Marvel figures there too

I can spend $50 on photo-etch junk that no notices inside the engine compartment...I'd rather spend money on a life-like figure to put beside my vehicle and have a greater impact in a diorama...and have everyone appreciate it. We need to step it up and bring car modeling to a higher level.

Darren B...this was done by scluptor whos work has been produced. This is now being sold by Nocturna. Its sexy...but its fantasy and is in a specific niche...but people are buying it...its sold out at the moment... and i bought one myself...its not my genre...i like cars and planes...but i still bought because its hot! If someone made a generic sexy female for example .... in 1/24 with clothes (haha)..it would go with any car!.....millions of people would buy it

These are samples of the level of realisim and detail im looking for.

NO guys not those...Im talking about someone sculpting a realistic figure like on PlanetFigure....these are high quality realistic figures in cast resin or white metal...you put together and paint....the sculpts are real in appearance, I build 1/32 WW2 planes and they sell resin pilots in 1/32 to compliment them. Some of these figures are a hobby in itself. I dont want cartoonish ready made ones.. Please check out Model Cellar, Ultracast, Alpine Studios PlanetFigure...These are mostly military but youll get an understanding of the level of detail and realisim..1/32 is quite small but the details are amazing! So 1/24 shouldnt be difficult...

Hello Everyone, I am really surprised that we do not have realistic figures to compliment our 1/24 1/25 scale cars/trucks. There are a wealth of amazing figure sculptors out there...but there usually for military of fantasy figures in different scales. Sculptors like Mike Good or Alfonso Gozalo Lets comission these professionals to produce some nice resin figures. Imagine a hot sexy woman beside your hot rod or exotic vehicle..or a famous personality for your tv/movie vehicle. Famous or not....just as long as its realistic and correct scale. It would take our hobby to the next level.. Come on scupltors lets get some amazing figures to go with our vehicles...The possiblities are endless!

Just ordered the kit and PE set and the Wheels from FG models..Thanks guys for all the info

Ok thanks J.... It looked like the box art for the Japanese Version was different from the HLJ...i thought that HLJ was the international version......I will order from HLJ

I can't seem to find anyone who sells the "Japan Only" full engine version. I've e-mailed HLJ and they didn't have any info. I wish Aoshima offered just the full engine sprues as an upgrade for us. That gives us the option.

Will you be getting the HRE "Vintage" Wheels from FG Models??

what about the Entex 1/16 300SL?

rootbeer..rootbeer...ROOTBEER

Awesome ride! How about adding a red pin-striping on the hood scoop to tie in the look?

How about some Sombrero hubcaps?
