1/4 scale girls

[dpride]

I have made a few 1/4 scale figures (about 20) and thought I would post a couple here.

I am making a "rockabilly" girl for the dragster I am building atm. The first one is a print from a digital sculpt in Zbrush.

The rocket girl was modeled in super sculpy, molded, and cast in urethane resin.

Holy Bazooka!

David you must really love the 50's Cadillacs with the Dagmar bumpers......!!!!!!

David, we seriously want to hear more about what you do. You sculpted these by hand or modified an existing kit? They look fantastic in either case.

Jantrix, the "Bazooka Girl" was digitaly sculpted in a program called Zbrush. I converted the file (3D) to an stl file and the body was "printed" on a 3d printer. The head, hands, and boots were printed at a higher level because I didn't want to sand or do too much work to them. Then all pieces were molded (silicone) and cast in polyurethane tool grade resin. Painting is with an air brush. Clothing and other bits scratchbuilt.

The "Rocket Girl" was sculpted by hand from a polymer clay called "super sculpy" over a wire armature and molded and cast as the others. I don't build kits of these girls or kits of cars for that matter because I like having unique models.

It keeps me off the streets.

Nice! Now if we could only see quality figures like this in 1/25!

Awesome sculpting and painting. The Rocket Girl looks like a Coop drawing come to life!

Thanks for comments.

Jim B, the people who do my printing can get this quality (1/25 scale) at the higest resolution, but it's not cheap.

This is a sculpt and build I did a while back. The bike is inspired from the Akira cartoon. At 1/4 scale.

The bike has printed tires, wheels machined from 6061 aluim, and body from heat formed styrene sheet.

The rider is sculpted from polymer clay, molded, and cast in tool grade urethane resin.

That looks just like the bike from Akira withe the decals removed.

Yeah, but Kanada didn't have (ahem) assets like that.

[Jim B]

Thanks for the reply. I bet they wouldn't be cheep!

Jim B, there are a few printed 1/24 scale figures available without the set up costs (digital sculpting).

That's some great work. I love to paint large scale (usually 1/8 to 1/5) figures but my nearly non-existent sculpting skills leave me limited to kits.
