Hi all - I am a self confessed terrible figure painter, but I have always liked the idea of painting up some figures to accompany my 1:48 scale models. So here is some fun and a slight distraction from things with wings. The figure on the left is from CMK, and the one on the right is CSM - both are supposed to represent typical British flying garb. Both a resin and both are 1:48 scale. Painted with oils. They won't be able to stand alone as figures in their own right (they just ain't that well painted), but I think they will look interesting next to my F2B build once it's done...

Hi Brad

For being a "terrible" figure painter, you are very, very good. Painting faces in 1:48 is not easy, but I think you've done a very convincing job on these two – they'll look great next to your F2B!

Best Regards

Mikael

1000 times better then what I could ever do with painting figures . Very well done Brad . They will look very sharpe next to your planned project .

Hi Guys

Good thread, some good stuff on here, Being mainly a figure paint at heart I love the fact I can cover both sides of the modelling I am involved in by painting some the of the best sculpted figures of WW1 pilots and officers available, My favs are the 1/32 ModellCellar versions of the Aces and a couple of the busts that are now available from them.

Here is a couple I have done before and another couple I am working on

Dave,
Those are some excellent figures.Nice touch with maple leaves at Bishops feet.

Dave - nice idea - I did this 1:48 scale one a little while ago which is kinda similar (my first figure, and my first dog )





Pardon the awful German....! human Figure CSM.

Dave – great figure painting and compositions – like them a lot

( I have a couple of WWI 120 mm figures on the bench to do after I finish my albatroses... I did a lot of figure painting before starting up my current 1:32 plane craze)

Brad – really neat and funny idea with the dog Nicely executed too.

Best Regards

Mikael

Brad Cool idea on the wedgie, well executed especially in 1/48

Dave

Now here is a bit of fun. And it seems in typical Mike Good fashion its done from an original photo.

Just bringing this up and adding an available figure image.



Figure review here.

Hi Stephen

Is that uniform too early for the figure to along with a Fokker Eindecker E.I / E.II, as I bought the Eduard combo kit and wanted a different figure with one of them.

Dave

Greetings Dave,

The Flieger Combination flight suit shown on the Model Cellar figure above is from early 1918. Way too late for the Fokker E series.

Hi Stephen

I figured it was just too early, for the use of that suit, never mind, I want to find something......

Dave

There is a shot of Boelcke with one that buttons up the front center.

Now here is the 1:32 scale Model Cellar version.

Hi Stephen,

Thanks for posting the 1/32 scale version here on this thread - WWI aviation Pilot and Mechanic Figures. ...really fits the bill, huh?

...and the 1/32 scale version is from Model Cellar =).

regards,
Paul

Absolutely Paul!

It is a great natural progression. Though I enjoy every figure in your catalog, the Model Cellar line just seems to get better and as you add to it.

Here is the Aeroscale review.

Here is the Aeroscale review.

Just bringing this up for fellow modelers looking for figures.

Hi Steve,

Thought I would add these recent 1/48 scale figures to the thread. It's a WWI British RFC Pilot and mechanic (sold as a pair or separately).

Thank you Paul.

Beautiful figures Paul  – any chance they will appear in 1:32 any time soon?

Kind Regards Mikael
