Plastic Busts

[Darrell Zinck]

Hi

Now that I have your attention, has anyone acquired one or more of these? The eBay seller is in China.

1/10 scale resin and a very large selection of topics. I am interested in the military themed ones and was just wondering.

..... how good you are with a paint brush.......... some 1/35 miniatures done by guys like Jordan are unreal for the size......

I admire the ones with such talents............ I could not do it..... the steady hand, the shading and weathering, knowing what color to mix...... that's why my truck is all the same shade of OD green!!!!!!

Hi Bob

While I am no expert, I would give this a try, I think.

Although not in a while now, I have done up a number of 1/35 figures over the years. The bigger scale and more reqmt for detail may be a challenge but I would step up to that.

The sheer variety of different busts offered is very pleasing to me but my Wife has vetoed any of the belly dancers or sexy sword wielding she-elves. If I dive in, I'm to stay on a military topic!! SS Troopers are OK but plastic boobies are not....kinda like supporting Ukraine!!

The ones in your link will all be knock off copies and be of questionable quality. Sadly ebay is full of sellers like this one from places will little to no copyright laws.

DARRELL: My question is....do you chose the "Sexy Nun Girl Seductress" or "The Marilyn Monroe Pose Sculpture" ??? I hate having to make decisions like this.

Hi Jordan

Yes, coming from China, I suspect that they are some sort of "knock off". Probably made from Melmac in classic tofu dreg quality!! Free shipping tho!!

Do you happen to know who makes the originals? Looks like a Verlinden from back in my day!!

Hi Robert

Sorry but that is an easy question. According to 9-er Domestic, I choose none (NOT Nun!).

I'm not against buying an original (in a military topic!). Jordan has a point.
