Bronco Type XXIII in 1/35th scale

Btw what's with the gay thing??? I just don't see it...

Screw you guy's ... I'm going home!

I'd take the figures as a bonus, as trout said. The most important parts are the ones that get the sub into the water.

Ditto.. a razor saw, some epoxy putty, ca glue and there you go with a whole new look. They'll be a whole lot easier to modify than the little ho & 1/128 scales I did for my Seaview an Disney Nautilus...

OK, you ungrateful, critical, arm-chair-expert, SOB's! Here's the rest of the gay Nazi sailor work:



Now ... go watch The Producers!

What I meant here was if they don't like your gay Popeye figures then get some of those commercially available 1/35 WWII German tank commander figures and modify them repaint them to look like sub commanders.

He's not gay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jeeze, guys! Give David a break. If you want to drop $$$ per figure go the Royal Model route & or get the Italeri S-100 crew set & hack away

I can't use a commercial product in the professional master work without permission, you know that! Doing so would be unethical and wrong.

Will these figures have separate arms so you could different poses?

Alternative might be to try using modified 1/35 scale German tank commanders.

Want repositioned arms and legs? Then, you go Doctor Mengele their Nazi butts ... just as Tom suggests.

I do not see why they need separate arms to pose. If you do not like the pose they are in, you can cut, reshape, and attach. That is part of modeling. I see these men as a bonus not a detriment.

Good grief! What a complete waste of time. I'm chucking those things out! They look like the props from a kid's animated cartoon skit!
"Orrible!"

How can a submarine on patrol be taken seriously with those 'orrible little faces peering over the conning tower?Very Angry The one on the left looks like a gay Popeye without the arm muscles.

One step closer to completing the production tooling: just finished the work on the three 1/35 scale Nazi sailor's that go up into the Type-23's bridge. Ten *** days of solid work!

A vital tool was this little, low torque 'engraving' tool I got from Harbor Freight. Pick one up if you can, these things are not always in stock. I'm showing how -- with the creation of a little brass adapter collar, a quick lathe job -- you can adapt it to accept both 3/32" and 1/8" diameter tool shanks. The little rotary grinder is perfect for the finer sculpting jobs, like these figures. And note the tool-caddy I made to hold both the rotary tool and bits.
