I've got a baaad feeling....

[Alex M.]

Here's something new i couldn't resist starting...
It's the 1/48th USAAF bomber crew by verlinden.
All four of them are gonna be crowded on a base, and the one guy is struggling with his buckles, and his buddy is passing him a cigarette, while the officer stands around and the 4th points at the guy struggling.
I decided to play on those superstitious flyers, and call it "i've got a bad feeling about this one" (or something like that)
They'll be set on the edge of a runway, with grass on most of the base and some tarmac visible.

Any suggestions, feel free to offer

wow, what a blast from the past! ....

If you happen to notice the texture on the leather suits.... it's an impression of the creases of the skin between my thumb and index finger

Gordy, run that one by me again...are these your figures ? (i mean did you sculpt em?) either way, i really like em

One problem already is that the pointing finger wasn't included in the kit (broke and fell off somewhere inbetween casting, and my buying em)

SOOO i gotta find a way to make a new 48th scale finger..
