What is the name of the manufacturer?

 

[diamond cutter]

Sorry- I'm new to this site!
'HARDCORPS UK' is the name of the manufacturer.

Great to see your stuff on here Pete...and good luck to HARDCORPS UK for the future..!!

All the best...Roy.

Look good

These look very good and fill the desert tanker niche nicely. They would look well with DML's new Sherman III

HARDCORPS UK PICS-1st 3 figures (I can' seem to attatch the photos as they have too much size etc!)
The third figure is a British tanker in 'Pixie' suit, loading ammo.

Fourth figure is the second British tanker loading ammo-standing on AFV, receiving shell from the first (this one wears the tanker's helmet)-being moulded right now.
Also being moulded:
British MP in tropical dress, directing traffic
British seaman in duffle coat
British tank commander in 'Pixie' suit

will sort photos asap guys! (Just did it guys!)

Hi Pete,

I don't build anything other than US and German, but these figures sure could pursuade me to do a British AFV. Nice sculpts, details and poses.

cheers

the gay hussar!

Thanks to all for their kind comments!
I see what you mean about the first figure, his pose, without anything to lean on, does make him look kind of 'happy'.
I wanted people to see just what is in the packet without accessories etc.(well, that's my excuse anyway!)
It seems that I've created some confusion over the name of the new figure range by calling it 'Hardcorps uk'. Not being very involved with the international model world for some time has left me a bit out of touch with 'who's who', etc., and I didn't realize that there was another 'Hardcorps' business(es) around at the same time! Very many appologies for any inconveniance to them this may have caused!
So, for this reason, the name of the range will hereafter be known as 'JAKREI',which derives from the names of my two sons-Jake & Reis.
I do hope that this clears up any more confusion-sorry!

They look very good. I would like to see the seaman in duffelcoat.
I hope you have a great future ahead.
Can we order using your e-mail or do you prefer differently??

 

[gforceman]

Very good

The figures look very good and original. I might consider doing them in resin though. A lot of my AFV & diorama clients (we have a modelshop) don't like to populate their vehicles/dio's with metal figures. Donot why, but tankbuilders seem to prefer resin while pure figurepainters seem to prefer white metal. No critique, juqt hopeing to be of help. I hope one day to find the time to paint one of these as they are truley great looking figures.

Greetz,

Gino

Beautiful figures!!! The figures in shorts look very reallistic!
Love the faces.
Who did the sculpting??? The figure in Pixie suit seems to be
scuplted by different artist... no?

Hey Pete!!

Nice work Pete!! It's been a while, how's it going mate??

It is nice to see that you are still at it and that your talent has not diminished in the meantime. All the best to you!

And to Taesung, the figures are the work of Pete himself. Having worked with Pete myself in the past, I can say with confidence that he is a "crack" sculptor!

Cheers!!

Ah... I should have recognized his name!

 

[diamond cutter]

praise indeed!!!

Hi Mike!
It certainly has been a long time, (and not always an easy one!!!)
I only discovered this site a couple of days ago and it saves a lot on the fone bill!!!!!
Thank you for your compliments mate, coming from you that is praise indeed!!
I have not met Taesung, but I will be taking a stand at euro this year so hopefully both of you will venture back across the pond? would be great to catch up.
I have some unusual figures pencilled in for future subjects, and I do want to try to stay away from 'Ze Germans' if possible. Taesung has covered them really well, a far cry better than I ever did at least!!
Look forward to meeting you too Taesung!!
Keep up the good work
Best regards and wishes

 

[T50]

Hi Pete
Welcome to the site!
I'm not sure if I would be able to make it to Euro this year.
But I'm sure we'll have a beer together sometime in a near
future... maybe in Barcelona, 2008 World Expo?
Mike, are you going to 2008 World Expo?
