Good people of Planet Figure, this is my first post, I am so disappointed that Scale 75 have done such a thing. I got the news letter through today and was ready to send my order to one of my favorite suppliers, but they mentioned how badly it had been received here. Thank you gentlemen.

Dear forum followers

I want to share with you the explanation about the polemical caused for the last 1/35 vignette.
Everybody is claiming because we used commercial pieces to sculpt this vignette.
As all of you know, we are starting the new line of 1/35 figures to open new ways in hobby market.
All of you know more or less our 75mm range in which we try to take care about all details.
I think, we are very popular in this scale and you can like or not them, but never made traps.

When we started with the 1/35 line, we thought we must to follow a created style to don´t make a break into this kind of figures.
We ordered to one of our sculptors this famous vignette leaded for our production manager.
The sculptor is a known sculptor of scratch figures but he never sculpted for mass production.

The main target of the vignette, was to be an exact representation of the historical image but following a created style as explained before.
Our production manager gave to Santiago M. (Sculptor) some Alpine figures and Hornet accessories to use them in the sculpture.
There was a terrible misunderstanding generated by our production manager because the sculptor understood he must to use the pieces to sculpt the vignette.
The second mistake made by our production manager was don’t check that those pieces were used in the vignette.
The busy production schedule made to hurry with molding to give copies to be painted for the box art.

Scale75 want to be clear that we cannot blame on the sculptor for the mistake.
Our company admit his terrible mistake and apologize for it to everybody specially to Taesung Harmms (Alpine), Santiago M. (Sculptor), Hornet and all customers.

Scale75 and Roberto Sanchez as head of the Brand we apologize for all troubles it caused to everybody and is going to move away the vignette of the market till we re-sculpt the copied pieces .

Thanks
 
As the sculptor of the figures I'd like to apologize publicly.

When I was commissioned, I understood wrongly, that I could use pieces to sculpt the figures. My inexperience and ignorance of the world of production made ​​me make that big mistake.
This is the first time working for Scale75, and sincerely admit that Alpine was used to sculpt the figure of the soldier mountain. Firstly were sculpted entirely with FIMO clay but due to its low resistance to hold preasure in production both figures cracked into the mold. I could rescue the first one (falllschirmsjager) making a resing casting and then was repaired with milliput. The second figure was impossible to rescue and then I took Alpine as frame.

So I apologize to Mr. Taesung Harmms, Scale75 and all of You. I never wanted make inconvenience, I have nothing to hide, and I'll never make this mistake again.

My sincerest apologies


Santiago M.
