Want to Commission a full figure, any advice

[CDR Hood]

I just had an order of hundreds of one figure completed and am looking at my next project. The last one was a custom of an existing figure (so prototype was on hand already) but this one will be all original.

The only problem is I do not know who to have the prototype done by.

I am mainly just looking for the body as I will have various heads and there are a number of people to do those. The body will be something between later 21st Century 1:18 figures and G.I. Joe ARAH. No O-Ring, it will turn just below the waste. Ideally it could fit in with both 21st Century Military Figures AND G.I. Joe ARAH.

I have the production part down, just wondering about the best way to get the prototype made.

An advice appreciated.

Are you the guy in FL. who is doing the black major figures?

There was a guy on small scale military headquarters who made 1:18 soviet infantrymen for his t-34 tank made by pickelhaube, his sculpting work was supreme, comparable in detail to Alpine miniatures 1:35 figures. I'd see if he can do the figures for you

Nope not me, but thanks a lot for the info!

Hard to figure out how to actually email him on that site. )

If you have a factory lined up for production, they should have in house facilities to make up a prototype.

They don't. Also, I'd really like someone who is more fluent in G.I. Joe ARAH and 1:18 21st Century figures.

Weylen is the the guy you speak of.

He is a very nice guy as well as talented.

I think that he is very busy this time of year.

He does this professionally and works for a company who makes figures.

He hails from Taiwan and the best way to get a hold of him is actually join the Small Scale Forum.

The figures that he made for my T-34 look fantastic and very life like . !!

Thanks Pickelhaube!

Also, here is the latest figure I had made. I really like the way they used G.I. Joe molds to make Red Laser and Red Jackal.
