Matt Carlton Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 I found this place on eBay, if anyone fancies a scale celebrity head for a model, give it a squint. https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/wholesalevip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff S Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 I've seen them before, I think. They're considerably more life-like than the vast majority of model pilots I've seen. A pity the there isn't a wider scale range - most are either 1/12 or 1/6. The few celebrities I know by sight are readily recognisable in these sculptures. There's a furniture shop in Belper that displays ornaments/sculptures carved in wood (birds and animals, mostly) that are incredible and often priced at less than £20. They also do tin-plate cars/vans etc about 300mm long which are also painted at around £30 each. I just don't know how they can be made and sold so cheaply. They're incredible. I don't actually want one (too many dust gatherers as it is) but I always have a look when I walk past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Meade Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Don't forget me if you need a body for that pilot ? https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/printedpartsfactory/m.html I also have a 3d scanner, so can scan your heads too. Not sure if I should offer this service at a show or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul De Tourtoulon Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Some nice stuff there Andy, I have seen people scan at shows but only for those clear resin blocks, it would be nice to scan head and shoulders and print them, or why not sell the information ( forgotten the word ) so that we could print them ourselves,,, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul De Tourtoulon Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 All I got from them was this,, We will scan you and print you. We can also sell you your raw, unedited scan file. If you are interested in having this done, our next show will be at Weston Park International Model Show, 17-19th June 2022 Hier, à 11:25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
