Dear Hobbyfriends, in the past you have seen several of my own dioramas and own production figures in the forum. In the meantime I organised several collectors into a group who already sculpted figures for themselves and urged them on to try to sell them. We created a shop at hagen-miniatures.de. Here we cast the figures ourselves and sell them for the collectors. It worked so good that we have now several sculptors on board too who make figures for us for cheap money. The last thing was now a cooperation with Benno's forum about 1/72 figures. Here we had the chance to get our own subforum about producing wishfigures for around 25 Euro. So any serious collector who want's to have his own range in 1/72 (we will try other scales too) can let us produce and sell his figures and earn money with it. The whole system is tranparend and can be seen here: link We already had the first topics on which we work on. For example exotics like my own German Herero-war 1904
Or the latest one, San Juan Hill 1898
If this idea is interesting for you too, try to contact us at Hagen and we can arrange things. cheers uwe |

Great idea. I assume they are sized to fit HAT plastics? |

1/72nd is 1/72nd. There shouldn't be scale creep :-) Plastics tend to mix better. I guess the real question is are they usig a 6 foot tall person as the norm and then dividing by 72? |

One Inch; So a six foot figure would be One Inch tall, back when Imperial Measures ruled the world. And it has become the entrenched/default Model Aircraft entry scale. Or a multiple (144, etc) |

They are converted from Zvezda figures, so they fit very well with HAT plastics. When I have the figures I will put them beside some average plastics so that you can see the size. Usually the figures are around 25,5mm from foot to the top of the head. cheers uwe |

The sysem finds more and more friends. Now another collector wanted to have Prussian Towarzys for the campaign of 1807. See here the masters Massimo made within two days.
