Hi Pickelhaube,
Have you ever though of making 1:18th scale pilot figures? How about some modern pilots to go with the upcoming JSI F-14? I would love to paint them myself, and it would be cool coming from you. Just thought I would ask. Thanks for the time.

Fred, really looking forward to the JSI 1/18th scale Grumman F-14 Tomcat.

The only figure I have made was a WW1 German fig with SCALE M-16 helmet. It looked great but it vanished

.
To answer your question I could do it. I would have to steal a head sculpt. The fig would need to have:
Simple jump suit
flight helmet
air hose
What kind of articulation would you guys want ?
Can you post some pics of what you want ?
Kirk Douglas : Mine hit the ground first
John Wayne : Mine was taller
