September theme poll round 2
🕑 Added 2021-08-08 07:54:03 +0000 UTCHello, my dear Patrons!
Staying true to my word, I announce second round of ele... I mean theme choosing for September.
This round will be shorter to allow me to start sculpting in the middle of next week.
Unfortunately not everyone voted during the first round, but i'm sure second round will decide the victor.
As a quick reminder -
1. Russian Recon team (summer) c.2000
Team, dressed in iconic KLMK masking suits and SMERSH webbings and carrying array of weapons. These will be perfect for 2nd Chechen war, Russo-Georgian war of 2008, conflict in Ukraine and a hundred more applications, because both KLMK and SMERSH are still produced and used.
For Corporal it will be classic range of AKs, PKMs and SVDs.
For Sergeant, I will add some more iconic Spetsnaz like Vintorez/Val and VSK-94/A-91
2. JSDF/German reinforcements
More legs, more torsos, more weapons!
For now I've seen requests for MG3 with a tripod and .50cal for JSDF. and i guess they will go to Corporal-tier because it would be fair. Plus a couple more riflemen of course!
So, I'm asking all Sergeant-tier Patrons here to share your opinions - what i should add to Sergeant-tier?
Also, I've seen request in FB for OpsCore helmets for JSDF. Are you interested? I can also make masked versions so they could be used with any other line, like Russians and Germans.

Some torsos with big 3-5 day backpacks would be cool and some gear on them for both Also would love a dedicated medic, having his G36C slung in a more "at easy" pose, not aiming oh and totally up for some KSK for a dedicated 6 man Elite squad with facecover
I would love some LMG and Sniper support for the JSDF and for the Bundeswehr, some KSK Options like G36C with Eotech.

Maybe a set of RPG arms for the JGSDF. They use a variant of the Panzerfaust 3, I think, so it should be relatively straightforward. Some regular Japanese helmets and hoods would be good, too. Basically I think extra arm sets might be the easiest way to add variety.

Oh, GATE crew is another big one for me. I want to believe i'll make them, but they will be in completely separate set, because i want to give them some extra attention.
I'd love a sculpt in the vain of shino Kuribayashi from the GATE series, She's an aggressive little powerhouse https://www.google.com/search?q=Shino+Kuribayashi&rlz=1C1GIVA_enGB881GB881&sxsrf=ALeKk01usIGDmhR8AusxWBjElEfC2VHLXA:1628442424095&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj7o-bh9KHyAhWtUhUIHbKYCqQQ_AUoAXoECAEQAw&biw=1920&bih=969#imgrc=knzGKAeI9qukdM

Maybe some Grenade throwing parts?

The only issue is that I can't find any info on which radio station was used in which years. I found some photos of radio stations but have no idea which would be correct one.

Too early to give up, it is only 8 voices out of 27. About MP7 - I'll take a note. I like this gun, it is used by JSDF and Bundeswehr, so it is perfectly OK to make couple of bodies with them. About commanders - yes, they will be for sure.

I see my desire for some Russians is losing out :v For the other two though, masked versions of the faces (both the style in the first release and new ones as well) would be useful as extra bits. Command style arms (pointing/doing silent commands) would also be neat and help to add some extra poses to the different groups. Smgs for both would be handy for special situations with them - I think the MP7 would be an option for both so that's only one part to be designed!

Officer and radioman for German reinforcements. No platoon is complete without.

It will be good to complete the JSDF and German first before starting on the Russians

Love to see helmets for the Japanese
