August Plastic Figure Time Nardi
August Plastic Figure Time Lone Star
Readers Request.
Benjamin Saidel is looking for information pricing on the three-inch Mcfarlane’s toy soldiers. If you can help it would be appreciated.
Admin with all respect please .Minor update -The first figure looks to me a XILOPLASTO-CROMOPLASTO very well conserved by the way and mounted in else(other maker) base.NARDI never made figures in rubber(in Italian-Gomma or plastico flexibli)
All NARDI no composition are semi swoppet,or torso/or head moves and/or have separated base not rectangular line shaped plus made PVC-plastic material ..Included Uruguayan factory production .
NARDI made 4 main scales .
4 cm approx (Export / Nardini)
5.5 cm approx (Universal / Scale 1:35)
7 cm approx (Medium / Scale 1:22)
12 cm approx (Super / Nardoni)
NARDI mark all figures bellow with brand and in case Uruguay with the country name bellow as well.
The figure below may be ISAS solid series that copied not cloned the company CROMPLASTO in style but not exact poses or detail .ISAS solid poses base in CROMOPLASTO are PVC and not rubber
If is CROMPLASTO then should be mark CROMOPLASTO,XILOPLASTO or ITALY and were made of rubber most and few series in some type PVC.
ISAS non swoppet solid series painted are very hard find as limited done X less 4 years production.
Regardless two very nice well conserved figures what you got there.
The LS FFL are well done and nice very hard to find poses set.I had not able complete my set yet.
Too bad was nor recast in 90s along other LS sets.I imagine mold never found recovered as few others.
Ironical too LONE STAR made FFL set but not arabs and also did the afghans(reissued ) but not British colonial soldiers to go against them .
best regards
you are right. I saw the Nardi and did not disagree with the base. LOL
Do any collectors out there have any experience with 3-D plastic printing. I have some excellent 1/24th scale Elastolin type figures and 60mm others which I want to scan and print out in 1/32nd scale. Has anyone had any experience with this type of technology?
No direct experience with 3D printing yet but can recommend that you get yourself a Micro Mark catalog for a start. See the 3D scanner they sell for $1,299.00. An expensive item but with it you could scan any of those figures and re-scale the digital files to 1/32. Of course then you need a printer to make the figures – that’s another capital investment but once you get the hang of it you will be creating some cool stuff. I hope someone else will respond to your query with better info, I am really curious about 3D printed figures as well.
Nice Nardi’s !
