Figures Set for the Juan Sebastián de Elcano Sailboat (1/140 Scale) by Artesania Latina

Set of 21 1/140-scale figures for the "Juan Sebastián de Elcano" sailboat model

Artesania Latina 22521F

A model without anyone on board is just a moored boat. As soon as you place a figure on the deck, the eye has a point of reference: it knows the height of a rail, the width of a hatch, and the actual size of the boat. It is the only accessory that alters the perception of scale, which is why it is the first to be added.

This set includes 21 crew fig figures s at a 1/140 scale, designed specifically for the Artesanía Latina model of the sailing ship “Juan Sebastián de Elcano” and for no other model in the line. Officers, sailors in work uniforms, men and women engaged in maneuvers or on deck duty: each figure is designed to bring the model to life without overwhelming it.

Figures 3D-printed: the level of detail required by the 1:140 scale

At a 1:140 scale, an adult measures approximately 12 millimeters. At this size, a molded fi figure e immediately loses the features that make it recognizable: the folds of a jacket or a cap, a tool in the hand, or the tilt of a body pulling on a rope.

The twenty-one figures in this set are 3D-printed, which is precisely what allows these details to be preserved. The forms remain distinct, the poses recognizable, and the sculpture provides a solid foundation for the brush. You retain complete freedom when painting; the sculpture is already complete.
