Historical Accuracy Meets Premium Craftsmanship
Our 1/8 scale figure collection represents the perfect intersection of historical research and modeling excellence. Each kit from Atlantis Models undergoes rigorous historical verification to ensure authentic representation of armor, clothing, and equipment from their respective eras. The Blue Knight of Milan showcases the intricate articulation and ornamentation of 15th-century Milanese plate armor, while the Silver Knight demonstrates the evolution of medieval defensive technology with exceptional molding clarity.
The Old West figures, including the legendary U.S. Marshal Wyatt Earp, capture the essence of America's frontier period with accurate period clothing, authentic badge details, and characteristic weaponry. These kits provide modelers with historically significant subjects that reward careful research and detailed finishing techniques, making them ideal centerpieces for any collection focused on historical accuracy and premium presentation.
The 1/8 Scale Advantage for Figure Modelers
Working in 1/8 scale offers distinct advantages for figure modeling enthusiasts. The larger format provides ample surface area for advanced painting techniques including oil washes, precise highlighting, and realistic skin tones that would be challenging at smaller scales. Detail elements such as chain mail, leather texturing, fabric folds, and facial features become accessible to modelers of varying skill levels, while still offering enough complexity to challenge experienced painters.
This scale also allows for impressive display presence without requiring excessive shelf space, making these figures perfect for dedicated display cases or diorama centerpieces. The substantial size enables the use of various media including acrylics, oils, and enamels, giving modelers complete freedom in their finishing approach. Whether you're exploring non-metallic metal techniques on armor or perfecting flesh tones on exposed skin, 1/8 scale provides the ideal working canvas.
