First Foray Into Home Made Figures

[3Valve]

Ey-up folks.  Had a bit of time on my hands on Sunday so got out the Sculpey and had a go at a bit of figure making.

Came up with this g scale-ish drive figure for my Regner Otto.  Pretty happy with him for a first bash.

Before going in the over


Next to Bachmann figure for size comparison


Post baking, in the cab - he fits, phew.

Certainly looks the part, Gareth.
Was he based on Norman Wisdom?

Cheers Rik,

Not base on anyone really, he just sort of "came out of my head" as it were.

Well he looks bloomin' good. As good, if not better than Busybodies.....

With the mention in another thread of being buried with ones collection...
Shades of 'Terracotta Army' comes to mind!

Personally, I have all the artist talent (and natural rhythm) of a soap-dish! :'(

Nice work. Much better than I could do..... :-[

Now in glorious Technicolour.

Well turned out..
Though I fear his shiny boots won't stay that way long on the footplate!

 

[Gizzy]

I'm thinking?

Morph!

Nice work mate....

Painted varnished and installed in the loco. Hmm, what to try next...
