Popular Post birch1 Posted August 19 Popular Post Share Posted August 19 A recent model finished, of an abandoned Dennis Dart located somewhere in the Gloucestershire countryside. The figures let the image down a little I feel. I find it tricky to source affordable figures that are realistic looking - any suggestions, at risk of going off topic, would be really appreciated. 34 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcredfer Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Hopefully, without going off topic, figures seem to me to be more natural if they look as if they are focused on something - reading a book / newspaper, in a small group talking, looking at the approaching train / pram / dog/ poster / destination board [perhaps out of frame, but so many looking as it is clear what it is.....etc.. Just a simple idea, how would it look if the two figures were having a look at how that canvas cover was doing it's task? Or maybe looking at how the passenger entrance door could be fixed? 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got some 3D colour-printed figures from West Edge 3D in Australia, for 1:48th (U.S. O Scale) they worked out at about £7 a figure including shipping. Smaller scale figures would be cheaper. They are fantastic figures, I think.... 26 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've found that the Farish range of N-scale figures is pretty good and I use them in places where an observer might decide to look really closely eg; platforms or engineering works. They are quite expensive though so for more general scene setting I have bought much cheaper figures from China. I bought 50 unpainted and managed a fair job of painting them myself. Sadly only half were suitable (they were generic figures and there isn't much scope for someone wielding a scimitar on my layout). But I've just bought 50 'architectural figures' from a well known e-tailer and at £4 + £7 p&p they are quite acceptable for typical N-scale distance viewing.

Which bit of "3D colour printed" did you miss? 😉😁 They come without needing painting at all. 🥳 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post 46444 Posted August 22 RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted August 22 (edited) More meanderings down on the Wadenhoe & Lilford Light Railway. Here is 'Skylark' seen at Stoke Doyle Goods on a service to Oundle from Wadenhoe, having previously called at Wadenhoe Road, Pilton. A van awaits to be unloaded in the goods yard. No doubt it's contents are due to be delivered to the nearby Shuckburgh Arms. A good night always awaits at the Shuck!
