Figuring things out...

I've been busying myself painting figures of late to populate my layout. They are, so far, a mix of Slaters and Aiden Campbell figures painted with acrylics from the Tamiya and Games Workshop ranges.

 

A number of seated passengers have been fitted to my carriages, Aiden Campbell whitemetal ones in Festiniog semi-open 'Tourist Car' No.37 to ad weight, and slaters in the Talyllyn 3 compartment, as it has a whitemetal underframe and enough weight. My two 'teak' coaches already have passengers fitted, and just require finishing (windows and roofs mainly)

The other figures include three enthusiasts, one with video camera, one with a camera and the other with notebook. They will be positioned around the layout once I have finished my scenic alteraions. The two fighures on the far left of the row are seated diesel drivers, both have been given different high-vis clothing and will be installed in my locos once I have built interiors for them.

I'm looking for some figures who I can position leaning out of the windows of a couple of vehicles on my workbench for a bit of variety too.

Using whitemetal people to add weight is a great idea, I must remember that one. Also, Prince of Wales looks fantastic, nice bit of work there.

Some nice painting there. I'm glad to see that the Slaters figures will be in an enclosed coach - they always look a bit flat to me.

Thanks for the compliments! The slaters figures are a little two-dimensional, but as passengers, they do the job!

 

Cheers
