Once there is a greater variety, I can order sufficient to justify the postage. Thanks! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMR CHRIS Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I too have orderd a Big Jim to go in an Australian O scale loco but went for the 1:48 version so I don't have to cut jims legs off or anything that drastic, the cab interiors always seem to be smaller than 1:43.5 scale as 1:43.5 people rarely fit in. So a medium 1:48 big Jim hopefully will be driving sorry resting in a Ozzy loco soon. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium ColinK Posted February 11, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 11, 2016 There is an article on the BBC News saying a significant number of trains are being cancelled due to lack of drivers. Perhaps it could be solved by printing some full size Jims? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Scottish Modeller Posted February 21, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 21, 2016 Hi all, Scottish Modellers have the figures and will be doing a demonstration using them. 'Painting Model Figures - Begin with Black'. This will be at Modelrail Scotland - FridaySat/Sun next weekend. If you want to have a close look (before you order) - come and see us on our stand.

alanbuttler Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 dammit, been asked to come in early so thats that plan out of the window! That was a real ! Hope it went well in the end. Will you be back with them for the stretch to Newtown? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Scottish Modeller Posted February 29, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 29, 2016 Hi all, The painting demonstration at Modelrail Scotland using these figures was a great success. If anything - too much interest as it prevented progress at some times! Anyway - the reception for the figures by the public was good, even better after explaining how the figures are created. As a result of the interest I've been asked to do the same demonstration at another show. Hopefully all this interest will result in more orders for Alan! Thanks 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Scottish Modeller Posted March 7, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 7, 2016 HI Jim, SECC halls are very dusty.... The butty box is good for several reasons! 1 - Stick the figures to the lid - gives an easy to grip handle to use when painting. 2 - The lid edge provides a steadying point to rest the paint hand on whilst painting. 3 - Once the lid is on it becomes a 'dust free' environment. I tend to use these for a lot of projects - like wagon builds. Keeps all the stuff together until you start building, then as a store of a built model until you get round to paining it. Allows me to display stuff in a safe environment! Keeps the dust off whilst paint/varnish dries. That should answer the query. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
