SE4 Box Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Can anyone help me with a small 00 figure that is climbing a ladder please. I am making a small section of the railway with a small diorama of an small industrial chimney with Fred Dibnah. Have looked around and cannot see anything/anyone who produces such a figure. Appreciate any help. Thank You Mike 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT The nearest they already have is this: https://www.modelu3d.co.uk/product/1481/ Edited July 16, 2020 by melmerby 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium melmerby Posted July 16, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 16, 2020 I've had a look through the Faller & Langley lists of figures and cannot find one of anyone climbing a ladder as a steeplejack would. I found firemen, painters, scaffolders etc. but all are in the wrong pose. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium petethemole Posted July 16, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 16, 2020 Some sets of military figures include "crawling" poses which could possibly be adapted. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
37114 Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 P&D Marsh do a window cleaner climbing a ladder, not sure if he would do and probably too tall for Fred? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was in Bolton Wanderers Black & White army ! Too Much Information! I do know all the local women used to chase after him as they all thought he was some loaded and had lots of money secretly hoarded away.
