OO Gauge Modern Fire and rescue figures. I think Bachmann done them?

[aeroken1]

Hi All, Im looking for a couple of sets I think they are Bachmann sets of 5 or 6  modern fire fighters/ fire and rescue. Can anyone help. Thanks

If you’re looking for a bargain basement option you could have a stab at modifying some cheap figures!

 

I did an office fire alarm evacuation scene on Worthing MRC’s Loftus Road a few years back using those cheap unpainted Chinese 1:75 figures you can buy on eBay for a pound or two a pack!

 

 

Starting off with the unpainted figures, suitable examples were picked and Blu Tak helmets made up, and for those with breathing apparatus, a piece of cocktail stick was fashioned for each to wear!

 

Next, they were painted into the older LFB black uniform (rather than the newer wine colour!) very carefully with tiny ‘00000’ paintbrush! 
 

 

I did a team of 5, and positioned them on scene, here some can be seen with their fire appliance, an Oxford model I’ve bodged with sides cut out and some equipment made up from offcuts of plastic (and more Blu Tak!) and then just painted up!

 

 

Finally our assembled workers at the evacuation point await their return to the workplace once the all-clear is given!

 

Painting all the figures from the cheap Chinese ones was quite fun and the whole scene literally cost less than a couple of pounds to do!

Here’s our thread with some more detail, the postings were about 2015 if I recall correctly!

 

Cheers,

Jameso

Hi , Yes had seen these but not that impressed with them to be honest. Will keep them in mind though as a last resort. Cheers.

Just wanted to say how you’ve really captured life in that pic! The yellow vested fire wardens, office folk and gaggle of factory workers all in matching uniform! All talking in their separate groups of us and them!

Thank you so much! I took inspiration from the places I’ve worked and the dynamic which always seems to play out! 

 

The part I’ve yet to replicate is the experience of being outside in the works car park in the inevitable drizzle during a Winter’s morning
