MarcD Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I have had a few of these in the last few years. Also had some people asking if I would quote to build 12inch to the foot rolling stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsetan Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I get the feeling that fashion and clothing companies require a different sort of "model".... I can't really see P4 going down the catwalk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Ramblin Rich Posted September 1, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 1, 2015 Given the images you've used in avatars & adverts, some might think you do have access to *that* kind of model....! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium MJI Posted September 3, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 3, 2015 I used to use a model shop called Cotswold Models and they occasionally got sent pictures by young ladies wanting to get into model railways. They would send a letter accompanied by some scantily dressed pictures. They had them on the wall of their staff room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike at C&M Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 For those who know C&M, you will be aware that we do not have a display window at street level, so aside from the signage there is nothing to indicate what kind of models we do. In my 12 years in the shop, I have had a couple of people enter and asking about modelling for glamour shoots. Ironically, I have a professional photographer friend who used to do such shoots, hence the reason why the glamorous Fay is used in our advertising.

I can't really see P4 going down the catwalk. I am going to refrain from saying that P4 Models would get only part way down the Catwalk as they would be finding all sorts of things not within tolerances and moaning about us mortals, thus running out of time.
