cromptonnut Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Can't help but think we're drifting off topic a bit but I do like to drift off to a bit of "Left Bank Two". You may need to be of a certain age to recognise it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted November 18, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 18, 2013 Very nice Rob.What's he supposed to be reading ? I take it he's not a railway figure from the Dart range. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePurplePrimer Posted November 18, 2013 Author Share Posted November 18, 2013 (edited) Very nice Rob.What's he supposed to be reading ? I take it he's not a railway figure from the Dart range. Hi Robin Yes he is a Dart one they call him "Man Reading" MCV20 http://www.dartcastings.co.uk/montys/MCV20.php I am not exactly sure what he is reading but due to the fact his clothes look like they match - ie not a lime green shirt and a pink jacket I think we have to assume not a copy of Bradshaw's ? Let me zoom into my picture and see if I can read the words - yup now I remember This is too tiny to paint - I hope I don't Sneeze now This is too tiny to paint - I hope I don't Sneeze now This is too tiny to paint - I hope I don't Sneeze now This is too tiny to paint - I hope I don't Sneeze now Edited November 18, 2013 by ThePurplePrimer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePurplePrimer Posted November 19, 2013 Author Share Posted November 19, 2013 (edited) Yet another Dart Casting - this seems to be very popular and in my opinion another great sculpt. I have a few of these on the painting bench right now 4mm Scale ... Edited November 19, 2013 by ThePurplePrimer 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePurplePrimer Posted November 20, 2013 Author Share Posted November 20, 2013 Well that's another batch done - all for a single commission All 4mm scale - 6 are Dart and 2 are Dapol ( yes he did want 2 of each ) 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePurplePrimer Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 Another 4mm one again from Dart Castings " Get 'orf my land ! " Specially good fun doing the Hunter logos on the wellies Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortliner Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 That is a really nice job! As an ex-wargame figure painter, I can appreciate the work that has gone into that! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePurplePrimer Posted November 22, 2013 Author Share Posted November 22, 2013 These three ladies are some of the ancient Dapol figures but I actually like these figures - tricky though 4mm scale 'Ladies that lunch' - well they are waiting on a platform and if I am being honest I don't actually know if they are going to lunch. See I feel bad now I might have been misleading, let's start again ... Ladies wot wait :-) 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePurplePrimer Posted November 24, 2013 Author Share Posted November 24, 2013 (edited) A 4mm Loco Fireman , Crew - leaning on a shovel - another brilliantly posed figure from Dart Castings Phew - you can almost feel how hot the work is he has been doing - I love it when the sculptor has really thought about it - the way the cap is slightly tilted back like he has just wiped his brow is genius. This one currently on my ebay store Edited November 24, 2013 by ThePurplePrimer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePurplePrimer Posted November 25, 2013 Author Share Posted November 25, 2013 (edited) I realise I have been neglecting you 7mm fans so here is one in that scale finished a few weeks back - from Phoenix this one Really enjoyed putting the glow on the tip of his fag on this one and painting in some cigarettes in the packet Edited November 25, 2013 by ThePurplePrimer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePurplePrimer Posted November 26, 2013 Author Share Posted November 26, 2013 Some of the old 4mm 1/76 Dapol ( ex Airfix ) figures have some very useful poses in them but can be tricky to get the best out of them. That said you can get a nice looking figure ( in my opinion ) if you put the effort in. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePurplePrimer Posted November 27, 2013 Author Share Posted November 27, 2013 (edited) Just finished this commission for a set of 4mm Dapol figures . I have to admit these were hard work and I am glad to see these on the varnishing bench now I might add another picture after the varnishing processes so you can see how they look before & after - a subtle but important difference in my opinion but possibly only visible to the naked eye.

ThePurplePrimer Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 7mm Figure - Dart Castings - This guy is Billy - also answers to Chubby - almost always not around when any work needs doing. Talking of work, I think it's about time someone gave the mugs a rinse >>> Someone mentioned some before and after shots - so here we go And then ... And then the offending crockery - YUKK ! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePurplePrimer Posted December 3, 2013 Author Share Posted December 3, 2013 This one is another 7mm figure from a Phoenix casting An interesting figure this one and plenty of uses - he could be a foreman and could be especially suitable for a goods shed or loading dock - or is he just a passenger - he could be any kind of railway worker really. This one is currently in my ebay shop Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted December 3, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 3, 2013 Is the 4mm driver figure currently on ebay this one on the left Rob ? http://www.dartcastings.co.uk/montys/MSV20.php Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
