Impressive and inspiring work Mikkel, as ever a great combination of artistic and engineering skills.
Well worth the effort for the sharpness of detail and sense of place.

I'm making a bit of a mental list re exactly what I'm aiming to do with the assorted 2721 I have before things get any more disturbing on my thread. I already have Steropes on the back burner.
There's now been talk of how to build a model of Number 13.
It's all a little bit disquieting...

Really inspiring modelling as always, I do like the way you are using all manner of sources for parts, a man after my own heart, as I've been amassing details to upgrade my own Hornby 2721 tanks. Many have come from 247 Developments in Wales, they also carry different types of handrail knobs.

All the first class ladies have gloves on, and most appear to be thick leather ones so that could add to the size. The third class ladies probably do as well although it is difficult to see from Andy Stadden's web site, and I have not dug mine out to have a look.
I wasn't trying to be over critical, the figures really do look the part, it was only a couple which as I said were in cruel close up and probably won't be noticeable in reality where the hands looked large to me and those are not wearing gloves in the photos above. I did have a good look through Andy Staddens website, the figures he produces are truly impressive and I was rather hoping to find some suitable for the thirties and forties among the range, as I would definitely be getting out the debit card.
My bank manager is glad that I no longer collect military models, that's for sure.

One thing I have found with any kind of magnifier, (and common sense tells me that I should have realised) is to always ensure that you set the angle of the lens at ninety degrees to your line of vision for every job. Otherwise you do get a wobbly or distorted view whilst working.

I think that you've made a truly impressive job of painting those figures and I have to agree that less is more when it comes to shading. I've never been convinced with the dark wash some put onto figures. It seems to work on fantasy figures but not on humans.
Those hand carved figures are beautifully done and from an artist's point of view are very life-like. The only criticism I would offer is the proportion of some of the women's hands, they look bigger than mine! It's probably not noticeable except in cruel close ups though.

I was thinking much the same and that round pipe doesn't even look like painted iron, it looks more like plastic, certainly the top half.
