Thanks, Steve. I was thinking that I could use him for G3 but at 135mm he would be 10ft tall! Do you know anyone else who sells figures that would suit G3, even at a pinch?

I am looking for two guards C1880.
fingernails?I'm sure I'll spot something I wish I had done
I'm keen Geoff, not mad To be honest, even if the casting was clean enough, I'd struggle to paint a fine enough line around the outside of the nail - I think it would look a bit obvious in a way.fingernails?
Soon to be a pair of miserable old buggersNow you've weathered one, they look like father and son.
A good start with the figures Steve .
An enhancement to these would be to apply a black/brown wash over the uniform to accentuate the creases and use a light brown wash over the flesh tones.
I would also paint the buttons with brass and lightly drybrush the knees, elbows and cuffs with a lighter shade of blue as these wear first. And hit the top of the creases with the same lighter shade.
make too much of a contrast because at this scale light creates enough of its own natural shadows.
Going to have to disagree on the buttons, I want a late 70's early 80's style preservation / industrial / estate working railway feel, grubby but well loved
because your driver just has to face the right way
That would be the ultimateIt needs a turntable mechanism in the floor of the cab which swivels the driver to face the right way when the loco changes direction .
Surely some small and clever hidden servo might be possible?That would be the ultimate
