blimey that's NICHE!

Andy, what headgear are you looking for? There are very many manufacturers out there, but I need something to aim at....you could take heads off of weaponed figures and use them on pacific types.....
I get the impression you want LRDG types in passive poses? If so, Arabic type heads might suit....

Not that niche Neil, try something like 7TV

for variety or unusual stuff....but all in 28mm I’m afraid...20mm (1/72) is a bit harder to find.....

Hi Tim, there's a guy stood in front of the vehicle in my first post. Something like that but without a weapon ideally.

Thanks for your time on this (and others). It was only something I mentioned in passing, I wasn't really asking for help, so I appreciate all your efforts.

**Tim Marlow** · 19 August 2020, 13:05

No probs mate, it’s chucking it down in Somerset so time is what I have!

**Steve Jones** · 19 August 2020, 14:32

Another great update mate. Nice to see you having a bash at the figures as well.

**Tim Marlow** · 19 August 2020, 14:34

An option, though might still be a little too military...and a bit older.

Thanks Steve. Slowly, slowly catchy monkey lol.

Tim, the first two look like they might work. Thanks again.

I'm still working on this bit by bit, but had my first proper day off in a while today so managed to get something done that's worth showing (I hope lol)

I'd added the MAZ 537 winch onto the trailers load bed already, so figured it was time for some stowage. I started with some random resin bits. They are from a bag of 1/35 seconds I got cheap, but will work fine here.

Primed, then partially covered with a PVA/paint tarp

I splashed some paint around. This also softens the tarps structure, so helps with shaping

Then I added a few more bits, some coming from the MAZ donor vehicle.

Looking good Andy :thumb2:

**Guest** · 26 August 2020, 20:50

Thanks Jim

**scottie3158** · 27 August 2020, 14:20

Andy,
All progressing nicely the stowage looks good.

**Guest** · 27 August 2020, 16:20

Thanks Paul.

I thought I might as well try and see if I could do something with the figures I already have. I wouldn't say it was a great success, but given the size it could have been much worse. Tamiya sized bottle top for scale.

I started with the Dapol railway worker on the right. I repositioned his left arm a bit and tried to adjust his clothing and headgear with milliput. He definitely needs more work, but with a few more attempts I might be onto something, although I'll never make a sculptor :smiling5:

They don’t need much more work at all, if you ask me. Just sharpen up the hat and the bottom of his coat (cut it straight with a knife) and add the front fly (again, carve it with a knife), and you’ll have a very acceptable figure once painted up. Sure, more practice will probably make your next attempts better, but you certainly didn’t ruin this one

**Guest** · 27 August 2020, 17:14

Cheers Jakko.

Really struggling to do much better given his size, but it's already better than I'd hoped for so if I can manage a few tweaks he'll get included.
