    My 1:20.32 Scale figures site

    I've been sculpting my own figures for about 2 years now and casting them. You can view my gallery or go to My Site and follow the nav links to other projects I'm workng on.

    I like modeling ships, polynesian canoes, and implements of war, building ukuleles and guitars, and have been researching my first automobile (1905 Ford Model A) which I want to build from scratch.

    Right now I'm focused on Narrow Gauge Trains. Primarily the Oahu Railway which began in 1889 and continued on till the early 60s. I am originally from Hawaii, so thats one reason for the interest, but my last name, which was originally Kapuaalahonioniikealahao, was given to my grandfather who was born on (according to family legend) B.F. Dillinghams private car. Our last name literally means "The chilid disturbing the railroad" in Hawaiian.

    I hope you like what you see, and if you have any tips or feed back, feel free to share them with me.

    Those figures look great, I like the poses too, very nicely sculpted. Only problem is they all look very American! I'm after some 1/19th figures for some Welsh slate quarry locomotives.

        Alan,

        They are mostly Hawaiian, not American. BTW, post me some hi res images here of the workers you are interested in, and I'll give it a shot. I'm always interested in new projects, and the name of my site loosley translates to People of Earth, and I guess Welsh people qualify

          This site is a great resource for the kinds of figures I'd be interested in.

          The Transport Archive- Three Centuries of Transport

          It's well worth spending some time navigating the site, the early steam locomotives the working conditions, clothing and their posing on the locomotives are very intrinsic of that period.

            Alan,

            I'll give it a look and let you know when I have sculpted something. Did you say you work in 1:19 scale?
