 Somebody gave me these – can’t remember who. <\/p>\n

Anyway…<\/p>\n

Slaters O gauge figures. Note not 7mm scale. Theses are famously underscale and closer to 6mm. Not only that, but compared to the worst whitemetal figures they are lousy and even more so compared to the latest 3D print offerings from Modelu et al. That notwithstanding they are fine to be seated in the gloom of a coach interior. So with a few days away, I loaded the car with a dozen and spent the cold dark nights furiously cleaning them up and painting with a fairly muted, limited palette.<\/p>\n

They seem to be still on the market for around a tenner for a pack which considering the above is probably quite reasonable.<\/p>\n
