Thank guys! Happy Hanukkah!
Mark, thanks for reminding. YES, I am going to include some folks and needed to get them ready NOW. I still had some posable figures in the set that Gerry Golembelski sent me for Nighthawks. They're true 1:48 and fit on the furniture nicely.
I had enough left over that I could get folks into the living, dining and foyer.
These figures are true 1:48. Many O'scale figures are bigger, more on the order of 1:43 which is UK O'scale. I have some of those and they wouldn't have fit on those dining chairs or got their legs under the table.
I have a conversation group for the living room.
For the foyer I have this guy and a person that looks like his mom that I didn't stand up.
I started painting them all and decided to make it a diverse group. You can see the foyer guy's mum on the left. I made her a gray-haired older women (My age???).
I'll finish painting them all tomorrow. They'll be placed and then the interiors will be ready to install into the House. When I do this kind of painting, I stick a bit of Press-n'seal onto my work surface and use it as a disposable pallete. With figure painting you're constantly mixing in between colors. I have trouble painting eyes on figures this small. They're not very well resolved so it's hard to get the paint where it's supposed to go. Tomorrow all the base coats will be nice and dry which will help. I force dry acrylics with a TopFlite Heat Gun. I have to be careful because it puts out enough heat to melt styrene.
