Little People

FrankM, your work also makes a statement in itself. Just tremendous work!

I noticed the title of this thread and thought, hmmm..... I didn't know the Roloffs were into model railroading. :-)

Awesome little people and scenery, Frank. Great use of color in your pictures.

Here are some more li'l folks doin' stuff...

A few of my (mostly) prewar little people waiting for the train.

So I don't have a lot of people yet. So here's some of them and some interlopers.

Hurry and wait..... always time for a game of checkers though

Back to baseball:

Notice the fans are sitting in the left field stands at Yankee Stadium (again with a little imagination). The yellow left field foul pole involved very advanced modeling: a soda straw painted yellow with acrylic paint and glued in place using a dab of Elmers Glue. 

Those are the correct dimensions of Yankee stadium down the left field line (301 feet) and straight away left field (402 feet) when Don Larsen pitched a perfect game in the World Series in 1956. I was 5 years old then and if you look carefully you can see me sitting in the stands.😀

Arnold,

Sorry for the flash.  Larsen's autograph of his first pitch to Gilliam.   Hanging in the pool room.  Mickey and McDougald are blocked by Yogi and Pinelli. 

I'd love to do a Yankee Stadium on the table layout.  No more room, no chance....

Here's a few scenes on my layout.  AZgary

Now this guy is so cool:

Here he is waiting patiently for his best friend, the Automatic Gateman, to pop out:

He is a Lilliputian and his best friend is named "Gulliver". 

Little people love this diner which is a very busy place:

Here's a close up of the sailor hanging out at the Coke machine:

This guy is gonna grab a quick cup of coffee and then hop on the trolley before it leaves:

Now this guy waving to us looks to me like he could be a politician. Don't believe a word he says:

I love the people, all shapes and sizes!

After seeing the Fisher-Price, Lego and other non-traditional toy people populating these great layouts, I just had to re-post a picture of the few people currently populating my temporary loop of O gauge track from a couple of Harry Potter topics on this forum.  I call this vignette: Trouble on Platform 9 3/4.

Cheers!

What do you mean, I ain't little, I'm a giant!

Now this guy in the tree house is definitely little:

Little people:

Big bird:

Now, what if I could get 100 of those birds, what could I create?

Think about it, it would be awesome. It would be:

A scene from Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds!

Scary!

More little go-inz on...

What absolutely beautiful scenery, little people and pictures.  I absolutely love them. If and when I grow up as a model railroader, I want to be like you, Frank!

Frank M,

   Can you please advise me as to just where you purchased your western riders, I would love to have them for my layout also.  The are simply fantastic, I have seen them no where else but in your pictures.
