Default Looking for 4" scale realistic looking workmen figures

Looking for 4" scale realistic looking workmen figures

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi There,
Could anyone tell me where I can get some realistic looking workmen figures to go with my dads 4" scale outfit? A Clayton traction engine, ransomes thresher, living van and trailer.

We don’t want it to look too gimmicky but a lot of people at shows don’t seem to realise the outfit is a scaled down version of the real thing. Although, since we added the living van with smoking chimney more people seem to get it.

I tried the internet but can't find anything suitable. I reckon the models should be maybe 20" or 500mm

I was thinking one standing behind, another on top of the thresher and maybe one in the living van

Any ideas

Thanks
Donal

Surely you want 24" figures for a 4" engine based on a 6ft tall workman?

In steam days, 100 years ago, very few people were anything like 6' tall. More like 5' 6".
