You spotted the repeats.
There are only six different figures but every single one is painted differently and will be spread across ten or more coaches so I should get away with it.
The best part? Only cost me £11 and about five hours of painting time.

They do look very good - you really have done a great job with the painting. Some will be fine sitting on station platform benches - they can keep their legs :roll: . You commented on mine being "legless", as you know there is very little leg-room in most coaches. They will certainly enhance any coaching stock you place them in.

I did try one on a station bench when I first printed them - his feet didn’t touch the ground! That’s what made me think I had printed them slightly underscale when I spoke to you the other day Barry. That will be fine for the coaches, even if they have to lose their feet. I may have to fiddle with the scale and reprint a few for the station seats - that’s my job for tomorrow.

I have a few more upscale versions in the printer, meanwhile the glue is drying on these.

Blimey Steve if you keep going at this rate you won’t have room for a railway.
