I wrote this post almost two years ago. How I forgot to post
it is any ones guess. These HO scale figures are from the folks at "Scale Figures". I purchased a few of these figures with a “scene in mind” and will paint
these figures one of these days. In the past I have made two other mentions of Scale Figures.
PECOS SLIM (rolling a ciggie): Pecos Slim doesn’t look like
a hippy, so we can assume that he is rolling a tobacco cigarette. I don’t smoke
myself, but do know those who do.
OLD MAN (looking at watch): He could be waiting on someone
or like the conductor, waiting for the local Number 6.
CIGAR STORE INDIAN: A good place for him would be on a porch
of some general store or a tobacco shop. As a child, I remember these statures seeming
being bigger than life, perhaps I should stand a child figure next to this
cigar store Indian. (I do have another figure, who just so happens to be
smoking a cigar)
TONY (sleeping it off): Tony, Tony, Tony. Stick him up
against some tree opposite the village saloon.
OLD JON (with cane): Who says Jon has to be old, he could be
veteran. Stick him in a crowd, on a street, or on a trail.
CONDUCTOR (looking at watch): Where is that Number 6? “Doesn’t
that damn engineer know I have a schedule to keep?”
OLDTIMER (leaning): Not everyone is young in years, but we
can stay young at heart. Let’s hope the old-timers heart is alright.
THE RIFLEMAN (shooting rifle): Out hunting for his dinner.
He spots a large buck. He takes aim…
PHOTOGRAPHER (with old-time box camera): Oh how the
countryside has changed, better get a picture while it is still pristine.
THE DRIVER (wearing long coat): I have had an idea for this
scene as soon as I saw the figure. I will pair the driver up with a 1904 OldsmobileCurved Dash Run-About (Jordon Highway Miniatures).
CARLOS (panning for gold): Even after the mine closed (long
ago abandon) people are still finding nuggets in that creak.
MILLER (lumberjack with axe): Well if you have a forest, and
you want to keep yourself cozy on those long winter nights, you better be
taking in a stock of fire wood.
ARLIS (with satchel & bag): He is apparently waiting to
go somewhere. Stick him at the station along with the impatient old man and
conductor. I seem to have a double of this figure. The double is from another
manufacture. I wonder how that happened?
ARLO (carrying bucket): Water from the well or creak needs
to be brought into the inn so the guests can wash-up and brush their teeth. It
might not be the most glamorous job, but it is a living.
