Angst Lesspork

[Hugh Norwood]

I was pleased to see another source of "period" figures opened up recently. Modelu, who you must have heard of by now, have released a set of 27 figures in a range called "Ragged Victorians" (after a group of re-enactors, I believe, who I guess must have been scanned for the project).

I ordered ten figures (noting that two "figures" are actually each two people - so I got more people for my money!)

They come in a grey plastic which is ready to paint, according to modelu, so I trimmed the "sprue" off them and added my usual brass wire up one leg.

And these characters may well appear on the layout - just passing by on the way to the Restaurant at the end of the Universe

These look great, I am sure there is a gag there somewhere involving "The Book" and the Librarian :-)

I bought a Society Cattle wagon kit at Narrow Gauge North this year.
I had one already, but thought that just a single one looked out of place.
During the build, I stuck tissue paper on the roof of both wagons to simulate canvas
They are both now painted and ready to go into traffic

And the "Ragged Victorians" have been all planted.
Here's a selection:

A question...
Can everyone see those last three photos? Or perhaps I should can anyone _not_ see them?
I know of one person who can't, and I was wondering how wide-spread the issue was.

I cannot speak for everybody, but I can see them.

Sitting here using the iPad all I can see are 3 little squares but no photos, sorry Hugh.

[Peter Boulter]

Sorry Hugh, I see no photos.  :(

[Graeme Dunbar]

I see nothing too.

I saw nothing, but clicked on the angst lesspork at the bottom of the post and was taken straight to hugh's blog and the photos. Very nice cattle wagons. I must get a couple or three.
