I have also tried Fimo, but really didn´t got the right feeling working with it. It ended up with one figure that is really ugly on this close up, but he does the job from a three foot distance. I´m not going to try again, but does any one knows a better, more willing material to model figures in?

I have found an other mr.Schleich, really an sheepherd, but I cut down his big hat and removed his long stick. I like the size and the look of the Schleich figures,

Here is by the way the driver in my Lady Anne, that I mentioned earlier. He comes from ebay.

I think your Fimo man is rather good especially his face, just needs a little more time spent on them I think! I have made quite a few people only to populate coaches or to put in the signal box etc but I did make 2 people that were used. I make them from Sculpy, very similar to Fimo but I found it to be finer texture and easier to manage. I use a foil armature to build up the 'skeleton' and to pose them then gradually add layers of the Sculpy, firing in stages. That way you can see how its working out and don't have to hold everything together. I made this gentleman who lasted 3 years before a leg fell off! I lost it unfortunately so he has been retired!
I have quite a few people and have a large collection of poseable figures so I can use them as I want. they are also from ebay usually from the 'Space Patrol' range.
These are my Morris dancers who come out every summer and are very popular round the railway!
