O Scale PeopleI started buying O-Scale figurines as accessories to my scale car collection, but now I find that these little folks have sort of taken on a life of their own.

Some one asked for more....?  Holiday Village 2010 by IFHP97, on Flickr  Holiday Village 2010 by IFHP97, on Flickr Here are a couple of old favorites. Very moody and somewhat ironic as the setting is a Holiday Village diorama.

 Potted Flowers by Busch by IFHP97, on Flickr As an experiment I ordered these HO scale potted flowers by Busch and was happy to discover that they work well in an O Scale/1:43 setting.  Potted Flowers by Busch by IFHP97, on Flickr  Henry Ford Figurine by BM Toys by IFHP97, on Flickr This figurine was made (by hand it says) in Russia. This would be Henry Ford in his fifties during the 1910s. Pretty good, though I think the real Henry Ford's face is narrower with a more pointed nose.  Ford Nyt Nr 1 1963 by IFHP97, on Flickr What Henry Ford looked like in his 60s or early 70s.  Henry Ford Figurine by BM Toys by IFHP97, on Flickr  Holiday Village 2013 by IFHP97, on Flickr In 2013 the Holiday Village Jugband played an impromptu concert on the roof of a local book store. Eventually the police had to shut them down due to a noise complaint.

These are made from pewter.  Recent Arrivals by Michael, on Flickr They look much better out of their packaging.

Picnicers by Arttista by Michael, on Flickr Picnicers. I first photographed them with the 1994 Capri, but what with the transistor radio and all, these look more like 1960's folks, so I swapped of the Capri for the 1962 Mustang I.

Some are definitely better than others. There are a couple that look like the zombies have taken over Fordville, but generally I'm a fan of adding figures to my displays.

Some very nice figures Michael and some excellent vignettes! I especially like the old guy in the flat cap napping. I can relate. 😄

I have a few models from Omen and they are to a high standard. www.omen-miniatures.com/shopIt takes a while to go through the whole range but worth it. |
