Hi All,

Just a little thing I noticed, intrigued me and I bought off ebay at the weekend - Sir Nigel Gresley in 7mm!

The guy who makes them is Andy Stadden (www.stadden.homecall.co.uk) and he does an absolutely superb job too - even without a magnifier it is definitely SNG - and under close up - brilliant. All his figures are really good - and there's some guy called Winston someone or other too.

That guy will go in the crowds on the main platform - "Hey! Was that Gresley I saw there??"

Worth a look - I'l try to get a piccie on here in the next few days.

You could re-create the famous photo of him with the A4 of the same name...

I doubt anyone around here would recognise him - 2mm or 7mm!

I'm still looking for a dalek in 2mm :-)

Richard,

Not the famous photo at the moment as I haven't built the A4 yet, but here he is against the unpainted Scotsman - still in the workshops undergoing the modifications (SNG is stood on the plans for GA!!) plus a close up - the detail is really great and the hands are the right size - this is often the let down with the miniature figures.

Regards,

Geoff
