A few more Plasticville folks, these for the Christmas display:

Rush job; straight up block-paint/dip/highlight/clear matte process; very little in the way of removing flash/mold-marks/sprue trim...glopped some "Glitter Snow" on the bases and they're ready to go. Likely to be handled extensively by the kids.

Not sure where the cast mailbox came from, but not Plasticville...might have been Bowser.

The cat looks awful.

There is a guy in OZ. that sells figures on Facebook. His work is amazing.

Flip me a link. I’m not a Facebooker, but maybe I can see a few examples.

I’d be interested too! The link doesn’t get me there but I’m not on FB so maybe that’s why. Shows this:

Impressive; what scale are they?

Thank you for posting a few pictures, Robert. I estimate the one with a human finger in the photo that the figure is 1:48 scale.

A 50 cent Austrailian coin is 31.65 mm across the flats.
Using photogrammetry it is easy to measure the figure.
He is 5 feet tall in 1:48 scale.

So slightly undersized then? That dude looks like he should be a bit taller than 60 scale inches. No matter, though, as there’s a lot of variability in O-gauge figures. I like the look of these. That one guy’s flannel shirt is impressive.
