Hi! me again. Subject this time is 1/16th(120mm) figures.All of the figures that I have planned for the Jenny diorama have been painted and except for one,the 20s barnstromer pilot ,are dressed in military uniform.(all these figures are Model Cellar and are excellent)But I thought that I would like to add one more civilian(actually my wifes idea)to the mix.Sort of an airport manager type.Being Armistic Day, I assume a workers holiday(if not I am making it one)the civilian will be dressed in a suit and tie of the period welcoming the WW1 vets to the field.I decided to use the Legends & Lore figure of John Dillinger available at Greatmodels.com .With a few mods( like removing the machine gun etc)he should make a fine airport manager.They also have a nice figure of BIG AL.(Capone) and even Bonnie and Clyde.For those who would like to have a go at making their own figures ,they also have 2 series of 5 heads only or they could be used to mix and match on already existing bodies.Sounds a little gruesome doesnt it ?

Cheers! John.
