Scratch-built jackrabbit; engineer

I just finished a couple new figures. One is an engineer for my Bachmann 4-6-0, based on my father-in-law. I had to take a few liberties with the anatomy in order to make him fit the notoriously cramped cab of the 4-6-0. I still need to make him some glasses…

The next item is a jackrabbit! I plan to make a few more of these little guys to populate my desert layout… .

Ray, excellent jackrabbit, any chance I can get a jackrabbit from you for my tiny desert island…eer I mean layout :wink:

Ray—

Where’s Wiley E. Coyote? Ajax Dynamite? Acme Pothole?

:lol:

Great stuff!

Very nice, Ray.
Everyone keeps telling you to make molds and start casting your figures.
I believe you would have plenty of customers.

Nice work, Ray. I enjoyed your figure article in GR. Who’s next? :wink:

Yah Ray, we need you to MOLD/CAST/SELL!

Here’s a shot of the engineer in the cab of the loco: .

It was tough getting him in through the window. He’s less flexible now than when I was making him. I’ll probably forget about giving him glasses, as they would be too delicate and likely would be damaged. I’d like to make molds and sell castings, but I’ll have to see if my molding skills are up to it.

I agree with the encouragement to sell castings. That’s one of the best looking engineer figure’s I’ve seen. I enjoyed your GR Article too - nice work.

Thanks.
