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, that's a real good reproduction of an antelope jackrabbit. From my days in California, I remember them as being all over the place. I'm sure you father-in-law is happy to see a slimmed down replica of himself. :)
 
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.
