Peter Stiles Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 My Lockdown-Layout's central section is being referred to as the "Agatha Christie" section, we all know she was obsessed with train time tables and so saying that my centre section should be appropriate for her eaasly books and so 1920's-30's (and 40's if I really have to) gives me a bit of an artistic direction.I've found an appropriate model for a Miss Marple on a Dapol spru, although I'm going to cut a millimetre off her legs to give her a "little old lady" look :) It should be painless.So what I'm trying to find now is a suitable model to depict a shortish, chubby Belgian detective with grand moustachios, any suggestions?

Peter Stiles Posted May 4, 2020 Author Share Posted May 4, 2020 That's a lot bigger than OO :( But a nice model. Maybe if I washed it a few times it would shrink? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 You could try adapting one of these figures? - https://hardyshobbies.co.uk/shop/civilians/man-in-hat-reading-paper/I have heard very good reports of these figures - there is a tremendous range.

Peter Stiles Posted May 8, 2020 Author Share Posted May 8, 2020 Picked this one. He's a bit more Ustinov than Suchet, mate with a hint of Rene Artois..Thanks /media/tinymce_upload/ac56c882a7d5a132182a72e5b26775fe.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirlouit95 Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Il est bien cet Hercule.J'ai visionné la boutique du lien, ils ont de beaux personnages. J'en ai vu qui pourraient faire un chouette Capitaine Hasting et une charmante Miss Marple. Désolé d'écrire en français, mais je suis dans les transports avec mon téléphone et impossible de jongler avec Google translate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
