About product

The sitting form of the coachbuilder in 1:24 scale

Unlike the standing likeness, this figure captures the character seated, which is a fact given directly in the name. It is exactly the sitting character that tends to be more valuable in a scene than expected: it can be placed on a curb, on a tire, on a tool box and into the interior of a car, and it gives a scene a quiet moment instead of a static stance.

The context and the real subject

The real subject is the coachbuilder connected with the RAUH-Welt Begriff workshop, which became famous for the widened bodies of Porsche 911 cars. In the modeling world his character has become a symbol of the Japanese approach to modifying cars, where it is not only about the engineering but also about the hand of a particular person. The sitting version suits above all scenes where nobody is working on the car just then - a break, an inspection of a finished body or a conversation with the owner.

Recommended procedure

With a sitting character it pays to try in advance where you want to seat it, because the angle at the knees and the hips is fixed and there is not much room for improvisation. Prepare the surface before you finish the figure off. When painting, work with a muted palette of work clothing and with more pronounced lighting of the upper surfaces, so that the character is not lost in the shadow of the car. A matte finish suits better than a glossy one.

The ideal accessory for

  • garage scenes with a part-built car
  • scenes where the character is to sit at the edge of a diorama
  • collectors of modified Porsches in 1:24 scale
  • modelers who already have the standing form

FAQ

This version captures the character seated; the standing likeness is sold on its own under the name without this addition.

At the edge of a diorama, on a tire, on a tool box or in an open car, where the natural seated pose stands out.

We recommend it, because the angle of the limbs is firmly fixed and looking for a suitable place only once the painting is finished tends to be a drawn-out business.

Yes, a sitting character in work clothing comes into play in any garage scene in 1:24 scale.
