About product

A British paratrooper in the role of driver, 1:35 scale

A figure from the Black Dog figure line, which the name defines unambiguously as a driver. That sets it apart from the standing figures of the same line: a seated pose does not suit a display case on its own, but it can bring a vehicle to life whose cab would otherwise stay empty. And on open off-road vehicles an empty cab is the first thing the viewer notices.

The dry fit first, the painting afterwards

Crew figures do not seat themselves in particular cabs. Try the placing dry before any surface treatment and check three things: whether the knees fit under the dashboard, whether the palms reach the rim of the steering wheel and whether the head does not clash with the frame. Any adjustments are made at this moment only; on a finished coat of paint they are expensive. Mark the seat and the floor of the cab in pencil at the same time, so that you know exactly where the figure belongs.

What is visible in the finished scene

With a seated crewman the attention concentrates on the upper half of the body, the hands and the head; the knees and the footwear are usually hidden by the side of the vehicle. Give the detailed work to the head, the collar and the hands, then. One small thing that often gets forgotten also pays off: the figure should be as soiled as the vehicle, or it looks as though it had only just been put in.

Who the figure suits

  • builders of open off-road vehicles in 1:35
  • modelers who are missing a crew for a finished vehicle
  • anyone interested in British airborne subjects
  • everyone who wants a scene with a vehicle on the move rather than standing still

FAQ

Not universally. Crew figures usually have to be adjusted to particular cabs, so try the seating dry before painting.

The head, the collar and the hands. The knees and the footwear of a seated figure are usually hidden by the side of the vehicle, so detailed work there is wasted.

Yes. A clean figure in a soiled vehicle looks as though it had only just been put in, and the scene loses its credibility.
