From TeemuL: Three Passengers (12 points)

I am one of the volunteers of a local Scout Movement group and it would be boring, if there would be no fun for adults. So yesterday we had one of the fun evenings only for adults and we practiced painting miniatures... The organizer had bought some scale railway miniatures, which were available in Finland. She ordered some actual scout minis from UK, too, but the difficulties of Royal Mail are still unsolved. These are from the Preiser set "Passengers, passers-by,travellers", which in in 1/43 scale, very close to the O scale of railway models. These were white plastic and mostly one piece, the suitcase of the gentleman required gluing. They were not primed, just straigthly painted over the plastic (this might horrify some of you), but were nice to paint. I used my own Citadel paints and even some washes on the skin and other areas while others used some acrylic paints from tubes. These three were painted in one and half hours while trying to give some hints to the others, so they are by no means neat. There's an event next week, where these (and others) are hidden here and there and one activity is to locate them. I don't know much of that, yet.



The gentleman and elderly lady have a blue scout neckerchief painted on them, but the lady on the right doesn't. It just didn't look good on orange dress and green hair. The green hair is intentional to give a message that scout movement is for everyone and it is not any old and conservative organization.


The models are roughly 28mm in scale, but they lack the bases, so I suggest 3*5 points for the models and -3 bonus points for not having bases, making it 12 in total.

Minion Miles: What Model Rail Roading creeping into the challenge - BLASPHEMY!!!!!  Well maybe not, I'm thinking of something Scale next year
