Mike, "Artista"  has the best driving figures'... I but directly from him. No seconds and quality paint jobs...'  Can't go wrong'...

Hi Ted, I know this sounds lazy, but you wouldn't happen to have a link would you?

I don't, but just type in, Artista, in google it will come right up...

Thanks Ted, I found them!

Hey can someone tell me where to find figures that will fit in most cars as drivers and passengers?

Mike, as Ted mentioned, Artista has great sitting figures, as well as many other figures suited to create all types of scenes and situations.  I just bought a few from Artista, including the ambulance crew carrying a guy on a stretcher On the cheaper side of things, I picked up a package of sitting figures on an auction site...the quality wasn't great so I ended up surgically removing the legs and used them as sitting figures in cars...but Artista are definitely the best sitting figures I've come across...

From a different angle...

Paul, looks bad! But man what a great photo!

First British Leland 1/43 added to the layout...the AH 3000.  I doubt it could take the "Mustang or the Merc'....

Nice seen' Paul'...

I noticed a nicely detailed early '50's Mack tractor on a diecast seller's site yesterday...the brand was IXO.  Anyone familiar with the brand?

I have a very nice Checker taxicab from IXO. Disassembled easily to allow placing figures inside.

Joe, that's a nice looking checker cab...sharp detail with the "checkers"  along the roof line and side!  Thanks for posting.  My cab fleet are the Ertl brand...nice frame and color, but not too detailed...

Capetrainman, Your Greyhound station is great.  So photogenic!  :-) I especially like the evening shot with the different bus models but the daytime one with the cabs is great, too.  Thanks for posting.

It could likely take either one on a really twisty course.

Picked these up over the weekend at an LHS. '48 Ford pick-up in a color I hadn't seen before; '57 'Vette with flames; '64 T-Bird convertible and I especially like the black Maine Central car I found in a dusty corner. No markings, but looks to be a late '30's sedan - possibly a '39 Plymouth.

Richie, that's a nice selection of vehicles...looks like you scored at the LHS!  What brand is the '48 pick-up...nice detail and color.  Nice to see a red "cove" on the silver '58 Vette

Richie nice find. Thanks for sharing

Thanks, guys and glad to see you're on the mend, Lee.

The '48 pickup is a Ford F-1.

The 'Vette is a 1957 model year according to the box and has the contrasting color coves which started in 1956 and lasted until 1961. The '62's had same color coves as the body and from '63 on there were none.

Here's another picture of the Maine Central that shows the front grill, which is reminiscent of a '39 Plymouth.

Looks like a 41 Ford to me.

Yup, me too, ‘41 Ford.

I'll make it unanimous. It looks like a '41 Ford.
