Back in December 2014 I had a thread..."Finding Figures"...that mentioned my continuing frustration for finding a couple specific figures in O scale, one of which was a person looking through binoculars. That would be the finishing touch for a forest lookout tower I had bashed from a derelict Lionel searchlight tower, but would also complement Korber's new lookout tower kit, too. Besides, there are lots of good looking O scale babes-on-the-beach figures, et al, for which a lecherous guy peering through binocs would be appropriate in a mini-scene, perhaps.
For about the last 2-3 years I had always bugged Dennis at the Arttista booth in York meets (Orange Hall) about this need. 'So, anyone looking through binoculars in your product line??', I'd opine.
Welllllllll........(drum roll, please!)......this year, last week at York, Dennis came through!!!!! #1583....one of several new figures from Arttista!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Dennis!!!!!!
My dear wife spotted the figure in Arttista's display first and could barely contain herself as she grabbed my shoulder around an unsuspecting customer standing next to me. HOLY MOLY!!! Someone finally heard/responded to my search!!! Wow!
Pretty cool, huh?
