Scientist / Doctor Figure?

Preiser has a group of gas station attendants dressed in white that should work.

I used two of them in my hot dog stand The hats were added and the pants were painted. The clothing comes all white.

For figures in lab coats you might be able to find figures in overcoats and paint them white.

Pete,

What a great little scene!  I was looking for ideas to fill in small spaces around my layout and this stand is really nice.  Good job on the details.

Thanks Steve. Normally it looks like this:

Dusty... Thanks a lot!  That looks like it will work.  I'll need to buy several of these and scatter them around.  Norton and Dusty, this is really helpful because I now have new search terms [long coat and overcoat].  I hadn't thought of that.  The biggest hurdle I've been having in finding figures that have a coat similar to a lab coat, and not be a winter dressed figure.

I will still need a lot more of these figures in different poses.  I may very well have to modify a bunch of figures to approximate the lab coat.

Todd, also consider that long coat might be suitable in a laboratory but shorter coats would be common in a patient setting, at least back in the day when everyone wore white.

I think just about anyone dressed in a suit and no hat could be painted white to fit that image.

I suggest you go to bakersrailroadshop.com  You will find several figures to consider(like the couple of guys seen here) and the resource may open up a whole new set of possibilities  for you, Todd. Roy is my main source for something different.
