The quality of O Scale figures, compared to HO, is enough to make me think seriously about changing scales.

Hi Don,
I agree that the O scale figures give a better potential for detailing than HO, but it's like a lot of other things in our wonderful hobby: you get your roses, and you get your thorns. Some "O scale" figures are correctly proportioned, with finely detailed features, and others are just merely over-scaled 'blobs'.
Unfortunately, price is not always indicative of quality, either.[:-banghead]

Yes Don,I once thought that way too about HO scale figures.
A certain guy named Dallas here at this very forum taught me that it doesn't always have to be the case.
Look at the level of detail in these 2 lovely ladies that he painted,as part of my Chambers Parts Store.
May I introduce to you, Polly & Vera.
Proof positive that HO figures can compete with O scale figures!

Yes, Neil....Dallas' work is indeed inspiring! He is such a perfectionist, that I think he could paint a recognizable face on a Z-scale figure!!
As I stated somewhere else though, "A Dallas M. I ain't..."
Here's a few more from me. The first ones are all O scale. The last is HO:
Coaling up is hot work!
Dave, driving the Ford V8 powered Malcolm Moore industrial loco.
Firing up the Victoria (nee Forney)...
The night shif. This is one of my favourites![:-spin]
Busy at the Slate Mine...
This last one is from my old HO layout.
Windy Main Street.
Later,
John

Greg has a complete collection of all the HO figures I'm ever likely to customize and paint. Personally, I think it's crazy! [:-hypnotized]
But, it was a fun challenge and I have great respect for those who do it once and keep going. 
I started in N scale (never did figures then) ... and you can't beat that for long trains and big vistas ... you get into the larger scales, and you can put expressions on people's faces, etc. All sorts of trade-offs in any such decision, which is another reason to "visit" each other on the forum and see what's done. Great start to another wonderful gallery collection here! |

LOL.
i agree with john about some o scale figures being blobs still.
i dont have many figures on the layout yet. most are sat in little baggies in a small box awaiting placment.
heres a boy eating an apple
the driver of number 8
a line up of workers (buffalo landing, i cant help but scream at how nice these figures are!)
these guys had a rather uncomfortable looking time for a while... |
