What pose is the driver in, and how can I use him?
The figure is 3D scanned from a real person to capture realistic looks and poses. He is suitable as a driver either mounted in a locomotive or standing around in the yard as part of a scene.
What material is the figure made from?
The figure is printed in the UK using high-detail resin. This allows for fine detail and realistic features, but also means the model is more delicate than plastic figures.

What should I do if the figure arrives broken in the post?
If the figure is damaged during delivery, please take clear photos of the damage and contact the seller. They will review the images and see what can be done to put things right.
Are you responsible if I break the figure after it arrives?
Resin can be quite delicate, and the seller cannot be held responsible for any breakages once the item has arrived safely. Take care when handling, assembling and storing the figure to avoid damage.
Is this figure suitable for children?
No, these items are not toys and are not suitable for minors. The figure contains small parts that can pose a choking hazard and should be kept out of reach of children.
Who produces and licenses this figure?
The figure is sold under commercial license from Design Scan Print 3D and is printed in the UK by the seller using high-detail resin and hand-cleaned, hand-cured processes.
How detailed are the features and pose?
The figure is created from a 3D scan of a real person, which captures realistic proportions, facial features and body posture. The high-detail resin printing preserves this detail for a lifelike appearance once painted.
Why does the figure sometimes need minor finishing?
Each figure is cleaned and cured by hand. While they are prepared carefully, a small amount of minor finishing, such as light sanding or smoothing, may be needed before priming and painting to achieve your preferred finish.
What is the best way to handle the resin figure to avoid damage?
Handle the figure gently, holding it by the more solid parts of the body rather than thin details. Avoid dropping it and do not force any parts if you are test-fitting or positioning it in a cab or on a layout.
What should I do if there are small surface imperfections?
Minor surface marks can usually be smoothed with fine sanding sticks or fine-grit sandpaper. Work slowly and gently, checking frequently so you do not remove detail. Once smoothed, clean off any dust before priming.
Can I repair a small break on the figure?
Small breaks in resin can often be repaired with a suitable model resin or cyanoacrylate (super glue) adhesive. Hold the parts in place until the bond forms, then lightly sand any excess glue once fully cured before painting.
What primer should I use on this resin figure?
The figure can be primed with Halfords grey primer or Tamiya fine surface primer, as recommended by the maker. These primers give a good base for most hobby paints and help reveal any areas that may need further smoothing.
Do I need to wash the figure before priming?
The figures are cleaned by hand, but many modellers like to give resin parts a gentle wash in lukewarm water with a drop of mild detergent, then allow them to dry completely before priming. This can help ensure the best paint adhesion.
What type of paint works best after priming?
Once primed with a suitable primer like Halfords grey or Tamiya fine surface primer, you can use most standard model paints, such as acrylics or enamels designed for miniatures and scale models. Apply several thin coats rather than one thick coat.
How can I mount the driver in a locomotive cab?
After priming and painting, you can position the driver in the cab and secure him with a small amount of suitable model glue. Test-fit first to check clearances and ensure he stands or sits naturally in the space you have available.
Any tips for painting realistic clothing and details?
Build up colours in thin layers, starting with a mid-tone base coat, then adding lighter highlights and darker shadows. A fine brush is useful for picking out details like buttons, facial features and boots. Allow each layer to dry fully before adding the next for the cleanest result.
