Interesting to see how some Europeans perceive Americans.

Well, if there is anyone with the skill set to paint flannel detail on N Scale sized, ummm, <insert euphamism here>... it would be @peteski !!  :ashat:

Well yeah, I guess it is doable. But looking at @robert3985 fisherman figure, he is also more than capable of that feat.  :)

Anybody with a modern farm on their layout probably would like a set of Latino field hands...

Well this is my most favorite thread of this year because it has DKS back in it . If they are producing a more Americana folk the need a higher percentage of bald and or fat .

I pick this thread as best because of the argument if N scale figures can be used on an Nn30 layout .... :facepalm:

Actually, that's "Nn3"...which means N-scale, Narrow-gauge, 3 feet (36")  :trollface:

Just pickin' gnits   :D

Cheerio!

Nn30 could just as easily mean 30" gauge... Just sayin'...

In N scale, how would one distinguish an American "Latino field hand" from an American "Anglo field hand"?  Or is the next great advance sound in the figures?

Is there such a prototype?
