Station Master or Sea Captain?
I have an original Britains station master minus arm so decided to make a resin copy. I didn't know the position of his original left arm so just placed a random spare. he could be reaching for a steering wheel.
Later I saw a complete original and he has a clipboard or papers held next to his body. I might aim for that in the next casting.
Anyhow, unlike the original color (not present on my paint denuded original) which was black I painted this one's clothes dark blue.
The next one I do will be painted like the original, in black and can, indeed be a station master.
He looks like a naval officer. His uniform can resemble police uniforms used in Norway 19th/early 20th century too.
ReplyDeleteMark Man of TIN says “What a very versatile figure - Naval captain, airship captain, staff officer, station master, postal services …”
ReplyDeleteMaybe zookeepers wore that style cap too before switching to the ones with more rounded, overlapping crowns.
DeleteI think there were British military officers who also wore this style, such as in the Zulu War?
