Mechanic Set 2 – 8 Figures

This eight-piece figure set brings workshop, garage and racing scenes around model vehicles to life. Different working poses allow varied depictions of maintenance, inspection and repair. The figures are supplied unpainted in resin and with support structures. They are model-making accessories and not toys.

Included figures

• Mechanic with Angle Grinder: Walking figure in workwear carrying an open toolbox with several tools.
• Mechanic Jack: Standing mechanic with cap, holding an open laptop in the hands.
• Mechanic on Creeper: Forward-bent mechanic with cap and a small hand tool.

• Mechanic with Tool: Forward-bent mechanic with cap and hands pointed forward for a working pose at the vehicle.
• Female Mechanic 1: Kneeling female mechanic with cap and hearing protection, with arms extended forward.

Practical uses

• For a model car garage diorama, the figures with toolbox, laptop, hand tool and car wheel are especially suitable. They can be arranged around the vehicle, at a workbench or beside a vehicle lift.
• In a racing scene, the bent and kneeling working poses can be used as workshop or pit crew. The figure at the wheel adds a visible work area directly at the racing vehicle.
• For a workshop on a model railway, depending on the layout, 1:22,5 is suitable for Gauge II, 1:32 for Gauge I or 1:48 for US O scale.
• In plastic model vehicle dioramas, the 1:35 and 1:48 sizes suit correspondingly scaled vehicle models and workshop backdrops.
• For collector display cases and diecast dioramas, 1:18, 1:24, 1:43 and 1:64 are especially suitable if vehicles and accessories are selected in the same scale.

Scale selection

• 1:18: For large model cars, detailed garages, racing scenes and collector display cases.
