I put together a hearse for an upcoming scenario
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y16/adwyn/hearseweb2.jpg)
but am stumped as to ideas for a passenger. Any one have any ideas, preferably for a fig that will pass as prepped for a funeral? My backup will be a coffin I guess, but I am hoping for something with more flair.

what abaut the vampire in a coffin from the GW Vampire wagon ?
-
WOW! Excellent hearse! How did you build it? Entirely scratch? Hybrid?
As for passengers, check for casualty figures- or along the same lines as what Grimm said, look for a victorian vampire model laying in his coffin- he'll probably be dressed in a nice 19th century suit (and he comes with his own coffin :mrgreen: ) Sorry, I don't have any idea where to even begin looking for these minis. I'm sure someone will come along here with some good sources though :)

Firstly ! That hearse is brilliant...is it a scratch build / kit or ??
Secondly ! Grimm that vamp is quite long ? good 28mm and may not
go unless its a hanging victim.( stretched)
Dixons do a coffin with occupant which is a nice size with artizan and
obviously dixon minis, you could use the coffin elsewhere. But its
not dressed very fancy!

Given some width issues I think I'll try Dixon's lounging Cowboy, that means a call to Scale Creep in the morning I suppose. Thanks.
Construction wise it was pretty quick and simple - did it while watching TV last night. I cheated and used a Reader's Digest "Horse Drawn Pumper" wagon that I removed the pump from
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y16/adwyn/firewagonweb.jpg)
and then constructed the back box by using some curved bass wood (meant to be a 1/12th scale chair rail I believe) to make three picture frame shapes that were glued to a gridded 3x5 note card with white glue.
Once that was done for the two sides and the back I cut the pieces out of the card and cut out the windows. The bottom and front were cut from a 1" basswood strip. The top was cut from a wood ruler to give it some shape. I then sprayed everything black, and the windows were cut from a handy blister pack. The trim took just a moment with some dulled gold paint.
