Title: Help sourcing a figure in coveralls
Post by: FramFramson on December 15, 2013, 03:34:51 AM

Hi guys,

I've looked through most of the usual suspects without success (Bolt Action, Artizan, West Wind, TAG, Crusader, Black Tree, Victory Force... can't look at Renegade as they're closed at the moment), so I'm asking here is anyone has any suggestions for a figure in generic coveralls. I need this for an early-war Soviet aircraft mechanic, the intended result ought to look like this (minus the gas can):

I can sculpt the pilotka cap, tools, etc. so he doesn't even need to be Russian. I don't need the gas can. Ultimately, any figure in some generic dumpy, bulky coveralls (very preferably with a collar showing beneath, as in this picture). I've also looked at some "60's henchmen" type figures, such as those made by Crooked Dice, but I haven't found anything there either.

Maybe there's even something in a modern line somewhere?

Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks!
