It was either this year or last year in the magazine that someone made figures for our layout that looked like a film crew. Does anyone remember that issue or can tell me the manufacturer that made those?
Thanks!

Are you thinking of the Woodland Scenics A2741 Surveyors (O-scale)?

Kurt,
No that's not it. It has a cameraman and another holding the tripod. For some reason I thought it was in tips tools and techniques section. Don't know why, but I'm still looking! I went to the Arttista site but they don't have a search mode. Nothing came up in Woodland Scenics. Any other company you can think of?

Thanks to one and all! I need to find a reporter, then I could create a news scene. Maybe a car wreck at a crossing! Then the lionel helicopter (with the call letters on the side) for the aerials. Then find a white van and paint it like a news truck. Of course plenty of emergency vehicles (cops, firefighters, emts). I have to give credit to a friend of mine who is also big into our hobby for the idea. We worked together for ten years at an ABC affiliate producing the news and thus the somewhat sick idea. Oh yes bodies... hmmmmm maybe not that far!
A Tv crew could do a documentary on all the suffering going on in plasticville. It could be a 3 part series...........................

Rob, I believe one of the manufacturers has a US Post Office van that would be good for a news van. It is already white and the stickers should peel off easily. Also, if you are doing a news type shot, the reporter will most times have a little note pad in the hand that is not holding the mike. If you make it a larger type story, you may want to make some kind of satellite on top of the van.
