Still, there are some possibilities there.<br /><br />I do have a number of "native bearer" models, but these aren't really suitable. I doubt that many porters/baggage handlers in a 1930s airport would have been wearing only loincloths :-) !<br /><br />Today I ordered some Copplestone "Female Archaeologists"; these will work very nicely for my airport scenario, I think.Colgar6https://www.blogger.com/profile/07636662295301222390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-2236843835162392812017-01-25T18:57:59.627+00:002017-01-25T18:57:59.627+00:00Great looking characters.
