Love it! Those tin pans are some great figures.

Nicely done Robin. Perhaps a personal maintenance hack is in order . . . Your tin pan figure could turn his underwear inside out and wear it until thoroughly fermented. That way he would cut his laundry chores in half.

Funny Steve. Skippy has been running every morning on tv for the last 8 months and has now just changed to Thunderbirds. I was watching both these shows 60 years ago so while corny, they are nostalgic.

Coming back on a retro tv channel in UK, tptv, is a series set in the Australian Gold rush called Whiplash from early sixties, starring Peter Graves, probably better known for his Mission impossible and Airplane roles.

Hi Steve,
Wondering if these Tin Panners are considerably smaller than K&C figs?

Robin is your man to ask with this one Rob

Rob they imo are the same size. There are 4 K&C figures and 3 JJD in this scene, all fit nicely together, even the kangaroos.. Robin.

Sorry 'bout that fellas. Not sure why I typed "Steve" on that. Perhaps the post before?
Thanks for the info, Robin. Appreciate it my friend.
I've enjoyed seeing your Gold Fever scenes.

I’m still here for you.. Robin.

most clever; can't help but feel sorry for him

Robin,
Wonderful figures, in well done dioramas.

A spot of ground has been prepared for the arrival of a new business, which is expected to thrive in the ever expanding Gold Fields. Robin.

Yes Robin, I can imagine the scene in your diorama, adding extra interest, should look amazing

Like you Robin, I'm making room for a Gold Rush camp scene. The photo showing the prototype large tent, assayer and table, safe, guard, etc. was the final straw that dragged me kicking and screaming into collecting this range.

A lot of people fall victim to Gold Fever Mike. Something about the raw basic aspect of this period that attracts me to this series, much like the Wild West and fur trade. John continues to make brilliant pieces for this, enabling me to have something to look forward to. Robin.

Agree with you, Robin. I did not pursue but I've been admiring each of your scenes and the Gold Rush sub-theme as a whole. Great stuff!
