DAS clay figures

I'm always looking for affordable figures to go with my long-suffering G-scale train projects, so you can imagine my happiness when son Richard found, about two decades ago, a few simple molds from DAS clay sets.

No matter if they represent skiers and football players, with a simple paint job they'll do as passengers etc.

One of the first molds, later I found a few more in a store with obvious low turnover and corresponding old stock:

And here are some results, as shown at a local model fair in 2005. As you can see, the figures are more or less posable as long as the the clay is still wet. The figures may be carved as desired when they are dry.

Not the best of models, but they will do as a crowd, or as passengers inside a carriage. And let's not forget the two main selling points: cheap and fun to make.
