First thing that had to go was the face. The front plate is rather soft plastic and using a sharp knife I cut away a fair portion of the details. Then using a course sanding stick the other details went away. Finally, I used a fine sanding stick to smooth out the surface. My long term intention is to make a plate for the boiler opening and glue it on, but not today.
I also needed a crew. Raise you hand if you want to be the crew. Okay, you there, HaT / Airfix World War One American soldier, you are it. A useless pose re-purposed from a wounded guy into a steam engine driver. We can make him better, faster, stronger than he was....
Test fit, needs some trimming.
Test fit after trimming, works perfectly. Cut off the rifle, then cut the base down and bent him at the ankles so he stood up almost straight.
Eagle Games generic colonial guy in 1/72nd scale he makes a great size comparison.
