Does anyone know of any 1/35 figures of generic mechanics in overalls?
There are a lot of figures out there described as mechanics who are depicted wearing tunics, uniforms etc. What I'm after are just general motor mechanics or maintenance guys...

Try Accurate Armour...they make a couple of modern mechanic figures....they are fairly generic looking and good detail.

Iain the Tamiya tank loading crew are wearing overalls. Dragon make an SS tankcrew (DRA6214) who are wearing overalls and Hornet make some figures in overalls too. Are you looking for specific poses?

Jason...thanks for that, they look like they might fit the bill.

Pat...I'm not after specific poses, more civilian looking overalls like you might see in a garage or shipyard...I'll check out the Tamiya and Dragon figs as I might be able to remodel them with Hornet heads etc...

Here's a few from the mk35 resin range that might be of some use, especially in a shipyard:

mk35 Civilian mechanic

mk35 Civilian having backache

mk35 Blacksmith

mk35 Civilian who saws up wood

Verlindin has a set of two, one kneeling, one standing. Esci has a set of partasians with one in coveralls also and I belive that preiser has a few in some of their set too.
