KEVIN'S SCRATCH-MADE MRS. COBBIT FROM TRUMPTON

Hi,

Another one! Mrs. Cobbit, the Trumpton flower seller. There every morning at the Town Hall Square, on the dot of 9. Oh, except when the ceiling fell on her!

Off to get a button hole for the Mayor,

    Another great model, in a long series. Keep going. How many is that now ?

  2. Thank you. 15 in this scale (which is about the same as the originals) and 7 in a smaller scale that I made before I started sourcing the toys that formed the basis of their vehicles.

  6. Thanks. Not sure I've got the patience for stop motion work. 24 shots for 1 second of film!

  7. Actually, I don't think they did for these shows. Lots of the others they did both.

  8. So you could have concentrated on making the props Kev!

  11. Not heard of Mrs Cobbit before.
    Was she also the baker's wife ?

  12. Don't go starting that rumour! No, that was Mrs. Murphy. Mrs. Cobbit's husband is never seen or mentioned. She's in every Trumpton and a fair few Chigley episodes too.
