Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition.

Actually, the Spanish Inquisition gave 30 days notice, so you could prepare your legal defense, talk to the local priest etc.

Two scientists create a teleportation ray, and they try it out on a cricket. They put the cricket on one of the two teleportation pads in the room, and they turn the ray on.
The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.

Yes, I'm curious too.   I couldn't stand it and went ahead and sprung for that set and the survey crew.   Thinking they have to be close enough.

They are in, but I've been too lazy to get pics.  I'll remedy that tonight. :facepalm:

Generally happy, and not to much off from their 1:160 counterparts.  Odd as it sounds I've been struggling to recreate some of my fellow, more portly southerners, and the added bulk of the British figures may help with that quest.

Model Power has a nice set of portly figures.  I think those would be just the ticket. Well, most figure manufacturers (like Presiser or Noch) offer this type of a figure set (just pricier).

I have a Preiser 250 unpainted figures set that I pull out and paint occasionally, and it has some portly folks. Its just easier to do that AND in railroad safety garb if its already painted.

MP figures are painted, and so are Preiser and Noch - for additional price.  :)  But even painted, MP figures are reasonably priced.

So here's a quick cell phone grab of the Bachmann/Graeme Farrish figures with their companion Preiser workers:



Sizing look pretty similar.
