The Little People. A Brave New World.

Which one will you choose Joe ?

The boat on the cup of tea. A hard choice from so many brilliant ones, but as an avid tea drinker I particularly love that one.

Thanks again for the thread, absolute class.

Brilliant

Must have a fair collection of these figures by now. And at around £4 each, it'll not be cheap.

No, not cheap. As a long retired person I think it is important to keep occupied and this 'silly little hobby' helps me keep busy. Getting difficult to source new figures now, I am having to buy from ebay.de (Germany)

Sir, you have a twisted view on the world.

And I like it.

Sorry if its lost somewhere in the thread - saw this a few months ago and was intrigued (and very, very impressed), so bought some mini figures off Amazon (that took 5 weeks to get here from China) and they are terrible, stupid tiny tiny little figures so badly moulded you cannot even tell the sex of them - where do you get your figures/accessories from?

Just seen - Preiser and Noch, apologies :-)

Just found this thread - these are superb! What a great hobby!
May I ask....clearly many are self-standing, but how do you get some of the others into place - like the ones climbing the hip flask on the first page? spot of adhesive? blu-tack?!

Keep it up, these are great fun 💪

Thanks Mike for joining in and your kind words. I use a combination of 'stickys' mainly something called 'Tacky Wax' which is certainly sold in model shops etc. If Tacky wax doesn't 'hold' then I have resorted to Super glue ! a la climbing the hip flask. I find with care and a very sharp craft knife i can get the super glued figures of most surfaces with very little damage. Blue tack can be useful but you need a sizeable 'blob' that tends to be noticeable. I have been learning as I go really . . . and still am.
