But with very primitive tricorders that only work unidirectionally (I guess these white rolls are meant to be newspapers). ;D Not newspapers. Towels. They must have copies of The Hitchikers Guide. |

^^ all I can see is Lando and Chekov. I don't know how many times it is now on the internet in which I see 'Chekov' and initially think people were referring to the writer Anton Chekhov, then realise otherwise. ;D |

You may be the only person on the Internet that thinks that way... ;D He's not. I shan't be surprised if I were. ;D But I do not hold that lofty distinction, alas. Aside from Chema, I do know there are others too. ;D And why blush, Chema? Quite the contrary, you ought to take pride in your sophistication. ;D ;D ;D |

Hey, Star Trek is sophisticated. Oh, absolutely! Gotta love the Tribbles!  Niroot, fact that I am an actor helps being familiar with the guy, same as any paleontologist student around would be familiar with authors he or she had to study. I actually played a couple of characters from a play of his ("The Seagull"). But I must confess I am pretty incult on terms of my own proffesion -I know no more than a couple of main authors, but any truly literate person on the subject soon realizes how little I have really read... |

^^ all I can see is Lando and Chekov. Funny you said Chekov...when I first scrolled onto this photo, I immediately saw the left figure as Dr. McCoy/Bones from Star Trek. I think it was the blue shirt that swayed me - looks like the old ST uniform he wore. The cast shadow even gives the shirt a v-neck look. "D@mn it Jim, I'm a doctor, not a little tiny figure!" ;D The more I look at it though, it's obviously Hal Holbrook. |

Hey, Star Trek is sophisticated. Of course it is! I wasn't implying otherwise at all. Only that being familiar with Anton Chekhov is equally to be celebrated. ;D Chema, that is just too brilliant your having acted in The Seagull before. Who did you play? |

Chema, that is just too brilliant your having acted in The Seagull before. Who did you play? I played as Trigorin (the writter) and later I played as Medvedenko (the teacher who is in love with Masha). |

I played as Trigorin (the writter) and later I played as Medvedenko (the teacher who is in love with Masha). Fantastic. I would have loved to have seen you in those roles. I can see you making a good Trigorin, actually. ;D Sorry for the slight diversion from the thread! |

Thanks for your kind words, my friend. Let's go back on topic! Here's a list of figures that I am using to scale the dinosaurs. Hope it's helpful! 1:10 = 7`` action figures ("Heroes" action figures, for example) 1:12 = "Masters of the Universe" vintage figures -- not the best ones to display besides dinos, but need to find better figures on 1:12 yet (somebody?)1:13 = "Doctor Who" & "Primeval" action figures 1:15 = Kenner "Jurassic Park" action figures 1:18 = "Gijoe" and Hasbro "Jurassic Park 3" action figures 1:20 = Papo and Schleich male humans 1:22 = Schleich female humans 1:30 = need to find these (anybody?)1:40 = Schleich scale boy 1:45 = Lego figures 1:50 = need to find these (anybody?)1:60 = need to find these (anybody?)1:72 = Matchbox die-cast "The lost world" humans |

Most of the Safari toob people are 1:30--in particular, the 'safari' looking guys (desert, rain forest, australia toobs)

Yes, I have often used the human figure from the "Land Down Under Toob" as a 1:30 figure, it's 61 mm high. For 1:50 figures I'd still recommend the Preiser figures, but you'd probably have to buy them as a set and they are a little expensive (but very good). Both are on page 1 of this thread.

Okay, I had to revive this thread for something that really amazed me. A few weeks ago I stumbled about something that was too funny to resist. Accoutrements offers a set of figures at approx. 1:22.5 - 1:24 scale that's called "Horrified B-Movie Victims". What else could I do than to buy them...   So, obviously I just wanted to share what I think is the funniest set of human scale figures to accompany our dinosaur figures...   And there's more... the same company also made an "Evolving Darwin Playset", good old Charlie is 80 mm high without his base, so maybe approx. 1:22.5 scale...   Yes, the set includes a tetrapodomorph with a human face... ;D So I hope you do understand my thread archeology here but I think the old thread was worth reviving, anyways. |
