New Busybodies Project

[Chris Bird]

Hi folks
Those who follow live steam will know that I am a huge fan of Rob Bennett's Busybodies (for those who don't they are wonderful, characterful, 16mm/G scalefigures). Rob is planning a new project to make sets of parts readily available via Si Harris' Modelearth business. Rob has done a flyer which is on the Modelearth section of my website here:
http://www.summerlands-chuffer.co.uk/#/ ... 4583624282
He is seeking feedback to see if the project is worth bringing to market. His email is on the page so if you fancy (or don't fancy) these figures, let him know.
Incidentally, I have no commercial connection other than as a customer and fan. I host their pages because I like their stuff.
Cheers
Chris

Excellent idea. Was only thinking the other day how good it would be to combine the quality and detail of the 7/8ths figures with the quirkiness of the 16mm ones...

Hi folks
Just to let you know that Rob and Si have completed the kits and are now offering them at £36 + P&P for a set of three figures. I have updated the web page so you can see them painted.
Cheers

Well I have just finished making mine and I now gather they are available individually. I think they are fantastic!

I have written up the build here:

Great figures...but it's much harder than it looks !

I actually found it easier than it looks! Thinking about it though, using a fresh pack of medium viscosity superglue helped as the bond was good within a few seconds.

Thanks for the photo. Well done.

It's only my very personal opinion...and nothing else !
