    Meet Fritz, my new helper

    I just hired a new shop helper. His name is Fritz Bruder. At 4.25 in (108 mm) he's just the right size to operate some of my engines in my absence.

    Here he is tightening the nuts on the cylinder plate...



    and, with his hand on the forward/reverse control, he's ready to let 'er rip...



    I've wanted to get some elfin workmen figurines to brighten up some of my shop photographs for a long time. Workmen figurines are not that easy to find and many of them are not posable. These Bruder figures from Germany satisfy those requirements nicely...

    https://www.amazon.com/Bruder-Constr...bruder+figures

    They're fully articulated - neck, shoulders, elbows, hips, knees - and beautifully detailed. Bruder also supplies accessories to accompany them. Just type "bruder figures" into Amazon to see them, including the female worker.

    I think his name SB Hans Gruber. Oh forget that, he would want to destroy everything.

    I like all of your minatures I have seen, Marv.
