         It says in my book you
         are doing it wrong,
          typical boss figure.

         Look up there, is it a
         bird, is it a plane...                   Workers





                                 Above:                        hen it comes to figures of workers, there is no denying that they can make
                                                               a model look more interesting, and are great for dioramas. AT Collections
                            Sitting down on the job,   W
                            with orange overalls and           have  so  far  released  seven  construction  workers  in  1:32nd  scale,
                               without helmet.                 a perfect match to the 1:32nd scale Volvo wheel loader and wheeled
                                                    excavator. Each figure has his own pose and is appropriately dressed in safety gear,
                                                    hand painted to good effect. With the exception of the seated figure, all the others can
                                                    be placed on a flat surface and remain standing although a spot of blu-tack ensures they
                                                    remain standing. While I suspect the seated figure was designed to fit into the cab of
                                                    the Volvo’s, I found it quite tricky to get him into the EWR150 without causing damage
                                                    to the interior, so ended up leaving him out.
