In response to Woodsy's query, here are the two antagonists from my recent pic. A bit like the Konami Anderson toys, Takara released a series of tiny space models, under the Royal Museum of Science title. I've also got a Prospector probe from the series. Exquisitely detailed, even tnough very tiny, the sculpt is based on an original 1940's illustration from War of the Worlds.
They're gorgeous Bill. The Japanese are masters of the miniature and have a real true passion for sci fi. I suppose they are as much small works of art as anything. Netsuke in fact!
