Ah ! This Britains Zookeeper cheers Before we used a lego, it was (with the Schleich man) the first reference to compare sizes on STS. Very Happy

Yes, Christophe is right, Willy always used this model in his pictures and we started using it for comparisons. I also have one. The only problem was that most of us were not used with the size of a 1/32 scale human figure. So, for larger models, we used the Schleich zebra. We still have the Westie from Susanne. We could read a book about STS from the Zookeeper to the Lego brick, also known as a naked mole-rat . Laughing
It is amazing how Britains was also good sculpting human figures. These models have very good proportions, they do not have the large heads and hands we see on Schleich or Bullyland models.

There is so much character in all of these sculpts. I love the pelican with his wings out looking to the side, he looks so disgruntled. I also don't think I realized how many common Chinamals are copies of Britains, but boy it is a lot of them.

This is especially interesting! We no longer dress this dapper as zookeepers, with such a smart hat, but I'm glad for T-shirts and no double breasted coats and vests these days. The tall rubber boots and the broom are spot on, though. Laughing

Yes I would imagine it would also make your work a little bit more uncomfortable too.

Sorted like that they do not look too many and you surely have a good number to add to your collection but it looks quite impressive anyway.

Great collection! I am surprised how many flamingos with blue base you have, as they are quite rare.

It's really cool to see them altogether like this, since they are all scaled to each other, right? What a wonderful zoo that would have been to play with as a child, and to look at now as a child-at-heart. Wink

There are all supposed to be 1/32 but there is some give and take size wise. A lot of these are from my youth in the early 80s and I have just added pieces over the years.

Two new additions are on their way...................stay tuned :)
