A few years ago I saw one of these being used as part of a 25mm Greys
vs. humans miniatures game run at Colours ('97 I think) - it looked to
pe a perfect scale in comparison with the figures (GZG greys I think,
probably the assorted humans with guns were GZG as well). The following
year I think the same group did a Starship Bloopers
^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^HTroopers game using the plastic bugs and assorted
25-30mm soldier type figures - I think they must have brought every toy
bug in the UK for that one (well, the south of England at least).
