You could not only have these little guys build all your scale structures and do decoder installations, but when they were done you could glue HO scale people and animal figures to them and make your whole layout come to life. (You listening Barry? )

Wow....I could give these guys my project list before I go to bed at night and they could have them all finished up in the morning?

Amazing!!! I know I am going to sound like microbuss, but I wants one!! I could integrate my 3D printer to make the parts and these critters would assemble the project. This raises do it yourself to a whole new level of NOT doing it yourself. Isn't technology wonderful??

We could be like the shoemaker and his elves, and just sit back and take the credit (until they became self-aware and revolted ).

I could see this as walking figures on a pike. Maybe slower moving. Maybe have a few for doing paint work on my stuff and tedious things. Nelson, that sounds like something the Terminator movies. Hope they don't pull the plug and nuke us!

Justin, I'm worried I'd wake up one morning and find myself tied down like Gulliver.
