With reference to the SCX/Technitoys Rally Crew figures and continuing the conversation with 'Fluff'  :

They are very similar to the roundy-roundy pit-crews apart from the heads and radio kit, so not too big a job to convert some. If your friend can print heads then that seems a good way to go. (Assuming the heads would be relatively cheap).

The Rally-Crew figures have some fine tools which would probably be difficult to mould. I don't have any experience of taking moulds or casting so cannot speak with any knowledge (Lloyd is dee man!).

Immense Miniatures sell 'civilian heads'  heads separately -  http://immenseminiatures.com/Immense_Miniatures/Figures_1.html  and   http://www.rsslotracing.com  may have them in the UK.

From what I hear, maybe the figures most suitable for your layout are these:

Yo Steve,

In practice, the difficulties with 3D printing are: 1) getting the STL file for the item and 2) smoothing the surface of the finished item.
In the Dental scenario, aspect 2 may not be an issue.  STL files can be scaled so any head could be sized appropriately.

When 3D printing became a thing, my local Asda store had a scanning booth/tent where peeps could stand surrounded by cameras and then get a 3D print of themselves. I don't know anyone who did...   I don't know if they gave you the image file but if they did, it might have been useful.

Yo Steve,

Its about time you introduced a penalty system. Knock over a spectator, 20 seconds penalty, knock over an official, 30 seconds. Kill a spectator, 40 seconds, kill an official, no bacon roll.

Leo ,for one I never want a 3d image of myself , the real thing is bad enough !!!.The penalty system would have most probably have the reverse effect , with our crowd trying to get the most points . Anyway nobody is getting a bacon sandwich , I have got to raise the bar a lot higher
