Question Mudmen and Figurines

I was just wondering if any of you potters (and there are some great ones here Dale, Ian,...just to name a couple, well you guys aren't REALLY a couple LOL) are carrying on the tradition of making mudmen?,...Now I know, that in contemporary bonsai, mudmen aren't used all that much outside of mallsai,...but I for one DO like those little guys or boats or bridges, deer,horses,pagodas etc., in some compositions, to me they can (when used properly) really add a sense of scale to a bonsai, bonkei, or penjing. If you are still making them let's see some pics of your work. Thanks
