I experimented a little more with the scene yesterday.

It seems that the culprit is the size channel for 'wanderer.obj':

If I remove the channel (and pull the camera back), the man looks fine.

If I add the size channel with sizes of (20,20,20), the man looks ok, but
with sizes of (10,10,10) or (8,8,8) the man goes to pieces (litterally!!).

I'm still hoping for help...
