Yep its a sprue of Two figures with seperate arms - One has the Two arms attached to the rifle, and the other are a seperate arm holding the rifle and an arm with clenched fist, I have about Five sets of them and they are all the same moulding and arm positions, the heads are seperate also - so in theory if the arms were placed in the same position - there would be just the Two positions. None of these show firing positions to do I would have to use the other figures arms but alter thier cuffs. OC.

My late farther used to buy cheap old UK Fords Like the Cortina mk 2 and mk 3, he used to get them dirt cheap second hand and do them up as good as he could including brush painting both of them - I helped him hand paint the mk3 with Tekaloid paint he got from his works - he had it made up in his works paint shop, I remember we would mask up an area at a time with newspaper then paint say a whole wing then rear wing - doors bonnet - boot - roof etc not the best in the summer with all those flies and nats in the out doors. I also remember us doing a top end referb putting new guides in and piston seals. Like these pics off the net. OC. -
I have been measuring up how much room I have for my display board and it will be 36 Inches x 20 Inches (91.4cm x 50.8cm) the farm building complex I will be getting measure (62cm x 46cm) but that doesn't leave a lot of space at the front where a lot of the action was, so I have decided the best option is to make the rear stables building a "False Building" I will just show the face of the wall with a cut out for the rear entrance and will paint a false hoizon view, by doing this I think I will free up another 5-6cm's to give me more room at the front where the road will go.

Evening all, got some more progress on my little armies - have started on Five more KGL the light regimant in thier Green uniforms, Five is a good number to do in a go as thier easy to work on without feeling too repetetive, although they have only Two positions I will try to make them look slightly different - I will post some more pics when I have done a bit more. OC.

Glad you have a plan that will sort that little headache brother, by the way I can see the decs on the deck - they are a nice addition to give it some detail, and better than trying to mask and paint them. OC.

Old Collingwood replied to Old Collingwood's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
I am putting this one on hold also as trying to do this is impossible due to working with what I have at the moment (no super glue) so I have managed to wreck my bang seats trying to glue down pe using revel proffesional contacta glue - abit like trying to inflate tyres with water. Oh well thats Two on hold at least my soldiers are simple and need no super glue. OC. -

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
