Thanks Steve and bwilt.
Steve - definitely have a go. Follow my step by step, it’s easy.
Bwilt - I got the idea of the cups from Spike Milligan’s Mussolini, his part in my downfall, where he describes the depressing sound of troops going up the line. The occasional clang of a tin cup against metal.

Thanks Ian. I used to glue the figures down but with these marching guys, I decided to put metal rods in the legs to hold them in place.

Just had a lovely hour putting this figure together from Tamiya. I knew I was in for something special when I saw the torso is in two halves, front and back. There are square pegs and holes so each part fits together perfectly. Seam lines just needed one pass with a hobby blade. Only thing missing was a strap for the rifle.

Now that's a smashing figure, those new tamiya figs are pretty special. The pose is also really nice.

Thanks guys. Can’t wait to put the others together.
Bwilt, I may put them on the REDZEBRA rubble diorama.

These Tamiya figures have been amazing to put together. Some real engineering went into making these. The detailing is phenomenal, better than some resin figures and a damn sight easier. Just look at these hands.
