When I saw the Miniart US soldiers in Rainwear I immediately had an idea or 3 for some single and multi figure little pieces. First up, Irish Army (there's a surprise) NCO somewhere wet n cold... pick your spot ... Remplacement head from Hornet ( Mk III Helmets, absolutely 💯 shite to wear, and Gustav M-45 , SMG, standard issue along side the FN until replaced by the Steyr in the late 80s. This is one of SSR Models excellent pieces.   If he turns out OK, this chap might end up along side a Landrover build I have planned.

Left hand and SMG now in place . There will also be a sling to be added, but that'll be after most of the painting is done. That will make the positioning of the gun seem a little less awkward.  primer time soon.

Great. Is there a seam line on the right boot, though?

Will revisit this as the contrast is no where near sharp enough I think.
