Thanks Paul, I still got the lanyard for the whistle on the left shoulder to do.

Here's a pix of the lanyard done with twisting two lengths of brass wire. I prefer using wire than thread as its easier to manipulate and paint.

Whistle lanyards done for these two figures...another three have them round their shoulder but not attached to the pocket as yet. Another four more to go.

All whistle lanyards done and they're in a row comparing with the previous photo...

After

All I need to add now are the single ammunition pouches and weapons. Much easier than making the monkeys.

Really excellent figure modifications. Soon be at the painting stage

Thanks Jim, yes nearing the painting stage. I still have to do seven single ammo pouches which are characteristically worn by the Police force at the time. Here are four of them...

They were quite fun to make and made it to the last seven before it cured hard. Got the Stens out with the pistol grip, wooden stock and minus the foregrip. Making the straps from thick foil, masking tape and wire.

Can you see the differences and additions to the ammo pouches and hands?

Superb - but the answer is still --- maybe!

Thanks Steve, yup...still tinkering and cleaning up the figures. The differences were minor but needed like making the hands into clenched fists holding onto rifle slings or a thumb on a clipboard or canvas clasps for the ammo pouches...

Here's the wild bunch ready for priming...

I added pleats for the shorts on this, the clenched fist and thumb...

For this he got a Webley holster and lanyard from the pistol to his collar...

The rifle barrels has been repaired...

You can clearly see the canvas clasp here...

Fingers wrapped around rifle...

I decided to leave the other weapons and slings off until after the priming and paint those separately.

Cheers,

Break dancing comes to mind. Lovely.
