            I think I have 11 helmets with cloth covers on so that's probably the number

              I have a similar OR but not many organ donors as you have. Am quite explicit in even matching the blood type:tongue-out: Cool selection of limbs and outnards.

                  Very clever stuff Neil. This adapting figures malarkey is a branch of the hobby with it's own set of skills. What putty do you use to fill in the joints?

                    Milliput usually Jim.
                    Sometimes it only needs a bit of PPP or similar. I also use Duro (Greenstuff) for the hair and delicate things, and GW Liquid Greenstuff is quite good as well.

                            13 so far.....
                            I don't know if I will do any more - I still have some interesting pics that I haven't replicated yet but I may have peaked.
                            I've put them in a box for now so I can get back to the Fusiliers and avoid distraction.
                            Thanks everyone for watching.

                                Not all on the beach had helmet covers, so you shouldn't limit yourself to eleven fighting dudes.
