It was a fun project, but more woodworking than modelling. The process for the build was:

1 - rather than scan the box art I copied the photo on the Historex Agents website
2 - pasted it in Word and sized the photo so the photo was exactly the same size as the figures, then printed 3 copies.
3 - using bits of card I worked out the size of the frame for the whole figures.
4 - using a piece of A4 paper I cut a strip of 'film' containing three full frames, behind each of these was fixed one of the printed pictures of the model. The result was a full size (54mm) strip of film of 3 frames each with a photo of the model in place.
5 - using bits of card I worked out where the upper and lower frames would be cut, and where the second set of figures would be cut
6 - the 'film frame' of one and two half frames was cut from a sheet of plastic card, sprocket holes punched out and the 'film' sprayed matt black.
7 - one set of figures cut with a hacksaw.
8 - all the figures painted and put in place.

The modelling was only a tiny part of the project. phew!

I'd never have thought of doing that, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Gavin. richard, Steve - thanks fof the compliments

Pete - part of the fun is trying to work out a solution to an 'odd' idea - it's surprising how useful bits of cardboard can be!
