Thanks, Bish. I appreciate you replying. The barrels aren't available any more and those figures are indeed hard to find. But you got me looking harder. I think I found some usable figures by Orion and Caesar. I might order a set from Mantis, too. Between all of those, I think I'll have what I need for figures. Too bad about the barrel, but I've assembled barrels before and gotten it right. Only this barrel is huge! I think I have a year-long project here. Looks like it will be fun, though---till I have to figure out where to put it when it's done!! Barrett
