I had to do what Gerald is describing with the horrific Coree 1/35 USMC IWO JIMA set.

NOTHING fit on that kit and I had to make all those hands, arms, legs, torsos and feet fit the rocky base and the flagpole.  I used wire and putty to mount it all up and fill the gaps. 

If you aren't having fun, you're doing it wrong! Build to please yourself and they will flame you every time!

You may not find a specific kit but most figures can be positioned by cutting them apart and repositioning their body parts in the desired positions. I use thin wire in the joints, position them and then fill the gaps with putty. A little filing and shaping and you have the figures in the posed in the positions you want them in.

Hello all,

 I have a Demag halftrack with the two rows of seats and I am attempting to copy the halftrack from A Bridge Too Far where all the Germans in the halftrack were seated but shooting, But What I want to show is the few minutes before that where they arent shooting but preparing to open fire. What would be some good kits that I could mix and match to do this?
