@Rubicon Models
Just wanted to share something with you (and others). I modified one of the plastic crew figures from one of your excellent model kits to create this all new standing figure (currently unpainted) you see below. It is not finished yet because I have to do a little clean up here and there (mold line on helmet for example), but this is a custom plastic figure. I used parts A15, A13, and A11 from the CCKW-353 kit (280037) and the part 2D from the SdKfz 250 expansion kit (280048) to create this new and unique figure. Of course I had to modify part A11, but that was very easy. Because all the bits are plastic, this custom figure was very easy to create. Power to the plastic

Good example of what you can do with plastic figure box sets. I like what you did with that one MG team where you have the gunner loading his MG34. I too had made something very similar to this from the Blitzkrieg box set.
@everyone
Do not be shy to explore and use your imagination. You can also use bits from other plastic box sets to create even more of a variety in your 28mm WW2 collection of figures. You might already know this, but just in case I will mention this anyway. You can mix and match from different plastic box kits. Did you know that the arms from the Fallschirmjäger plastic box set and the arms from the US Airborne plastic box set can be mixed? Not all of them, but you can use some because the closed cuffs pretty much look the same. This also applies to other plastic box sets as well. British, American, and Soviet arms. I always keep the extra bits for this reason. And its not just the WW2 figures. I have been able to modify many 28mm plastic Dark Ages figures from different box sets. And there is a long list of 28mm plastic figure conversions from Napoleonic gamers. Power to the plastic
