Fair call on the chinstrap, that figure's helmet does look like it has the leather version.
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

I have to say, yours look a damn sight better than the examples in the Warlord shop. Have you altered the arms/shoulders at all? Because what put me off from buying the boxed set was the terrible 'stuffed dummy' look of the models with the big bulgy jackets and odd-hanging arms. But yours seem to have avoided it somehow.

Great call giving the Airborne the Sten Mk.V, heaviest of them all, but extremely reliable... I don't think.
I once fired one, the thingibob that holds the magazine spring in fell off. The spring and all the bullets flew out over mi' left forearm...
FIX BAYONETS!
