Very nice indeed!  :-* :-* Lovely paint work and basing on those.

One small point, the bipod on the RPD attaches to the barrel, right under the foresight not to the gas system. RPK does the same thing, it's the PKM that's the odd man out.
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

Thanks everyone :)

Cheers mate, I didn't know that, I'm so used to PKMs and GPMGs I just assumed that would be the logical place. That'll teach me for not checking.

It took me ages to decide on base sizes/shapes for the prone figures.

They are always a bugger. I faffed around forever with the prone sniper to get a suitable pose as I wasn't using the supplied pile of urban rubble.
