The prone mortar...Thanks 798y89p for you comments, <br />The prone mortar team are all plastics from Warlord games,<br />If you view the picture of the medic in this page of the blog you will see that this is the torso I used for the mortar team.<br />Mortar firer: just place the torso on the ground flat separate both legs at the junction of the lower torso, the right leg with the slight bend is then rotated and glued in place, the leg leg is place straight out, with another cut made below the gauntlet and the foot is place with the sole of the shoe showing. The head is propped up a bit and some green stuff was used to fill in the gap. <br />The loader: The same torso was used and positioned on its side. the straight leg has only been modified at the top of the gauntlet where a cut was made so that it could be placed flat on the ground. The right leg was cut at the junction of the torso and moved slightly so that the boots would touch the ground.<br />hope this helps <br />cheers John <br />Ps. use blue tac to temporarily join the bit together, once happy with the position glue them down.
