They certainly allow more lifelike poses to add to your excellent customs, cheng.

Yes, I agree- more versatile, greater variety of poses!

Are you going to put together a diorama of the Boxer Rebellion being suppressed by the massed forces of Britain, France, Germany, Japan, Russia, USA, Italy, Austria-Hungary (I looked it up on Wikipedia!)? You seem to be focussing on that historical period at the moment. :wave:
At that moment the ship suddenly stopped rocking and swaying, the engine pitch settled down to a gentle hum. 'Hey Ford.' said Zaphod, 'that sounds good. Have you worked out the controls on this boat?' 'No,' said Ford, 'I just stopped fiddling with them.' (With thanks to Douglas Adams)

actually I have a unlighted and covered shelf depicting the Boxer Rebellion but the forces are  in ranks to save space and there are no buildings except a facade at the back of the low shelf....maybe will clean it one of these days and temporarily display them and take a photo for PF ok? and I've yet to make Italian and Austro-Hungarian troopers  ;D

Great use of those arms cheng. Especially that you've found a way to let klickies shoulder those bolt action rifles, which have always looked non-PM to me.

And count me in as someone who really wants to see your Boxer Rebellion dio! Should be a whole theme of course...

besides Italians and Austro-hungarian troops, I'm still hoping for chinese-looking buildings...not good at Steck....I'm sure with so much steck parts now, some of you can easily come up with chinese-looking buildings.....I did buy those chinese structures from the zoo set and those on the castle walls of the Asians but unlike LEGX, I cant make any decent buildings with them without chinese-looking windows and doors....guess I dont have the improvisation skills for buildings :P
