Thanks Greg, but guess what?

BINNED IT!!!!!!!!!!

The rifle was a nightmare to fit and I caused quite a bit of damage fixing it into place. However, that was repaired to a reasonable degree, but then I found that the panzerfaust just wouldn't rest in the hands because the rifle was in the way!!!! I tried extending the right hand by adding a shirt cuff, but by that stage there's was glue everywhere and the finish was so compromised that it was pointless to carry on.

Sorry folks.

Hi Peter
It was looking fine but if the equipement doesn't fit realistically then that would draw the eyes away from the rest, however well painted. Anyway - onwards and upwards.

Hi John and Lee

No point in continuing with something that can't be rectified. I'd rather bin it than have something that goes straight to the back of the cabinet.
