FWIW in 15mm you don't need to be super detailed.? I made my Bangalore torpedo men by finding a rifleman is a reasonable position then cut off the rifle, and made a bundle of brass wires that his carrying over his shoulder.? Look at your figures and try to imagine how something might be carried.?

I did the same for my wire cutters.?? I took a rifleman with hand down carrying a rifle, cut off the rifle, used a pin drill to drill a hole in his hand and took some brass wire, folded it back on itself.? Then took a needle nose pliers and bent the ends out a bit.? I slid one arm into the hand and let the other hang down.? A little squeeze with clippers on the fold joint, and you get a notch like the blades.? It's a little over scale, and would you run with the handle flopping? Not likely, but across the table you can see the figures and read them for what they are.
