As you'd expect from HAT, the figures are lovely (though I think thi photo may be upside down) and are provided with separate packs. I didn't see that they were going to stay attached for long with just a dab of PVA so some thought was called for.
Here I have assembled the components of my masterplan. An unsuspecting Russian Musketeer - let's call him Little Ivan, his pack, pliers and a pin!
Using the pliers I shoved the pin into Little Ivan's back.
Ouch!
The pliers were used again to clip the pin so that only about 5mm remained visible.
A dab of PVA was applied and the pack shoved into place.
Little Ivan joins his friends while they wait for the PVA tp dry.

Splendid - will you be using them as Prussian Guards?
Nice work- does PVA hold the plastic well enough even with the pin?
Cheers,
Pete.
Not sure how similar the HaT 54mm plastic is to their 1/72 figures, but I have found that Selleys' All PlasticFix works extremely well on those. It's a superglue that comes with one of those primer pens.
Cheers, Dave

No. Surprisingly (for me) I'll be using them as Russian infantry...

On its own, no. But it's there to supplement the work of the pin.

Thanks for the tip - I'll look out for it.
Cunning!
