These days, I'd probably cut the corner off a staple and glue that to a stand, before attaching the ATR man and his weapon. For PTRS's I used a small piece of card by way of a magazine.<br />Archduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7152572458899289416.post-26281434812614889912019-03-29T13:56:12.095+00:002019-03-29T13:56:12.095+00:00Ken H

I have seen but don't own the Supreme Sovs. I have a load of their Napoleonic figures which are rather nice.<br />I am aware of the Irregular Maxim but basically too mean to buy one.

I'll have to pick up one up.<br /><br />If you find yourself in need of more heavy weapons for the great patriots of Mother Russia, another option for the AT rifle (as well as a mortar of sorts) is the Supreme? WW2 Soviet set (https://smile.amazon.com/Russian-Infantry-Figure-Playset-Weapons/dp/B079VFJGCZ/ They are Italeri winter-uniform knock-offs and somewhat generously described as "pre-painted"). For the maxim, Irregular Miniatures does one as well.John Yhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16465161620134394060noreply@blogger.com
