I didn't give it a second thought when I looked at the images on Thingiverse, he has superimposed faces on the models. The reason he has done this is because on the printed ones the faces are just flat with a bump for a nose. The rest of the figures are quite detailed, but because of the pose, it creates a lot of very small and narrow features that a printer can't cope with, eg a rifle barrel printed horizontally is so thin that it just won't work. He would have been better off creating these figures in parts like a kit.

Is it possible to remove the head and ancillary bits? Heads are relatively easy to find and things like rifles etc would have to e chopped off anyway? To save high-jacking your build thread, I am reposting this to my British figures thread.
