You did a great job! [X(]
I simply do not have the patience or a steady enough hand to do the same. After all of that work, you will probably want to stick with 1:16 scale figures, as the 1:18 soldiers will not work well in mixed company. I wish I knew of more 1:16 characters, but you might try the Tamiya 1:16 that you build and paint:

You would have to cut one into a torso, but I bet you could do a proper job. [sm=thumbup.gif]
