Hi Tom,
glad you're back!
Regarding the MP, I would paint his ceinturon white and would add a revolver holster+ammo pouch (also in white of course!) Take a look at this site:
http://imgarcade.com/1/british-army-ww2-uniforms/
He would most probably not have a sten here nor hold it like that if he had. It may look like nothing, but it's actually quite heavy.
And given the fact that the town is fully occupied, he would rely on his Webley!
He looks more like front-line traffic control than guarding Monty. The white sleeves are used for TC only anyway!
Indoors the service cap would replace the helmet.
But never mind me!
Cheers
Romain

Many thanks for all your input to this. .
A special thank you to Bill Davis who took the time and effort to help me out with some of the things I was having a hard time getting.
The major thing was the wall lanterns.3 month backorder.
Added ceiling beams,furniture,plant pots,Montys briefcase and Bill,had to get the dead rat in there.
A very HAPPY NEW YEAR to all.

Thank you everyone.
Took some time,but in the end I'm pretty happy with it.
Some smaller things on the bench that have been waiting I need to get to.
It definitely got me back into doing more WW2 as to mostly modern builds.
Once again,thanks to all for comments and advise.
