Thanks for all the responses guys. Moving on to the back pack. Mostly because I have a lot of the parts already painted. The fuel tanks and "funnel" weapon system will come later. First up, painting the boosters, these are same as the ones in the legs. Metal Mech attached the following image(s): DeAgostini kit builds:

I still have the fuel tanks and "funnels" to build and paint for the back pack. They are a little bit fiddly to paint so gonna hold off and work on the arms and then head next. With the addition of the back pack the stand is now more secure but more complex to remove. So the models are gonna stay on the stands from now on unless really needed to be removed.
