Does anyone have a suggestion for a wire cutting team figs?

Peter Pig makes engineering figs, flamethrower, mine detector, and satchel charge. But I'm stumped on how to indicate a wire cutting team. Save for lack of the other three.

I don't recall any off the top of my head. However, Peter Pig does make a Company and Above Command pack. They are kneeling figures. Could you add something to look like Bangalore Torpedo to indicate wire breaching? Just a thought.

Edit:
Perhaps you could cut the head and point off of a thin nail and use the remaining shaft as the Bangalore.

Put some cut wire on the base of a figure to indicate his function

I just happen to be painting some engineers now. This guy is from Battlefront and he is in the engineers blister. I think he is digging, its not entirely clear, but I thought he would work well enough as a wire cutting guy. The other guys can just be riflemen as escorts.

Private Snafu he's probing for mines with a bayonet, he goes with the lad lifting a teller mine and the one with the mine detector.

I used the same figures for coc as well and added a couple from the beach assault blister with bangalores.
Same as yourself I use them for engineering tasks depending on the game with standard riflemen as the remainder of the team.

Well my friend Rodney modified a few FoW figs for me for my Wire Team Engineers, with wire cutters and Bangalore Torpedoes

humm, seem to need a bit more matte spray… :oops:
