Yeah, I wasn't sure about the hand position on the figure if it would be conducive to mounting an RPG on him, even if he is just taking a look and it is pointing more towards the ground as he takes a look, but ideally if it was pointing down the street he is looking down would be even better.

Re: Freedom - Meng Pickup Dio
I was thinking sort of a relaxed pose/grip over a shoulder, but looking back at the crouched figure, I don't think that will work.
My opinion....
One of 2 ways.
Under his hand that is on the ground (like he is leaning on it), or, in his right hand, but the hand not on the firing grip, but just around the tube, and then under his arm, instead of over the shoulder. Just sort of a peeking around the corner to see what is there...taking a look at the target before getting ready to shoot sort of thing.
Strapped to his back....likely not if they just jumped out of the truck....would be no point to it, but leaning on it, or just holding it in the other hand before getting it ready to shoot, would be more plausible I think.

Tried under his hand and the ground, doesn't look natural either.
Hmmm....
What about this? Sure, the dude is static, a hurried pose would be much better. He does fill that sidewalk space well though. As if he's waiting for the 'GO'.

Re: Freedom - Meng Pickup Dio
Good one Gag

Another quick update. I've added glass to the windows, attached the doors and roof rack, added a few bullets holes to
the rear passenger door and put plastic in that window, with some thin masking 'duct' tape to represent a fix after the window was shot out. For the window I used the plastic from a SUBWAY (Eat Fresh) bag.
Almost, almost finished. Anxious to finish too.

Looking sweet, Scott. The spacing of the figures looks good, lends a sense of "Tension" to the scene.
The groundwork is superb. Maybe a little litter and detritus laying around might help. The finishing
touches to the Insurgent Hoopty look terrific. Almost done, Congrats. Bill
