Thanks to Islipaway for his helpful guide on this.

I've seen a few people asking how to/if it's possible to put the models in game to view. The closest I have been able to get is to open one of the maps in the editor and drop the a character in and pose it, which is a bit more interesting than the grey socket editor box, and lets you control lighting. Here's a quick tutorial on how to set the character up in game to display your new weapon/helmet, hope it's of use to someone!

This doesn't explain how to pose the characters. How can you do it ?

Yes it does, the second image is choosing the pose (from the animations available) You can choose the point in the animation by changing the value of "current time" under animation node sequence.

It is neede to input manually the names of the animations in thw properties of your character.

This has been very helpful, I wish I would have thought of posing them in the actual levels sooner. I just updated my screenshots on steam, they give people a better feel for how my helmet and weapon will fit in the game now.
