WWII German Dragon Figures

Every since the first GI Joe figures I have collected 12 inch action figures.

The vast majority of GI Joes were Americans, as are the most of my collection of 1/6th scale figures.

But I do have a few figures by Dragon and a couple other companies that are WWII Germans.

Unlike GI Joe who as intended for boys, the Dragon Models figures are intended for men.

As such their level of detail is very high, and they have a large number of accessories.

I like the variety of weapons they have.  Here is an MP44 late war assault rifle.

This guy is based on Steiner from the movie Cross of Iron.  He has an anti-tank mine.

On his back is a Soviet Union PPSh submachine gun.  All my WWII German figures are Army, Navy, or SS, with a couple pilot figures.  I don't paratroopers in 1/6th scale.  My intention is that they work as opponents to my WWII US Army troops who are organized as a regular infantry platoon in the European Theater of Operations.  So that's about 40 infantry, plus the supporting elements they might reasonably have attached in direct support.  One 60mm mortar, two light tanks, a couple Jeeps, and some light and heavy machine guns.

Kiss Kiss Club is Surrounded

Fiona Volpe enters the Kiss Kiss Club looking for Mr. Bond.

As her henchmen surround the club, searching for Mr. Bond.

They seal off every exit.

A pair of henchemen at the entrance, in the upper right, and the lower right.  Each armed with a handgun.  Viona Volpe in the upper center, near the bar.

Where is Bond?

He was wounded at the Junkanoo and went into the restroom to treat his injury.
 

Kiss Kiss Club is Finished

Kiss Kiss Club, Nassau, Bahamas.

A wonderful place to stop, have a drink, dance, and enjoy the band.

King Erison Combo is the featured band.  Here is a photo of the bar in the distance.

The restrooms, in pink, and the entrance, near the beach ball.

Largo's yacht Disco Volante, crewmen after James Bond.  Note each has a pistol in his hand.

Restrooms heavily modified from Dollar Tree building, and so is the ticket booth and the bar.  The bandstand is scratch built, the figures are all conversions from cheap styrene figures from Amazon, and a few random figures from other sources.  The firearms are bits of plastic added to civilian figures to simulate guns.  The base is PVA plastic sheeting 1/4 inch thick, very rigid, very expensive.  I got it used, for free, about 25 years ago in a large quantity and I am still using it up.  Trees are swizzle sticks from Dollar Tree.  Chairs are wire and plastic scratch builds.  Dance floor is sheet plastic with contact paper border.  Posters were digitally created by my daughter.  Billboards from Target stores.  Concrete color bases are removable or reposition-able for different scenarios, as are all the buildings and trees.  So the whole thing is very modular.  The whole base is 20 x 16 inches.  I worked on it off and on for a couple years.
