Dreadnought's Collection

Never started a dedicated collection thread on AMMO. So time to showcase a few of my figures methinks..

Adventurers First.























The blue jumper one is actually my wife's action man. YES YOU HEARD ME CORRECTLY -MY WIFE'S ACTION MAN !!!

I’m really liking the look of your Adventurers in your collection Dreadnought . Looking forward to seeing pictures of more figures of your collection.

Sharp looking adventurers!

Great start to your thread

Fantastic shots Kev! and you ca't go wrong with an adventurer! especially when the vam one is teamed up with a Geyper! Looking forward too seeing more from the D HQ personal photos

Thank you kindly chaps for your positive comments. I'll be adding to this very regularly.

Outstanding! As I said, it will be great too see the boys of your HQ

Outstanding work on the Sea dventurer Kev!

Top work Kev!!!

He looks Seatastic!!!

The team in the jumpers with the ammo bandoliers are seriously cool!

But that Sea Adventurer... now you're talking!

Are those actual work-in-progress photos from a reflock that you did yourself? Outstanding work! The finished guy looks brand spankin' new!

Wow great job!

Thanks all for your comments.

It is one of my own re-flocks yes.
It's an old action man figure customed into a Sea Adventurer.
You can see from one of the photos that some previous owner had written the name 'Joe' in ink across his cheek.
So I re-flocked him in order to mask the facial damage a bit and kitted him with Walmart reissues.

He looks great ..Top job

Cheers mate, appreciate it.

Had this old beat up ex-flock head which I stripped, restrung and re-painted hair in black to return him to PH status.





Had a very nice quality Red Devil jumpsuit lying about so tried it on him..





50th goggles off a spare Ski Patrol set I had.





50th booties also, which I must are very nice quality as is most of the 50th kit.



Had an old Devils helmet which I repainted (the black trim) and repaired the bust chin strap with a portion  matching cable tie and a hot soldering iron to meld them together.





Steady on mate !! You still need a parachute rig !!



Here he his with a 40th pal in a really old redyed jumpsuit



Beret is a repainted 40th.



Might scan the insignia and sharpen it to make fabric beret badges for beret and suit?

Great work on both the figure and his kit

I’m liking the look of the two Red Devils.

Sharp!

Gee he almost shelfed dived...

Love the ready-to-jump pose! Get that man a parachute pack! He's itchin' for action!

Nice work Kev! He looks great!

Two full rebuilds from wrecked figures. Both stripped, cleaned, re-flocked and re-kitted as Germans.

Great stuff! they look ready for duty

From wrecked figures to now cleaned, re-flocked and re-kitted Germans . Fabulous rebuilds Dreadnought and very nicely displayed though your pictures.

When I was a little kid, I used to just sit and stare at the WWII German soldier GI Joes in the Sears catalog.

Those were the days, huh? When WWII style German soldier figures could be sold openly in a regular retail outlet?

I never got a German soldier. Might be fun to try to build one.

Do you do the flocking yourself?
