Gangrene is thinking on how to get revenge on Action Man. “I know, I’ll set up a meeting with Action Man where I choose the location. I’ll call a truce to make him come unarmed - a fake truce that is mwahahaha!!”



Treachery at Hound Point.  2-F312-FB0-4474-42-A3-81-C7-193-C5-A0-F69-A0
Action Man gets to the location where he’s to meet Gangrene an hour early. He stashes his uzi and rifle/rocket launcher. He says to himself “Just incase”. He then goes and hides where he can’t be seen and waits for Professor Gangrene.

Professor Gangrene thinks he’s the first person there along with his six Toxic Robots guarding him.

As Action Man walks away from just shaking the hands of the notorious villain Professor Gangrene, he feels that Gangrene didn’t mean anything and it was all a lie. This thought is conformed when he overhears Gangrene ordering his robots to attack.



Treachery at Hound Point.  E8376-A33-C8-CA-4884-B2-B4-2-C7734-D738-D3
He grabs the rifle/rocket launcher from where he stashed it and rounds on the first Toxic Robot nearest to him.

The rifle fire explodes it.

The second Toxic Robot that remains outside raises one of it’s bladed arms but that’s all it managed to do before it’s was fired upon.

It explodes and falls backwards to the ground.

With all the robots now exploded, Action Man watches Gangrene sprint into the distance. He shouts out loud “PROFESSOR GANGRENE YOU MAY RUN THIS TIME BUT YOU WONT BE ABLE TO HIDE FROM ME FOR TO LONG BECAUSE I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN!”

BACKGROUND HISTORY
Hound Point Battery, where the photographs were taken, was built at the beginning of the first world war to protect the Firth of Forth (Forth Estuary in Non-scottish).

In the early 1900s Britain had two major “home fleets”, the Grand Fleet for guarding the North Sea and North Atlantic and the other for guarding the Channel, Bay of Biscay and south to the entrance to the Mediterranean. (There were also a number of smaller fleets all over the world.) At this time Britain saw the main protagonists as Germany and to a lesser extent, Russia. The Grand Fleet was over 200 ships including 32 dreadnought or super dreadnought class battleships (the largest battleships in the world at the time).The home of the Grand fleet was Scapa Flow, a vast anchorage among the islands to the North of Scotland. To service these ships Navel bases in Rosyth, South Queensferry and Grangemouth were built all on the Firth of Forth. The Firth of Forth was regarded as "the most protected harbour in the British Empire” and by 1916 it became the main home of the Grand Fleet.

Hound Point Battery was one of many gun batteries defending the Firth of Forth. It consisted of two guns of six inch caliber. The location used for the photoshoot was the local ammunition lockers underneath the gun platform. Beneath this is the shelter for the crew. Not far away is the main ammunition store for the shells and the power magazine (like most big guns, they were loaded with a bag of powder charge and a projectile).

The story and pictures are amazing! That's a lot of figures, and a lot of different set-ups and shots! Impressive work! Action packed all the way through!

With another "missile in flight" photo, even!

The behind the scenes shots were amazingly fun to see! It's great to see you crawling around on the ground again, Alex! Good stuff!

I found the history of the location particularly interesting, as are the photos of the bunkers! Just think, those structures are over 100 years old!

Is this location near where you live? That was a lot of figures and gear to pack with you if you had to drive to the location. Or did you put it all in a backpack and walk there?

This is by far one of my favorite posts I've seen on the AMMO forum in a long time, because of the combination of elements:

1. An action-packed ACtion Man story featuring a lot of figures and characters.
2. A visually interesting outdoor location.
3. Behind-the-scenes "making of" photos.
4. Seeing Alex in action along with his crew: that's what "playing with Action Man" is supposed to be about, having fun with friends and family, and it is fantastic to see you still doing this as an adult with other adults! That's how you will stay forever young!
5. Seeing the historic setting - hundred year old military bunkers and gun emplacements.
6. The historical background information included in the "bonus material."

This was a fantastic post! Great work, Robot King and Team!

Your own "adventure gear" in the behind the scenes pics is pretty neat as well. That jacket is particularly nice!
