German Navy Set (1 Viewer)

[OzDigger]

For me Sean Connory and Pierce Brosnan are the best Bonds. For me, hands down the best Bond Girl is the only girl James Bond ever married, Diana Riggs. Sadly she is not remembered as a bond girl (only as Emma Peel from the Avengers) because she was in the one movie with George Lazenby, the least popular Bond.

Lazenby may be the least popular Bond in your opinion Louis. However I reckoned he was the most physically aggressive Bond there's been. He kicked a$$ in the fight scenes in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" and would have enjoyed a terrific career as Bond if he had agreed to further roles. As it was he knocked them back and got the Hollywood cold shoulder, the rest is history. But I have to admit Lazenby lacked the suaveness that most people expect from Bond.

Imo the least impressive Bond was Roger Moore as he often played the role for laughs and was overly camp at times, but I still liked most of the Bond movies Roger did.

I just put out my old Conte Curio Cabinet and have all the King and Country Collector Club Figures in release order displayed in it. (I am still missing #1 and there is a $100 Bill awaiting the lucky seller who PM's me - who wants to sell it )

Anyway - looking at the display tonight I focused on the recent German Navy Figure at Attention and wonder.........Is there a German Navy Set in our future??

If you look at all the Collector Club Figures you see what Ranges they go in - like WS, NA, MK, etc... In some case like in the Crusaders, WWI and Light Brigade - these figures were the early warnings of Ranges to come......................
Sooooooo - GERMAN NAVY IN OUR FUTURE ??

What do you guys think?

You know Ron - I thought the same thing . I think the Kreigsmarine would be popular. A number of good movies too on the subject from Hollywood.
I could image a deck gun and crew , AAA Deck battery , Dingy and crew...alot of possibilities
Bring'em on Andy !

how about one huge boat that could go on yourrrr uh o wait...


but i like the idea of individual scenes but i think if they do that they need to not just do gun but attach it to a deck piece

How about a set of Doenitz(know I blew the spelling) giving awards to U-Boat captains?

I would love a Jagdtiger,but i'm sure Andy said a while back that he doesn't like the Tank.

You're on to something there. I was told Andy wouldn't do a Naval gun set, but this idea could work. As to the best Bond, no question, Sean Connery. The best Bond Girl, even though she turned out to be in league with the bad guy, in my humble opinion is Sophie Marceau.

Yah an awards ceremony would be pretty cool.

 

[Tex]

An awards ceremony for Bonds and Bond girls or U-Boat captains?

Hi Ray-

As usual, great idea - photo 1.

Also:

Photo 2 - The capture of Grand-Admiral Dönitz,

Photo 3 - Dönitz with Rader and Hitler in 1939.

Thanks Pierre,
That photo #1 looks exactly as I envisioned, those bearded and semi-bearded sailors are a subject I'm sure Andy could make classically come to life!

Here's Ron Volstad's artwork for the Dragon Model's 1/35 model kit of German naval troops:

Also, I think even better than German naval troops would be Soviet ones, who saw a lot more land action and were considered an elite (as opposed to the German naval troops who were second-line infantry). Unlike most Russians their uniforms were very nice so these might actually sell. We need some new opposition to the Germans on the Eastern Front!

CS,
I believe Del Prado has a version of this Soviet naval trooper.

Soviets no matter how good looking just dont have the same appeal as germans.
