Heroines, Heroes and Villains (Continuously Updated)

Bambi poses well. Her uniform combined with a picturesque Mauser pistol makes for a dramatic appearance.

She even has a shoulder stock attachment for the Mauser! That's pretty cool!

I'm quite captivated by the "round window" setting you've constructed. It is simple, but perhaps the minimalism enhances the intrigue factor. Is it a bunker? A submarine? A space station? A modernist upscale townhouse in Beverly Hills? All of the above and more, depending on the needs of the storyline?

It's actually supposed to be an air vent in a bunker or villain's lair.

The main part is a circular window vent from an old portable air conditioner that allowed the hose to be vented out the window. There were two, so I have a second. To cover the gaps in the foam core where I cut it to fit the vent, I did the same thing as with my spaceship porthole and cut a loop of shiny cardboard lid material and trimmed it to fit and painted everything in a rusty colour an over sprayed with a bit of gun metal. Then I made a 45 degree foam core duct to glue on the other side and painted the inside with gunmetal. Finally, I put a small battery powered LED bank with a coloured gel underneath it and it's done.

We go to elaborate lengths to "get the shot in 1/6 scale," don't we? Your clever solution for the inside of the duct might help me with a "porthole problem" I've been contemplating.

I saw it as an air vent. Like the one Connery crawled through in Dr. No. Some cool characters and character stories, Gary.

It was inspired by exactly that air vent in Dr. No.

It's very big for a port hole.

I think, visually, Bambi is my favorite.

Wonderful shots as always of the sexy ladies and characters from K-Troop!

Great photos. I also like Bambi, gives off a “Ilsa She Wolf of the SS” vibes.

Bambi was directly inspired by "Ilsa" and while I have a set of black jodhpurs I could have dressed her in, I somehow didn't quite like the look of these with the leather jacket, so she's wearing OD Green pants from one of the ACE Vietnam Play Company or Peace company features with Russian WWII female jackboots which are passable for German ones.  The Mauser C96 pistol was inspired by one of MiskatonicNick's characters, who was an accomplice of his (the original) verison of Dr. Diablos.

This being said, she went through a period of trial and error in costuming before I selected the final version which involved also gluing SS collar insignia to an eBay bought leather jacket from some dealer in China.






Experimentation is the key

Great shot!

Superb Gary!

Hoshi Hasegawa explores an underground chamber

Another great shot! That back wall is an amazing dio piece, Gary!

That dio and the lighting make all the photos look great. I like the henchman shot the best.

Some really cool and fun characters, I like the one with the c96 the most.

Very nice Gary, love the cave setting!

Nice shot. Looks like she’s standing on a beach next to a rocky cliff.

That was pretty much the intent.
