1/6 Figures on Tour at Aberdeen Proving Ground This began by posing some of my Dragon 1/6th scale German Army figures with my Tiger tank during it's construction. It helped to give scale to the tank and provided an opportunity to have some fun. Then I thought about posing them with the real thing. A trip to Aberdeen PG in Maryland USA during August 2003 was the perfect chance to bridge the gap between the actual German WWII vehicles and 'toy soldiers'. If you don't know, Dragon releases it's figures with a name. Here is 'Falkner'. My next visit to Aberdeen will include 'Dieter' and 'Christian'. I also provide the Aberdeen Inventory Number if you wanted to locate the vehicle yourself. |
