Nowadays it is hard to find new Dragon WW2 mili figures. So I decided to get one before all disappear.

One good thing about Dragon is that it is cheap and affordable,and just simple but with a right amount of loose to set up, unlike DID or SS.

Here is my kitbash, not much change from box apart from replacing HS.
Thanks for browsing.

But it does look so much better with a DiD head sculpt. No?

Good figure. Congratulations.

Nice work . I agree dragon is actual the best 12 inch to have a cheap cost for a good figure.

Great figure and weathering.

Here's an example to all you Dragon haters out there (just kidding . But a basic Dragon figure still has its place in this hobby. Sure the DiD sculpt looks great, but the uniform looks fantastic on the figure too. I miss Dragon and hope they return to making figures...

I think Gustav Mohr was the last boxed figure I bought from DML.....he has the hbt tunic as well doesn't he?......good looking figure, I've been doing the same thing....updating my DML figures with the better quality DID headsculpts.

Nicely done! That's a nicely equipped, solid looking German. Love the weathering.

Actually I like the Dragon HS, Gustav Mohr, as well though I prefer DID's. Here are the pictures I took before I replaced the HS. I did repaint a little bit.

A nice figure in your hands. I actually like both versions. Nothing wrong with Dragon figures, as long as a guy is OK with some of the older type bits they still include. Even new, out of the box, they benefit from a bit of posing. Echobase's display cases always stunned me, how good they looked when displayed side by side. The same with some of Timewalker's displays at local militaria shows.

I'm impressed. Sometimes it is amazing what talented people can do with figures. I have some fairly inexpensive items that I have used to make really beautiful figures for my Grand Son.

Lovely

your weathering turns the ordinary into something really outstanding!

 

[Ephiane]

Great Figure !

Is the piping on the shoulder straps white or the pzgren green? can't tell. If they are white they should be changed to green. That aside this is a great looking figure.... congrats.... Harold

Gustav Mohr came with green piped shoulder boards for Pnzr grenadier.

Good work.

Excellent - your weathering really brings the figure to life. The DiD headsculpt is definitely more realistic looking, but DML sculpts can look just as real with a good re-paint.

Really like this one... both versions look good. The only thing that distracts me when looking at it is the breast eagle. Not sure what the solution would be, but being so weathered, the eagle sticks out with too different a texture. Maybe a cloth eagle or a CVI insigna. Although CVI weathered insignia tend to degenerate with time...
But love the feel of this figure.
