Show your mannequins!

[Marcel Banziger]

Many excellent mannequins here in this thread. Very inspiring!!
Here's mine, an Ostfront Luftwaffe airfield guard and Ostfront bombercrew member. Not the best pics unfortunately (camera broke and pics are made with phone).
Unfortunately the guard can't stand on its own so I am not able to display his rifle with the set (imbalance). Anyway, I am pleased with both



Edit: somehow some of the pics come up sideways...don't know how to solve this?? Sorry for that!

Unfortunately I am limited on space and my mannequin stands in front of a window, whilst not in direct sunlight I was worried about the Denison smock losing its colours so I have dressed my mannequin in ‘jungle greens’. He is representative of an officer of the Royal Engineers 1945

RAF Flight Sergeant Burma C.1945. He wears:
Private purchase cap
1945 dated Bush shirt
1945 Indian made KD shorts
1945 Mosquito boots

My collecting goals as a kid were “I need me a German helmet”
My collecting goals once I got a helmet “I need me a mannequin” haha

Well... I’m getting there. Still have some award loops to fill, and shoulderboards arrive next week. Going to build a lazy Susan so he can be spun around to display all the kit- gas mask, bread bag, etc. Trying to keep the theme and dates as early war.

His name is Fritz Nopants

I can play now. My Daughter got me a women's mannequin when they were remodeling the store she works at!!!
Here is my Aunt Annie's WAC-CBI-USAAF wool uniform. I just found the box with her shirts and skirts, so I can change it out to Cotton and Khaki British type jacket. I Will need to get the garrison /overseas caps for those. I only got the wool one when these were sent to me to care for them.

I have posted a couple of headless half mannequins but this is my first attempt at a full figure.

The uniform is 'm' 1970 marked. Everything else, where marked is 1968. The boots are ealy leather soled items and the brown leather belt is the early type with leather tongue stiched behind the buckle.

The badges are;

1. Leistungsabzeichen der NVA 1959 - 90
2. Klassifizierungsabzeichen I klasse fuer Bewaffneten Panzer 1963 - 85.
3. Militaersportabzeichen der NVA 1969 - 90.

The lanyard is;
Schutzenschnur fuer Turmbewaffneten Panzer 1986 - 90

The medal ribbons are;

5, 10, 15, 20 yrs Medaille fuer treue Dienste in der Nationalen Volksarmee.
Bronze and Silver grades of Verdienstmedaille der Nationalen Volksarmee.

The light here today is terrible and it is raining so I can't take pics outside. As a result these pics are not the best but I am quite pleased with the mannequin as a first attempt!

As usual all comments and opinions are most welcome.

Regards

Mark
