I am curious, I am planning a single DAK cammander figure. Don't know what's really out there in the way of resin or animatronic though?

Just thought this would be something to kick around and get some ideas.

Hi Jim,

You can go for Dragon "Horst Lerner" and put his head and gear on a version 2 Spearhead animatronic pre programmed body.

Kent, Horst is an excellent choice! I think I will get one - may have to save up for the animation though... I think I will probably go for just a lone commander figure....

Kent,

I did not order a Horst Lerner figure today, instead I ordered his uniform, boots and such from Monkey Depot - they had it all available as loose parts. I only save about $12.00. But, I have "spare" figures; so, it made sense and let me order a few other accessories.

So, pose-able figure or animatronic, I got it covered. Thanks again for the advise!

.....now maybe one of those sculpted heads......hmmm....

I intend a crew of five, so that I can have them lazing around and all over the tank if it is in static display. They'd be ready maps, smoking, having a cup and german rations. One will be reading a letter from home. And I can display a BMW or horse riding dispatch next to the tank.

I recommend :wink: ;

- resin heads with expression from Tony Barton http://www.sixtharmygroup.com/portal/vi ... 5ff42c4950 (if you can get him to paint them)

- Uniform from Battlegeartoys (non DAK)

- Boots and, belt, holsters from Newlineminiatures

- Body from Volks (that is if you can get them, but not animatronic)

Or Standard BBI, Dragon panzer crews
