This custom 1/6 Scale Fallschirmjäger figure was created by the renowned figure artist, Hugo Hidalgo from CA. Not only is he most generously providing this figure for the raffle, he will also be attending the event as a participant.

This 1/6th Dragon Figure, customized by Fallschirmartz (Hugo), represents a FJR6 on 6 June 1944. Custom gear includes Splinter Helmet Cover, Splinter Bandoleer and Leather P38 Holster (all by fallschirmartz); LW Buckle (Battle Gear); with all other equipment from Dragon.

Here are some in-progress pictures of the figure Hugo is donating (Background and Stand not included). According to Hugo, it still needs a bit of detail work (!) but it is about 90% done. (We have to admit, this is one item we almost kept for ourselves...) © Hugo Hidalgo 2005

Several different German refreshments, i.e., Liquor.....Whatever looks interesting to us on a pending trip to Europe...
