Mystery of the Dragon Bones-The Dragon's "Teeth"


The Mon Cheri's teeth-a MG 08/15 LMG. Firepower enough to clear the decks of unwanted visitors.



HMG number one covers the main accesses to the Dragon Lady's Lab and Paddock.











HMG number two covers the barn and river crossing.




The two Lewis Gun LMG's and 37mm cannon cover the entire compound of the Dragon Lady. All this firepower allows Madam Chang to sleep well with the knowledge that her "teeth" are sharp and deadly.




Post number five of the Mystery of the Dragon Bones Adventure.

Mystery of the Dragon Bones-The Dragon's Lair



The Mon Cheri stands ready to take the Dragon Lady and her secrets where she wishes. In her two story lab are the plans for the "Dragon Bones" that so many nations desire.



French Marines guard the most important areas of the Dragon Lady's Lair. One stands watch over the barracks where two Lewis Guns and a 37mm cannon have been statically placed.




By the barn is a large paddock with heavy iron bars for gates, what secret of the Dragon Lady does it hold?




This is post number four of the Mystery of the Dragon Bones Adventure. The metal pieces are from Renegade and Pulp Figures. I scratch built the houses, docks, river, hedges and stone walls.

More Problems with Pirates-Give Them Hot Lead



Trouble with pirates? The MG 08/15 light machine gun will send them the right message: "Drop Dead!"



Pulp Figures made this metal LMG.

"Present your Firelocks!"


"At the command-ready your firelocks-present your firelocks-fire!" These words would send a wall of lead flying into the foe.


By the 17th Century the musket had developed into a key weapon on the battlefield. It was not yet the master of war that later improvements, including the bayonet, would make it into, but it was still deadly.

This detachment of musketeers was indicative of the thousands of such warriors that fought in the English Civil War.



These are more metal 25mm miniatures cast in the 1970's by Minifigs and Hinchcliffe.
