In the James Bond movie, Diamonds are Forever, much of the action takes place in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. So naturally, you need show girls and what better girls to show than the Dark Alliance Modern Amazons? Since I am doing James Bond, I am trying to get at least some of the venues where he operated in the Sean Connery movies and some of the others. I already did the George Lazenby movie On Her Majesty's Secret Service, Piz Gloria mountain lair of Blofeld, at least as a backdrop, but mostly I did the girls and the henchmen.

I converted two of them as show girls to dance on stage with a third figure from a board game to act as the singer.

Clever use of the figs.

Showgirls?
I read an article about that movie years ago. The writer and director were two of the ugliest men I've ever seen. 😄👍

With a little paint work, the lady with a large knife could also pass for Leela, the warrior of the Sevateem, from the Dr Who series.

Grelber, I have not watched Dr Who in decades. I am not that enthusiastic about time travel and while I have watched a few seasons in the last century, I never got into it.

Thanks for reading and commenting all!

For a change, we have female warrior figures wearing heels that all wrong for Las Vegas!
