1965 Aurora Great Moments in Sport DEMPSEY vs FIRPO

Like many others, when I was a kid, I made a lot of models- planes, tanks, monsters and two Great Moments in Sports; Johnny Unitas and Jack Dempsey versus Luis Firpo. When I was just a little older, I blew them all up with firecrackers.

Last year, I thought those Great Moments would make nice display pieces. Too bad they were gone, but they were painted and glued like a 13 year old would. Found one on eBay for a good price because the box was open and faded from the sun. It appeared to have all the pieces. So, I took a chance.

I'm still not a great artist, but it was fun. I thought the colors needed to be spiced up a little. My original attempt followed the box and used black and white trunks. Instead of a white shirt on the referee, I went with a blue one similar to one issued by the Missouri Boxing Commision. There is supposed to be a sign on the right front of the ring. What a mess I made of painting it! Still a work in progress or maybe I'm done.

I love some of these as pieces to compliment a memorabilia display.
They are often cheap (well a lot cheaper than some of the fight memorabilia), and look great.
Here are a few of mine.

1970's Ali action figure:


1978 Dunhill Fragrances "The Boxer" figurine


1973 Jim Beam Rocky Marciano decanter:




1985 Barry Michael port (released when Michael won the IBF title):

These are great, Mr. Digest! I don't believe that I've seen the Dunhill and Barry Michael Port before. Thanks for sharing!

I forgot who these wrestling chicks are, but evidently they dig the long ball. The Babe looks like he had a rough post game celebration last night.

I like what you did with the wrestling girls and the baseballers

I set this up during Christmas using our elf on the shelf and the Rocky figures.
