I may have rushed this figure a bit - she was painted from start to finish in a couple of hours this evening. She looked pretty good to the naked eye, but under he harsh gaze of my camera, the paintwork looks a bit like an impressionist work - all blobs of colour! I contemplated redoing the skirt/dress in particular, but in the end I have left her as is - she probably wont get anything more than a supporting role in an occasional game, so she will do the way she is......
December here in a couple of hours, the official start of our summer!
Clearly the speed of her frenetic movements is causing the colours to dance in an impressionistic style…
ReplyDeleteHopefully she will distract the villains more than the heroes…😁
All the best. Aly
Thanks Aly.....it's usually the heroes who fall for the wrong girl though....
DeleteLovely looking lady!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michal
DeleteLeave her be. Dancing queen.
ReplyDeleteHappy summer.
From a New Englander watching the thermometer try to climb out of the Fahrenheit twenties.
Thanks Joe...even in our winter, we rarely get it very cold here...the odd early morning frost but it never snows. Wrap up warm!
DeleteShe looks fine to me Keith and the impressionistic look works well with her animated pose.
ReplyDeleteCheers Steve...she looks fine in real life too...maybe the x2 photo technique is the main culprit?
DeleteGreat brushwork on her, Keith. The makeup looks great - I'm always afraid of adding stuff to skin (like tattoos, etc.).
ReplyDeleteThanks Dean...I tried to do some tattoos on 20mm modern Brits for Iraq/Afghanistan a few years back, I wasn't very happy with the results but last them as they were.
Delete"left them"....bloody auto correct!
DeleteShe looks great Keith, even at twice her actual size.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lawrence - its quite a shock to see a figure you think is quite nicely painted in double or triple size and see all the dodgy parts!
DeleteVery nice indeed. Are you keeping all these women in separate boxes to the boys?
ReplyDeleteThanks JBM - I did suggest that but it caused an issue - its sexist apparently - I have to box them up based on collection/era/army - NOT gender! The RCW Bolsheviks and WWII Soviets were particularly adamant on this issue :)
DeleteBring on the dancing girls, lovely cast and a great paint job.
ReplyDeleteCheers

Cheers Stu - they are not bad for semi hard plastic, are they?
DeleteNice job! I’ll be interested in what kind of scenario would call for such a miniature. All the ones I can think of would require multiple dancing women in the red light district. 😀😀
ReplyDeleteYou obviously have a much more fertile imagination when it comes to gaming scenarios than I do Stew - I look forward to reading about these games in due course - will they involve Vikings and other hairy men with long shafted weapons?
DeleteI would probably buy her a drink 👍
ReplyDeleteThat's the way the Pulp heroes will get into trouble Matt.....!
DeleteGreat looking figure! Impressionistic is the way to go in my book and works really well on her!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks Iain....I think I may have unconsciously stolen the description from one of your recent comments actually!
DeleteAs someone who only managed to post once in November, I congratulate you for adding a final post to your November blogging :) Good looking figure and nicely rendered: now you've got a dancing girl when you need one...
ReplyDeleteThanks Ed.....one never knows when one might have need of a dancing girl....😜
