One Last Post for November - Reaper Bones Dancing Girl

 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!

  1. Clearly the speed of her frenetic movements is causing the colours to dance in an impressionistic style…
    Hopefully she will distract the villains more than the heroes…😁

    All the best. Aly

    1. 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!

  3. She looks fine to me Keith and the impressionistic look works well with her animated pose.

    1. Cheers Steve...she looks fine in real life too...maybe the x2 photo technique is the main culprit?

  4. Great brushwork on her, Keith. The makeup looks great - I'm always afraid of adding stuff to skin (like tattoos, etc.).

    1. Thanks 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.

  5. She looks great Keith, even at twice her actual size.

    1. Thanks 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!

  6. Very nice indeed. Are you keeping all these women in separate boxes to the boys?

    1. Thanks 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 :)

    1. Cheers Stu - they are not bad for semi hard plastic, are they?

  8. Nice 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. 😀😀

    1. You 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?

  9. I would probably buy her a drink 👍

  10. Great looking figure! Impressionistic is the way to go in my book and works really well on her!

    1. Thanks Iain....I think I may have unconsciously stolen the description from one of your recent comments actually!
