And she's done, apart from matt spray then brush-on satin varnish on the armour and other bits which should be slightly shiny.
I think she's come out really well. She certainly looks as though she's seen some hard campaigning, all the while maintaining her lovely pale complexion *lol*
These pics were taken before I gave her a coat of neat Klear, then a black wash over the non-flesh/hair areas and brown wash over the flesh and hair.
Sean's comment on my last post got me thinking. A few months back I was planning a SciFi merc unit "Barbera's Bunnies" and this figure would be great for Colonel Barbera. I must have been subconsciously thinking of that when I was doing the colour scheme for her as it's pretty close to the uniform colours for the Bunnies. It's just missing a bit of pink *grin*

I've also done a bit of work on these this evening - saddle cloths, horse shading washes and markings. I should be able to finish these quite quickly now that Helga is finished.
She's getting even better looking!
ReplyDeletelooking good, though I would not tangle with her!!

Looks great. I'm tempted to get one for myself now, along with the rest of the squad from Artizan. Would make a nice little skirmish crew for Flying Lead or similar.
ReplyDeleteShe's tough and pretty all at the same time. Give her some troops to lead!!
ReplyDeleteT'is a lovely figure!
ReplyDeleteNicely done. Great job
ReplyDeleteThe resemblance is uncanny, apart from the MP40 and the body armour...or is it just that you don't wear those to Club nights?
ReplyDelete@ Fran - I've heard of some fetishes in my time, but fancying a 28mm figure? Really? Really? ;)
ReplyDelete@ Ian - thanks! She is quite the tough cookie isn't she?
@ Dux and Anne - I'm tempted to buy some of the other Nacht Jaeger figures to give her some troops to lead. Just a shame there are only 5 other figures in the set. Mind you, some of them look as though they could be re-posed a bit to add variety.
@ Ray - 'tis indeed
@ Brummie - thanks!
@ Thomas - definitely uncanny, and yes, it is just a case that I don't wear those to club nights. Well, not to wargaming club nights ;)
Well done Tamsin. Great looking figure.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great paintjob there
ReplyDeleteThanks Rodger and PK! :)
ReplyDeleteWell done.
ReplyDeleteRegards
