Did this quite some time ago and only decided to paint her today. Totally unsure how to do the base if anybody would like to chip in some ideas.

You mean you sculpted her? Very nice! Paintjob's a bit of alright too.  8)

I think a wooden base, as she looks like she wouldn't be far from the end of the bar to me.

It's a conversion of one of Eureka's four flappers isn't it?

Nice painting and conversion. 8)

That was a bloody quick reply, I still had the page open from posting.

No I didnt sculpt her, its a Eureka body with a BlackHat (MM as was then) head and some greenstuff.

I agree, a very nice conversion. I am very fond of those Eureka flappers and it is nice to see someone taking them even further.

I like the work you did on this one, Svenn. She wouldn't be out of place in my Shanghai setting. She also looks like she'd fit in somewhere in Spain or Latin America. Not a bad multi-use figure at all.

I agree with Mal and Bob - I think a wooden base would suit her well.

Now that would be a great idea, with an detailed interior,

with svenns modelling skills it would be awesome especially if he did a couple more girlies with a few heavies too a scene right out of he generals envoy  :-*

cool beans that would be  :D

Unlike you lot where straw & floorboards obviously prevail this lady hangs around much classier joints. With carpet!!
