I wish this thread had a warning, I opened it at dinner time at work, luckily I was alone, but Im now worried about the IT guys trawling through history...

Nice painting however.

Hey, just one more time is there any chance of getting some scale comparison photos, being unsure of scale is really the only thing holding me back from ordering these. And on that note who has the best 28mm John Carter?

Thanks for posting the comparison. I'm going to be ordering mine here in a few days, so thanks for the post.
One thing I've always had in the back of my mind is the size comparisons themselves. Often I have miniatures of true 25's interspersed with heroic 28's. I get some questions about mixing the two, but I see it as this: WE are not all the same size, so why should my miniatures be?
Just sayin'.....

Great comparison pic.
I think I was at that party!

Born from eggs but suckled and raised in the traditional fashion is the only way to explain all those beautiful "well endowed"..... book covers.

Truly inspiring painting.  The blending on the gals skintones is excellent.  Especially the , ahem, areolae.

Great figures, nice sculpts and an awesome paint job.  I just ordered some based on this thread.

-BUT-

Showin' just a little too much Grundle.  Coulda done without that.   Luckily the ones on the site have something on.  To quote "Den" from the movie "Heavy Metal":

"There was no way I was gonna go around with my Dork hangin' out."

Somehow I think a Captain from Virginia circa the 1800s would say somethin' along those lines too.

The angle of the pics reminds me of 80's Heavy Metal clps...

The lack of hairiness/shaveing aspect has been mentioned but I'd also like to bring to light the lack of safety razors at thet time. Applying a straight razor to that region......

Applying a straight razor to that region......

...takes the skills of a real man.

Excellent stuff!  Can't believe I missed this last year.  Did someone mention Heavy Metal?  I guess now would be a good time to bang your head to Battleroar's Warlord of Mars!
