Hey there folks, I have a couple of new sculpts that are going in to be cast tomorrow but I thought I'd best let the fine gentlemen and rapscallions of LAF have a look before that happens. I hope you like them.

First is this little lady. I'm going to call her Betty Blockbuster.



And her trusty sidekick: Miss Violet

Below is a link to my blog. It's the place where I write uninteresting things about little toy soldiers. I do this because I refuse to grow up and behave like an adult.

Yes she does. But it was completely intentional. Her name just sort of says... Larger than life! ::)

Yes but I'd be happy to put the top figure into my Wild West Scientist force, just cut the hat down a little and put a groove in the centre :)
So many projects..... so little time.......

Well, I had to wait for a while to get these little ladies mouled and cast but the wait was worth it. They came out beautifully and I'mnot sure my crappy paint job does them justice. But... Here they are.






They're avaiable from: www.fiendishfabrications.com.au

Who sculpted them?

They have a Shadowforge style to them, but the closed mouth on Violet would be a case against that :)

I like them quite a bit myself, although I don't have many Victorian hussies in my collection.

The second one looks like Steve Saleh's work, if I had to guess.

Unless I'm mistaken Melnibonean does his own sculpting... and stunts, I believe.

You've really come along way from your first sculpts, that's great to see!
