No goggles, but at least she is (almost) decently covered ;)

I think I'm in love. She is a BEAUTY; i.e., dynamically posed & nicely detailed. GREAT WORK!

Is this Seb Archer's work?

Stunning, either way.

Indeed sculpted by Sebastian W W Archer, according to the GH site.
But then, AUD$19.95 + shipping for a resin 32mm mini... are they not abusing of the 'limited edition' trick?

Beautiful artwork, lovely pose and detail!  :-*

That's quite nice, the arms seem a little odd, possibly just a little thin for the length. She does have goggles though, pushed to the top of her head, not on the hat for once  :D
So many projects..... so little time.......

One of the select few Steampunk female figures that conveys a Victorian sense.  Far too many rely overly on the "punk" aspect.

Given the obvious creases I doubt they are stockings, she looks too elegant: close-fitting trousers hussar-fashion?

Look at the face on view, you can clearly see the suspenders and stocking tops.

Nope - they are really intended for competition painters and collectors. Metal editions will follow the resin run, and are usually half the price.  8)

They are definitely stockings! ;)

Badly kept, then. Even in full action such neglect is a shame :D

Is this available in metal yet for a lower price?

Very, very nicely sculpted but I don't really like the figure. The pose is overly dynamic for my tastes.
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.

Despite my known viewpoints I rather like the figure.

Too cheap to buy it at that price.

It wouldn't really fit in with my other VSF.

Some minor points correctly critiqued.

Still, especially if you are into Steampunk, quite nice.

Very nice find abdul666lw.

Edit for spelling.

Gracias,
