Post by: Doug ex-em4 on June 04, 2012, 07:54:51 AM

Saw this on TMP:

Regardless of your pro/anti monarchy stance, this would make a cracking "personality" figure with all sorts of game uses. I may have to try and find a suitable sculptor myself.... ;)

Preferably including the umbrella carrier.

Might be a fairly straightforward conversion from Hasslefree's Madge: just swap out the shotgun.

Gary Mitchells's "Space Vixens from Mars" range also includes a Liz2, intended for a Silver Jubilee-set scenario, but that would be harder to arm, I think.

Princess Anne is the girl HRH tank crewman should be easier to pull off and nothing quite says 'I own this manor' like a 120mm HESH round. Pity she looks so much like her older brother.

She'll cut an excellent figure as an zombie huntress. I love her outfit by the way. (not for myself mind you)

As a fan of the SMLE No1 Mk3 Enfield, I'd buy this one if anyone sculpted it:

I believe it's the late Queen Mother on the spotting scope while Princess Elizabeth II takes aim at Bisley.

Just the thing for "What if" scenarios in VBCW, WW2, or perhaps a Darkest Africa style hunting expedition somewhere in the Colonies!

Cheers,
Andy

I propose this as a new means of knighting captains of industry, the sword is so old fashioned after all. Just imagine if they had gone down this track whilst the Queen Mum was still alive.

I think that's an earlier Queen Mother in the picture, carlos: Mary of Teck, widow of George V.  She lived until 1953: did anyone ever call her the Queen Grandmother, I wonder?

Pfft! She's British (well sort of)... so it's "300 yards, 10 rounds rapid fire, carry on!" ... or at least it was with the SMLE and SLR, I'm not sure about these modern pop-guns.

I have always fancied Princess Anne,get all nostalgic when I see pics of her when she was younger.

Her Scandinavian heritage shows through certainly... she has the face of a Norse...

I'll get my coat...
