My wife let me know about the pics of this young lady named Riddle in one of her cosplay outfits.
Now if I could only sculpt worth a damn... ;)
Ole Dave Stevens would be happy.
Enjoy

No pants to help deter those pesky aerodynamic issues? :-)

Rather a spiffy image the young lady presents, what? ;)
-
Where can I get a coat like that in a men's size? ;) lol
-
Where can i get a lady like to ;D ....euhh.......well....come and live with me 8)
-
That darn rocket blast just blows the pants off her every time! lol
-
the only explanation is that the blast from the rocket backpack is so hot that she needs cooling. Whoever strolls around clad in this fashion shouldn't mind indecent proposals.......

How come my wife doesn't introduce me to women like that.

Don't ask her, whatever else you do!!!! :D

I picked up the Rocketeer comics that were on sale on Comixology a while back, and found the inspiration for this costume. Turns out, there' s a bit in one of the issues where Cliff gets shot (while on a runaway train) and Betty uses the rocket to fly them both to safety. Of course, Betty seems to be perpetually underdressed, thus the stockings.

Bill,
I hadn't seen that before.
Thank you.
-
She has no pockets or pouches. Where does she keep her loose change?
-
Glad to see there are people who are more distracted than I. For whatever my faults I have so far never walked out the door without my jodhpur breeches on. Never left the ground without them either.

I just found another one;

On a similar note, I purchased this figure from Studio McVey because she's just just so cool:

I wasn't sure what to do with her, but then I got the ridiculous idea for a Russian rocketeer Pulp league (painting her as a blonde). That one's still only in the planning stage though. Trying to work on getting my initial two leagues set up first.

Very cool! A couple great finds. :-* :-*

Very nice find Tom! This was my 2009 contribution to the subject of scantily clad self propelled aviatrices:

England´s capital is in urgent need of a proper public transport system. London transport got its red AEC Routemaster doubledecker buses recently, but there is trouble coming along: The evil Reich has launched V1 flying bombs and other mean things against the city. The battle of Britain is raging and the public transport has to be protected to keep the city alive. Rocket scientists were developing the ultimate answer to the threat from above and finally produced the backpack for flying conductors to guard their bus or tube train.
Young women from all over the country volunteer for London´s new air service. They are chosen for light bodyweight and agility, equipped with the all new backpacklauncher and swimsuit-styled flying combinations for aerodynamic reasons. Armed with a powerful Lewis 2.0cal. repetition assault gun, they are destined to throw themselves against those flying bombs to gun them down before they reach their destinations. The girls become famous for brave and daring deeds. Nobody knows, who they really are, because they have adopted typical London Transport names, but it is rumoured that many of them are young nobles andit is said that even members of the Royal Family were taking flying lessons with those backpacks. The forces have already begun testflying them as well, yet with no good results, as the weight of a fully equipped soldier is too high. Meanwhile the men are collecting cigarette pictures of the young flying ladies...

Splendid stuff Michi.

awesome stuff - the aviatrix is super cool.

It occurs to me that there is no way I can call the Russian rocktreess anything other than Katyusha. :D
EDIT: OMG, I just discovered that no lesser person than Sergei Korolev was involved in a nearly person-sized Rocket-powered glider programme in the mid 30's. I am geeking out here at the Pulpy possibilities.

Indeed!

I think you've got a good idea!
