Title: Looking for Weird WWII American or British female figure
Post by: audrey on December 29, 2008, 04:52:28 PM
Like usual, I am calling on the vast knowledge of LAF members to see if you can help me find a figure. I am looking for a female miniature that would fit as American or British and dressed ready for a combat mission. So far the only one that really fits is Warm Acre: Rachael Knight

West Wind SOTR: Nika may work if I remove the emblem on her beret.

I considered these two Artizan figures but they do not seem "military" enough.

Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance.

From context it sounds like you want a female Commando-type figure.

I don't know if they will suit, but you might want to take a look at the Pulp Figures range:

PHP12 (bottom row):
http://www.pulpfigures.com/catcode.php?range=Personalities&code=PHP&number=12&custID=127542981230575737

PHP13 (top row w/ grenades)
http://www.pulpfigures.com/catcode.php?range=Personalities&code=PHP&number=13&custID=127542981230575737

PHP4 (perhaps Mrs. Hobs or Lady Jane?):
http://www.pulpfigures.com/catcode.php?range=Personalities&code=PHP&number=4&custID=127542981230575737

The Weird Menace She-Wolves pack might also be of use, although of course they would require some conversion to remove inappropriate details (sacrilegious to suggest using them as British or Americans, I know but still...). Link not included for obvious reasons... ;)

Hi Audrey,

I just did one wearing American trousers, leggings, '41 Field Jacket, web belt, satchel, canteen and .45. I have castings of her by now if you are interested. She has two alternate hands with either a canteen or a angle flashlight. She has a pony tail hanging down back beneath a garrison cap.

Hi Scott,

Your female figurine is lovely. What are your plans for such a figure an are you planning to release more for WW2 etc.?

Hi and thank you,

I saw Audries post and hoped it might be useful. Eventually I would like to test interest at my friend's webstore (Matt B at Hydra Miniatures). But I am terribly slow to doing it. I have done a German Tank Girl also so far.

Yes, but not great photos.

She is meant to be a villain in my pulp and WWW2 games. She is a Tiger driver. I kept her legs close so she will hopefully fit in the cupola of one of my 1/48 Tigers. I'll need to convert a radio headset in the future.

That is a very nice sculpt Scott. She would be perfect. The reason I am looking for the figure is for some convention games I am running at Cold Wars. I'll send you a PM about the figure. Thanks a bunch. I look forward to seeing more of your sculpts.

In the back of this squad from Eureka there is a woman in uniform - looks to be a reporter, but with weapon swaps might do.
