I love how almost every single post in this thread relates to the voluptousness (?) of these survivor women. I guess wargamers really are children at heart ;)
I wouldn't say any of them are worthy of fat joke, but are more accurate than most of the rail thin, or wasp shaped miniatures available for women.
Would love to see one with a gun though.
The white stuff is resin: I made myself a pair of armatures I then cast in order to have an easier basis to work on. I made also several simple heads (without eyes or certain details) for the same goal. :)Solid plan and well executed.

How long does it take you to sculpt one of these, start to finish?
I love these! when can I "get some" :D
I'll certainly be in the market too; those look like must-haves to me...
You can count me in as ordering a set if you do provide the optional gun hands.
Looking forward to seeing more of these. I would certainly want to be in when these are produced. These ladies could round out any survivor group. I would like to see the zombiefied too.
Well, if you ever do get to the point of providing these for others, I would definitely be in.

A little update:
(http://i43.tinypic.com/ehv10.jpg)
I realised that the tall one is way too tall so iīm going to have to cut the legs (where I marked with a fix) and glue the boot a bit higher. I hope it works ::)
You smartass !
These sculpts are obviously just an excuse to do extensive research on boobs :D
He he darling does the look right? let me see your boobs again please lol
They are still looking great. I think the fourth one may look best, but they all have some great qualities. :)I think these is also my favourite. And then the mulatto ;)
I don't think the tall one was too tall. A mix of sizes & shapes is a good thing. I have to mix companies to get a good mix now.Thatīs a good point! But I donīt know why, this mini looks just a little wrong to me :( (more in the reality than in photo perhaps). Therefore I will try to fix it, but I want her taller than the others though ;)
No distractions, I need "real" women to fight my zombies! ;D
No distractions, I need "real" women to fight my zombies! ;DYes sir! ;) ;) ;) I need it too, I just wanted to play a zombiesīgame this summer but wanted special zombies and survivors...And I havenīt yet played!! lol lol But itīs good you remind me that ;)
Really well sculpted, and theme is very fresh and original ! :-*
Man : Honey, watch out for that zed.lol lol lol That was funny! Seriously I was wondering how theyīll look like in a couple of years when
Woman : Oh...My...God... I can't believe she's wearing that. That is so 2010. I wouldn't want to be caught dead in that. Just look at...
Zed : mmmhhhh
:D
you... er... like a lot of junk in the trunk...
These are amazing and I am excited to see the final product.
What sort of price range do you think it will take to provide copies to those interested?
Awesome !Thanks! I wanted to do "normal" ::) people who are surprised by a zombie outbreak middle in the summer season (hence the clothing ;)) and have to use totally improvised weapons. Iīm glad you like it that way :)
real women and genuine bashing stuff, not the usual shotguns, assault and sniper rifles. ;D
Might I suggest handbags. And before you belittle that idea, do not underestimate a fully loaded handbag lol.
Another option that would match the clothing would be a giant... ribbled ... uh... never mind.
Thatīs very funny because I posted the photos in a spanish forum too, and then this kind of comments were only about breasts, nobody said anything about bottoms...I find this difference in perception very interesting in a cultural way ;) lol
lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol
i was thinking exactly the same thing!!!! lol
The price seems fair to mePerfect!
Did you have any plans for hands with guns?Yes, I didnīt forget it, and I began already with the first gun :) I hope itīll be ready in a couple of weeks, when I finish these first 5 survivors ;)
And about the other weapon you suggest lol...Do you think it is capable to destroy a zombie? ;) ;)
It could... eventually... :D
I donīt have minis from these manufacters but Iīm afraid mine are a little bigger since they are 28mm from feet to eyes...that was my mistake since I though all 28mm minis were like that, and I didnīt have at home any other 28mm minis to compare untill a month ago ::)
And indeed that's the standard. Even though most "big" companies have gone down the scale creep route, many "boutique" companies stay true to the 28mm-to-eyeline scale. Such as HF, for example, who offers some of the best survivors and zombies out there.Then I hope they are compatible :) I donīt know why but I though HF were littler (but I never saw them in the flesh)
I am really looking forward to getting these when they become availlable. :o
Wow! the resin piece is simply great!Thanks! The problem is the mold line (you canīt see it in the picture because they are on the flanks): sometimes it is to big and then itīs difficult to eliminate (and sometimes a bit of the detail on that part get lost because of it). But Iīm thinking about doing new molds with a hole for pouring and several air exits :)
Of course you will need a big mould, to avoid deformations during pressing!I didnīt think about it! Thatīs a very good point!
mmm to avoid the "hollowness" you should wait a bit more before pressing, and pressing stronger!I donīt wait very long now because I discovered that mold lines are littler that way...Then the problem is that the whole resin goes out of the mold if you press lol
The one with the shovel was in line in front of me at WalMart the other day. :olol That encourages me: I wanted to do people you can see on the street (or at the mart :P)
Smokin! Quit teasing us and sell some...please :)With suga on top :-*If only I could! In fact I wanted to be seling already, but I had problems with the molds: these copies look good but only after a lot of work of cleaning, and a bit of repair with putty (f*cking mold line! >:(). I have to improve my mold technic so I can make better castings. The good think is that Iīm already working on it :)
These are fantastic, "The women of Wal-mart" lol
My cravings for these grows even more having seen them in colour. Thanks for the update, and perfect that mold technique!
Waiting, waiting, waiting. :o :o :oThanks for the comments :) :)
Forgive our impatience ,you know its torture.Good things come to those who wait.........I know, I want also to have it already done ;) :) I realize now that I was too enthusiastic and optimistic with the whole thing in terms of time lol
I was wondering what had happened with this project. Keep us informed and best wishes for your move.
Jany interest in selling 'failed' castings? ;D
They should be back again relatively soon but I donīt know when exactly...Iīll inform you, donīt worry :)
Please keep us informed. I will willingly pay and rip them off your hands!This! :D
I've got a couple of mine mostly painted up. Still working on the others.
Thanks you all!
Great! Iīm really looking forward to see them!! :)
Iīd like to paint them too. Urgently. Now. PLEEEEEEEASE!
Make sure you cast up a set for me!
;) I sent the masters yesterday, so I guess you can get the minis some time after Christmas :)
Here's my versions. I intend to redo the far right girls legs as I am not satisfied, but thought I would share them anyway.Wow! :o I like very much how they turned out! Great job! :-* The hispanic skin tone looks very realistic, by the way :)
I just checked the calendar, christmas is past (...)lol Hmm, the three Magi havenīt still come to my house so for me itīs still Christmas ::) ;) We didnīt get any presents here and since thatīs the spirit of Christmas, it lasts a while longer around here... lol
Nancy Grace, she is a television 'news' show person who I find to be quite an annoying pain.lol Ok, now I understand. So I guess in your games sheīll hold up the zombies so the rest of survivors can get away ;)
lol Ok, now I understand. So I guess in your games sheīll be pushed to the zombies by another survivor so the rest of survivors can get away ;)
Ok, write me up for a full set as well; I've loved this project from the very start!
No rush; let's iron things out when you get back from the sunny end of Europe... ;)
Something like that. lollol I like it lol
Any developments on these? :D
Well, the first copies were sent to me today :) I guess, theyīll be here at the end of the week so I can start shipping already next week :)
My current project is almost done :)
I think I can beginn with your commission in 1-2 weeks, by the way ;) My current project is almost done :)
Are you guys also interested in the zombie version of the survivors? I could make when Iīm done with the other things :)
I expect a premium order option for those who bought the survivors!
What do you mean more precisely? (Really, I donīt know what that exactly means :()
Premium order option: Those who buy the survivors will be the first to get the zombies when available!No problem! ;) :)
I have a question for you guys: what would you like more, a pack of 6 generic zombies, or rather 8?
(30 EUR for 8 minis)
Even the chunky one is all kinds of pretty. Outstanding.
Snitchy sends.
:o :o :o
You did such a great job!! I like it a lot! :-* :-* :-*
I feel really honored Michi :)
Are these still available for sale? :-* Sorry if I missed this earlier I didn't read all 14 pages.
Blame me, I think I picked up the last of the current batch.
Blame me, I think I picked up the last of the current batch.:D I have sent you the minis right now ;)
PM Sent. Thanks.Answered! :)
torn clothing
he recommended me to use a hair-dryer to soften the resin a bit so the arm can be pushed down a bit.
Michi, what are you casting?
I still have a couple of things that I could however sell with the current shipping, only until friday:
-One complete set (22 Euro)
Complete set for me please! :D
Great container Michi! Are you selling them?
Hello people!
After my adventure in the Czech Republic I have to go back to Spain and I donīt know what is going to happen with Clearco Miniatures (Shipping is what concerns me most :?).

Cheers!
Whoa! :(
I hope things'll work out for you!
Good luck with coming home and continuing from where you went off!
PM sent! 8)
Once those metabolically challenged ladies become available, I'm up for a set of course... :DWhen the final improved version starts being produced Iīll ask who wants to reserve a set ;)
metabolically challenged ladieslol lol lol lol
Top job Michi! How do they look against Hasslefree and EM4, etc. once based?
This should serve us all as a warning: If the zombie apocalypse is upon us, change profession to prostitution.
Honestly I donīt see them as such. These are simply women from the block who grabbed what they could to arm themselves.
I'll be stopping in Wal-Mart in about an hour; I'll tell you how many women I see that look like that.
Hint: There will be a lot.
This should serve us all as a warning: If the zombie apocalypse is upon us, change profession to prostitution. Chances are, you'll survive.
LMAO
If you want, I can reserve a set for you, and Iīd inform you when I receive them :)
Juan,
Did you eve get round to making those Spanish modern infantry you were talking about?
Hi Jonathan!
Not yet sorry :( I got stuck... I want to, however :)
Sadly I donīt know when they would be ready...better not to hold the breath :?
Booo! The public opinion awaits in expectancy :D
But for the moment I most probably get some of the new Z's ;)
Hey the dark haired women looks like my wife Laugh Laugh Laugh
Lucky for you she doesn't look like the ginger haired lass following.
Hi you all!
It tooked very long but I already received the test casting of the survivors and zombies in metal:

More here: http://clearcominiatures.blogspot.cz/2014/02/back-on-track.html
:)
I think everyone who has dealt with you knows you to be both reliable and a nice person to deal with. Good luck with it all.
Wow ;D
And...do you guys like The Wire?
Great start on a nwe mini.Thanks!
_The Wire_? You mean the BEST tv series ever?
Like it? Nah. Love it? Yes!
Looks interesting Spanish army perhaps?
... as I promised to Suber loooooong time ago ;)
So how do we buy them again?You can drop me a line at clearcominiatures at gmail dot com if you want to order some ;-) It could take a while until these new minis are ready to sell however.
Looking great. :-*Thank you a lot!
Can we get some in nude...Iīm planning to do a set of naked women since I got this question asked so often ;) Iīll post them here when I finish them :)
I have to finish 5 heads more yet.
:)
I wouldn't put too much effort into zombie heads, some rude survivor is just gonna bash them in with a bat or blow them off with a shotgun anyway.
;D
Those zombies look great! So characterful and unique, I really like your 'thick' style. Interesting how you use greenstuff for hands and some joints. Why is that?Thank you a lot, mate! :-)
I really have to commend you on the progress you've made with your sculpting.
Excellent!lol More female are coming, donīt you worry ;)
Although they are a little too... male... :D
interesting fotobackground btw. Never thought about a snow shovel for that job, good idea!
What do you prefer, 28mm or rather a bit bigger (maybe 30mm to the eyes)?
I prefer them to be 28mm, but hey - I take any I can get! I can't wait to have them on my painting desk...Really looking forward to your paintjob on them, Michi! :)
Really looking forward to your paintjob on them, Michi! :)
Besides I have got a few castings, in case someone is interested.
I would be ;)
Hi!
It has taken me long but here is the new generation of my survivors. Better (and individual) photos will come, I promise, but I wanted to show them already ;) !
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-33nc_hlfEwI/YKOCZUvmQMI/AAAAAAAAB9s/jbDBbfXnidUrmL1Vo6ZI0TB-q7Juk8L8QCLcBGAsYHQ/s1935/Supervivientes.jpg)
I hope you like them!
Btw, I'm toying with the idea of making a new version of some of the older ones, given that I can sculpt a bit better after all these years...What do you think?
Love em! The lass with the hammer looks a bit like Lizzo. You should do a variant with a flute.
The first castings of the figures will be available soon :)
I have the castings!

If you want some, please drop me a line
Here is the line::D :D :D
I want them all, I want them all, I NEED THEM ALL and I want them now! :-*
Will these be available at Badger Games?I don't think so, sorry :?
I'd love to get a set of these and the Female adventurer .Just write me a PM or an E-Mail and we can arrange that :)
