Perhaps the megaphone figure could represent her post war, as a grocery store manager?

I vote FOR the megaphone....makes a much more useful figure for Bolt Action.

Megaphone is a foolish invention of Hollywood. Give her bottle of vodka and balalaika  :D

By the way, you are using staging, studio photo. This is how Evdokia looked in real combat conditions in winter and summer:

Thanks for the feedback, guys! Appreciate it.

I have to admit that the creative process for this miniature was a bit different compared to most others that I have shown so far. For Yevdokiya I did not start by deciding it would be her that we'll try to impersonate, but I found a picture with almost exactly this pose that I really liked. I think it was more of a cosplayer pic of and not even a proper re-enactment picture. But as I said, I really liked the dynamic pose. So after I had asked the sculptor to get started on this particular pose, I started looking for a heroine. When I came across Yevdokiya, I thought that she fits the model quite nicely, but the result is, of course, not really historically accurate as the reference picture certainly was not. :)
