Looking for a 'Steampunk Tankgirl' mini...

[Red Orc]

Thanks for the piratical suggestions, V_lazy_dragon and Elprez... any and all suggestions gratefully received! I'm hoping to get the 'Rivets' fig next week and it would be good if I could track down a 'Whimsey' to go with by then. There are certainly a lot of great suggestions so far, but I'm holding out hope that I can find a 'perfect' one...

Freebooter Miniatures Dixie Dynamite

Yes.  Pith helmets are better than bowlers anyway.

[Red Orc]

Oooh, I really like the Micro Art mini - I've never even heard of them - or rather, I have, in this thread here, where you posted pics of the greens from 'Wolsung'. I'd forgotten about these - of course when I checked the site it was the guy with the fist that reminded me.

Despite the fact she's not wearing a bowler, a corset, a long skirt or got any goggles... I like! She does have the look of a posh English girl gone adventuring, which is what I'm after. My background on the big gun is that daddy taught her to shoot out in Africa or maybe India, and now she excercises those skills as a sky-pirate.

The Freebooter one arguably has more of the look of a Victorian Tank Girl, but it doesn't do it for me. It is Werner Klocke, isn't it? His minis tend to be a bit amply-bosomed for my taste, and usually a bit under-dressed for my gaming needs. One of my favourite ever minis is one of his however, 'Jolie the female scribe' (link) - excellent piece, and remarkably restrained for 'Klockenbooty'...

[Dewbakuk]

Werner Klocke's figures are instantly recognisable. It's the faces more than anything else.

[white knight]

The faces and the overdone cheesecake.

[Red Orc]

Urmm, by 'cheesecake' do you mean the very large breasts and rounded arses by any chance?

Unlike Dewbakuk, they're usually the first things I notice. But I agree that there is something recognisable about the faces. I just, y'know, recognise them after I've already recognised the escaping boobs.

[Steve F]

So often, it's a triangular face looking down at her own escaping boobs.

This doesn't really fit your description at all but she might work:

Cordelia looks more like a bloke in that photo

I'd say they're more heart shaped, but yeah.

I just, y'know, recognise them after I've already recognised the escaping boobs.

It's not that I don't notice the boobs, it's more that the face draws me first. Plus overly large breasts are hardly restricted to Klocke's work. And in this figure, probably my favourite, they'd be reasonable if not for the shape

Not exactly Your description, but a peek to the left shows my Avatar miniature, Reaper Chronoscope range


"escaping boobs"...
now that's an addition to my vocabulary 

[Red Orc]

@ former user: who said LAF wasn't educational? Glad we could add to your store of coloquial English.

'Sascha DuBois, Time-Chaser' - a very nice mini (link). I love the way Jennifer Haley's painted the coat, and in general I think the mini is superb.

@ Dewbakuk: Curly Ann is also a very fine mini; I did look at that one as a possibility along with some other Freebooter stuff, but in the end, too few clothes for my purposes (love the coat again though, and the long gun is awesome); it doesn't exactly say 'Whimsey' to me, more 'red hot action'. But, very nice for all that.

@ MrJ: thanks for the suggestion, she certainly has an aviatrix look about her. I think I saw her painted up as 'Hester' from 'Mortal Engines' once (though I could be mistaken about that). Unfortunately she just looks a little too modern for what I have in mind. I'll keep her on the radar for when I move into BoB-VBCW gaming though!

By the way, does anyone have any comaprison shots of any of these projected figs standing next to each other? Am I actually going to be able to use Privateer Warmachine minis next to Westwind, reaper Chronoscope next to Ironclad? Or are all my scales going to be miles off?

[Froggy the Great]

Chronoscope and Privateer work well together, can't speak for the others.  Ms. DuBois is a little slight in comparison, but not badly so.

[Major_Gilbear]

What about Katherine Vidoq by Enigma Miniatures? She has two pistols rather than one rifle, but that can easily be remedied with a quick hand/weapon swap. The main thing is that the rest of the model would be a perfect fit and works well with the PP scale and therefore the Khadoran Mechanic you already have.
