Nice. Along with the other figure these make a nice selection. Not quite sure, however, that the 'firing from the hip' pose would be of use for someone trained in the use of firearms.  ;)

I thought it was some kind of a helmet!

However I would like to have some alternative heads incl. berets like the greek policewomen.

Still looking good, just a couple of points. The Plonk firing from the hip is just wrong, she would lose her classification straight away if that was seen by an instructor. Also the Plonk's hats are not quite there. The hat is a little taller than that, although the brim looks about right. The photo that elprez posted gives a good idea of what the hat should look like. Plonks don't wear berets in the UK on operational duty.

Are all the police women in UK as cute as the one on the Elprez's picture?

I like them although I agree with the pose issue on the last WPC. I claim no knowledge about 'not firing from the hip' etc however on a purely aesthetic level it doesn't work. Due to the size of the weapon (and I understand why it's that size) the right arm is thrown out too much in order to hold it in that pose, it just looks unnatural.
So many projects..... so little time.......
