Love it. That ammo belt looks like a right hindrance in combat, though. I can see it getting caught in things and her tripping over it and such.

Where does the name come from? Cara Black is a tennis player from Zimbabwe.

Realistic skin tones, muted camouflage scheme, well thought out colours...excellent :).

Apart from the ridiculous ammo feed, I love the mini and the Warthog really goes well with your finished version.  Great work all round.

The weapon and ammo drum/feed etc are very silly- you'd never be able to carry it, much less fire it in any position other than prone - but she is still a gorgeous mini and the paintwork is outstanding.

Sorry, I'm not a Halo fan, so is the APC a conversion of the standard Warthog model, or is it available to buy? It would make a great Police tactical close-support vehicle.

Fantastic job on both models, Dwartist!

 :o

I've looked at the G.O.T. range several times but have never noticed that before. For some reason I've only been looking at the figures. Buffoon!   ::)

I certainly recognize the camo! It looks even better on Antenociti's site.

Cheers  :D

Love the figure!

I've been painting mine on and off (mostly off) since the beginning of the year.  If it comes out only half as good as yours, I'll be pleased!

I really like it.

Sure firing a gun that big with an ammo setup like that is totally unrealistic. The rule of cool does make it okay though, not to mention it's easy enough to say she was moving the gun to a new position and was forced to open fire. Or its some near future gun that allows for firing in rediculous ways.

Well, of course, the gun is over-size  :o and she is super-dudette :-* to be able to fire it off hand.  Logic is irrelevant, it's Science Fiction!   o_o

Oh wait,  :o that (along with oversized Fantasy melee weapons) what John the OFM rants about on TMP.   ;)   ;D 

Joking aside, very nice work on the figure.  I would be jealous if I had half the skill.

Gracias,

Excellent mini, and an excellent paint job! The Warthog isn't half bad either ;)
Kev White - I can't remember. Is that Hasslefree? She'd be perfect for my Salvage Boss for Star Mogul, so if you can confirm, that would be great. I love this site - just when you thought it was safe to surf the net again, somebody posts up a wonderful figure, and my resolve crumbles.
