Lt. Kara Black

[supervike]

Yep, Kev White is the Hasslefree guy, but he sculpted this for McVey studios.

She might be a bit big to fit in nicely with Star Mogul....I'm thinking she is a 35mm figure.

[Gluteus Maximus]

Yeah its made of advanced super light and super durable alloys complete with next gen recoil compensators

Well, your completely plausible scientific explanation has me convinced!

Super-light alloys, recoil wotsits and gyro-stabilisation it is, then 

When I get around to buying one, I'll just paint her with black hair and dark skin and call her "Vasquez" 

[Hawkeye]

Ah, that's a shame, Supervike - lovely mini! And the rule of cool rules, of course...

[commissarmoody]

I'll just paint her with black hair and dark skin and call her "Vasquez" 

Hell yeah Boy! 

[Steve F]

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

A mix of Kara "Starbuck" Thrace (Battlestar Galactica character) and Claudia Black (Farscape, Pitch Black and Stargate SG1 actress) perhaps?

Or "K Black" because the sculptor is "K White"?

[Gluteus Maximus]

..... and Claudia Black (Farscape......

Ah yes, now that's a mini I'd love to see in production...



 

[Plynkes]

I keep hearing her voice on video games. Is that all she does these days?

[Viper]

Yeah for the last 3 years or so (according to imdb), she's been doing pretty much only VA work for games, with the odd one off appearance in a couple of TV shows. Between Farscape and Stargate she was working for nearly 10 years straight on just those 2 shows so maybe she felt she needed a break
 

It's been quite some time since I've looked at the McVey site, this may cost me a few quid. The mini of the sorceress half way through summoning the big demon thing is utterly stunning, and I'm quit taken by the old cyber/future hoverboard chick too. And the ranger girl with the hawk.
 

[Commander Vyper]

Nice mini, just hope/wish that Kev does a version in 'proper' scale as my colonial marines are itching for some support like her! 

[mweaver]

Hasslefree is Kev White's own company; as dwartist noted, Studio McVey is producing this minature.

I have looked at her a few times - really nice mini, but like others I find the gun rather silly.  Combined with a hefty price tag, that element has kept me from purchasing her.  If she were cheaper, or had a better-proportioned weapon, I would almost certainly have picked her up.  You did such an excellent job painting her, though, that I am tempted all over again.

[Gluteus Maximus]

  .......If she were cheaper, or had a better-proportioned weapon, I would almost certainly have picked her up. 

It's sentences like this that make Mrs Maximus very suspicious of my on-line activities 


  

I agree 100%, though. It's a shame Kev hasn't done a more "realistic" version of her to fit in with his other sci-fi adventurers range, as she is otherwise fantastic and would make a great mercenary or salvage crew personality figure.
