As seen in the first picture on Paul Darnell's Touching History blog:
http://www.touchinghistory.blogspot.com/

I remember seeing it before, but cannot remember who makes it.

Thanks.

Could that be the one from Eureka?

Is it Eureka ?

No, it is not Eureka's Miss Fondelwell, if it is her you are thinking of.

I am thinking it is a conversion. It looks Copplestonish to me. Is it Foundry's Jane with the bikini top off?

In fact it is not an eureka's miniature.

I think that she is some reaper miniature!

I didn't realize Paul Darnell was back in business. That's a jolly nice site. Well worth a browse (but no, I don't know who makes the bathing belle - although I agree the face is copplestone-ish... )

I'm 95% sure it's not a Reaper figure.

You're right -- looking at her now, she does look like a Copplestone figure.

However, the Eureka figure could be very easily converted. Simply cut down the metal bathtub edges (and more if necessary), put her into a wooden tub, then fill with clear resin with appropriately placed bubbles/ripples.

That looks like a conversion of the Wargames Illustrated magazine special offer Lady Godiva figure to me.

Phondelwell has a quite different pose:

Like warrenbruhn suggested, it's a conversion from Lady Godiva on horseback, a promo figure by Wargames Illustrated. There was also a clad version sculpted by Soapy of Gripping Beast fame.

Both seem to be still available at North Star (LINK).
However, for a bathing female I would definitely go with the one posted by Hammers.

There is also the "Bathtime For Bubbles" vignette from Crocodile games (although Bubbles is a bit elfy...):

Bubbles also available separately from her tub.

I can't see the pic you're refering to in the blog, but I think it may be this one:

If it's this one, it's from Andrea Miniatures and is discontinued.

More choices than I thought!

I've ordered the Eureka fig. I can convert it easily and I like her pose the best.

I received the Eureka girl yesterday. A marvelous sculpt! Nice that she is separate from the tub.

Problem is...she's quite tiny. Very tiny compared to "regular" 28mm figures.

Maybe she's just a small, thin woman or teenage girl, but her size is still not registering well with me.

Not sure if I'll use her in my game now.
