Figure check please!

[FramFramson]

Hello folks,

Can anyone help me identify the yellow-haired mini in this pic?



Bonus points if anyone can actually identify the crossbowman behind the smoked glass. I certainly don't expect it, but I wouldn't mind knowing.

Please & thanks.

That looks like it might well be Froggie's work, and he's a regular contributor to LAF, so odds are he'll be along in good time to answer your question with first-hand knowledge!

It is in fact Froggie's work, if the Froggie in question normally goes by "FroggieTheGreat".

Yep, the one at the front is a conversion I believe but they are both Reaper figs. Froggy would be able to tell you which ones. Drop him a PM if he doesn't chime in soon.

The smoked mirror is a really great idea! Perfect for fantasy or retro sci-fi games!

Oh my.

Yes, this is my work, and I'm quite flattered by the discussion.  Thank you!
Just out of curiousity - where was the image you found originally posted?

To answer your questions:
The mirror is made from a pair of clip-on sunglasses, some nails, and the spindle off the paper towel dispensers at work.

In the front is Reaper's Caerwynn, found here:  http://www.reapermini.com/FigureFinder#detail/14116
More detail about what I did, and a hopefully better pic is here:  http://spielorjh.deviantart.com/art/Kaerwynn-Elenlhaw-Eledhrim-63357939


The figure in back is a Vale Archer from Reaper, found here:  http://www.reapermini.com/FigureFinder#detail/14357

Most of these pics were taken two cameras ago, so you have my apologies for their low quality.

Thanks for the info Froggy. I spotted the image over on Terragenesis.

The one in front caught my eye because I've been looking for a very particular figure for a conversion of an old Mage Knight dial, A barbarian Amazon that's been given over to another faction, and which has been trained and educated. I don't have the original figure itself (which wasn't very good anyway) and must find a nice replacement.

Basically, I'm trying to find a sort of melee huntress or tracker type figure which is of a pretty high sculpt quality (good quality sculpts is how I try to compensate for poor paint skills ). The gear is the worst. It needs to be rough and primitive, but not too primitive, so as to show both aspects.

There's some figures that would have done, but I haven't found anything yet that fits just right (or at least comes close enough). There are a number of archers I've seen that might do, but they are not in melee stance and would require conversion - rather like your job.

Probably the best two I've seen are Wyrd Miniatures Viktoria Swordmistress or Hell Dorado's Helle Moeller, but neither quite fit. I am probably just being monstrously picky!
