Crooked Dice: Savage Schoolgirls
« on: 19 October 2013, 02:44:12 PM »
November will see our lone zombie hunter Misty joined by seven new classmates from that last bastion of hope against the zombie apocalypse - St Searle's Foundation for Young Women.

Beautifully sculpted by Neil Mckenzie, we have three feral Fourth formers including 'scweamer' Violent Elizabeth and four Sixth Formers, such as hockey captain Jackie and new girl Dorothy. These should be in store from 01 November and hopefully with me at Crisis.

Here are some previews of the masters.

The whole class


The Sixth Formers




The Fourth Formers




Jackie, Hockey Captain (that's a cricket glove on her shoulder BTW!)




Dorothy - a baseball bat wielding ace


Sixth Former Book Worm


Sixth Former Glamourpuss


Fourth Former Violent Elizabeth


Fourth Former with Catapult


Fourth Former with attitude

Is a 'former' the equivalent of grade?
6 former = 6 grader?
because those skirts are mighty short for 6 graders.... :o
nice selection of poses/weaponry though!
Jackie has an awesome pose.
Yearly painting challenges only show me how useless I am at painting...

Yeah for all the non-british people out there, these are a homage to a series of british movies called St Trinains from the 60s and the awful remake... ;D

6th formers were usually aged 16-18ish (the Sixth Form, unlike the five that preceded it, actually covered two years, divided into lower and upper sixth). The count began at secondary school, so First Formers (or "First Years" as we called them in my day) would be 11 or 12.

The numbering system changed in the 90s and is more like the American one now, I think.


"Dorothy - a baseball wielding ace" - a-ha, the penny just dropped. Took me a while. What a dunce.  lol

Brilliant.  :D

I've been waiting for these. Now all I need is a school minibus so I can run a school outing.  ;)

Although I'm not old enough to have been around for any of the original movies releases I did see them as a kid when on on bank holidays etc and remember them being fun.

I really like the look of these. :D

Interestingly, most schools still call them 6th Form, VI Form, etc, even though they are also called Years 12 and 13. 8)

Add 'Just William' into the inspiration too with a certain scweaming young lady, who hopefully doesn't throw up! ;)

EGAD!

George Cole is a long way from Minder...  :?

Love the figures and I one day they will be mine. The only one I'm unsure about is the baseball bat girl. The bat seems a bit wrong. I would have thought a cricket bat or maybe a tennis racquet would have been more in keeping with the theme.
Below is a link to my blog. It's the place where I write uninteresting things about little toy soldiers. I do this because I refuse to grow up and behave like an adult.
