I really like these.  :)

Nice to see some realistic female figures for the old west.

Looking forward to picking up a set.
Ray.

Great photo and very nice paintwork on the figures. I like the miniatures as well, who makes them?

AND they look sexier than all those "Eryn the Sword-Priestess" figures in mail bikinis.

Those are both very nice sculpts and very nice paint jobs.  Truly. 

But realistic? 

Not on your life, no way, no how and just what have you been drinking!?  :o 

The ladies of the west, for quite some time, were, shall we say, decidedly homely in the appearance category.  And quite often more than well fed.  These gals are much too thin and not a one that would scare a pigeon just by smiling at it.

Apologies, obviously my command of the English language has failed me.  ;)

What I meant was that for a range of figures which are based on the cinematic version of the west it's nice to see figures that aren't over the top in the 'breast and thigh' stakes. Obviously I will go away now and add some extra greenstuff to all my 28mm female figures.  ;)

I agree, that's exactly what I thought first time seeing them, they look like normal girls :)

The one in the middle looks like the old lady from Mad Max and the one to the right of her looks very much like Doctor Quinn.

Actually, I suspect that being a prodigiously buxom lass in the era might have lead rather directly to soiled reputations and employment as doves.  So this might actually be one place where the curvy girl is appropriate, but in a Rubenesque way, mind you.   8)

Very nice set of female western characters; already noted on my to-buy list ...

Who is the sculptor?
