In the interest of equal opportunity, here are five female operators working towards gender-balancing my ACWII collection.
Similar to the Russians from my previous post, all of these figures are from Spectre Miniatures.
I quite like the mix of both civilian and paramilitary gear on these figures as it allows them to fit in with a wide variation of settings.
I also appreciate the sculptor's effort to model these women on realistic forms and poses, as opposed to some of the fantastical spotty-faced-boy-in-the-basement stuff you often see in the market.
They are armed with a variety of weapons including a Glock holdout pistol, PP-2000 SMG, HK416 assault carbine, a Kriss Vector SMG and a Kel-Tec assault shotgun. Yup, definitely NOT damsels in distress.
There is at least one more pack of female operatives I'd like to add to these, but they'll have to wait as future reinforcements.
Next up: Some vehicles!

Nice painting Curt :)
ReplyDeleteCheers Tamsin.
DeleteVery nicely done Curt.
ReplyDeleteThank you Michael!
DeleteExcellent job on some really nice looking models.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yes, they are great little castings.
DeleteExcellent, not being a teenager I do love properly dressed ladies
ReplyDeleteAs do I, Martin, as do I.
DeleteExcellent additions to your project! These ladies certainly look like they could look for themselves.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nick!
DeleteLovely work in many ways Curt. However, for the true 'Murica effect you'll need at least one bikini clad buxom blond toting an AR-15!
ReplyDeleteI may have to succumb to a few of those to help with the 'in country' theme, when required.
DeleteFab job Curt. I love the sculpts of these figures just wish they were a smidge chunkier to fit in with other figures in my collection!
ReplyDeleteYeah, they're a bit slighter for sure. It's the weapons that make me a bit mental. I wish they were a bit bulkier, more like the stuff from Empress and Eureka. Thanks for the comment!
DeleteVery nice work.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lee!
DeleteNice realistic sculpts and as always, lovely painting!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Cheers Iain!
DeleteThese are great! Is it me, or is there something really grungy about them? I can almost imagine the brick dust on the boots and mud stains on the combat fatigues. I particularly love the one with the green jacket leaning forward with the automatic weapon. Chilling...and most definately not chillin'.
ReplyDeleteReally well done, Curt - and perfect for the next American Civil War. Crikey!
Thanks very much Sidney! Yes, she's one of my favourite figures as well. The lass exudes lethal capability.
DeleteNicely done Curt. Clear bases are really taking off for miniatures. I see more & more people using them.
ReplyDeleteThanks Terry. Yes, the clear bases definitely work well for skirmish type games and take the guesswork out of deciding what basing theme you want to sync with.
DeleteGreat looking ladies, very nice job!
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil!
DeleteThey look excellent. Very nice sculpts. Not a fan of any Boobarella type miniatures as well. cheers
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm not being priggish, 'Boobarella' stuff has its place, just not all the time. :) Thanks Brendan!
DeleteVery nice work on the ladies, Curt! I rather like the spectre miniatures so thanks for introducing me to them. Very fine work of sculpts and your brush did them well!
ReplyDeleteDelighted you like them Dave! Thanks for dropping in to say 'hey'.
