Girls with guns 1/35

[dierk]

Due to a total lack of building mojo I decided to do a bit of figure painting instead. Bought on ebay, the two girls came without original packaging and due to the casting quality swinging from excellent to meh I have my doubts about their origin. I was initially quite chuffed with how they turned out - until I took the pics...let's just say the human eye is kinder than the digital camera. Still:

Number one should've had a gun in her right hand too, but the casting was really bad:















And the other one:













The skin was painted using the Life Color skin set, Vallejo everything else.

Looks like Lara crofts Bottom !






The second one I wondered why the boobs were so white then realized it is probably her bra ?. May look better with the white replaced with skin tone ? Or maybe I would just like it better without the bra.

I think that some of the photos you have the camera too close.

Should you require any further critique ... you only have to ask.

I think I am in love... when can I meet them? Great work on your girlfriends!

It's the lightest tone in the LC set - I was attempting to make 'em look like they don't usually get to see the sun - may revisit them and give them (tiny) bikini tan-lines

They sometimes hang out on ebay and certain disreputable modelling shops Andy They may also occasionally photobomb my other builds (mojo willing)

Looking good Dierk!

I knew Andy would be day dreaming after this! I think you have done a nice job despite the quality of the casting, I think I have seen these figures on Evil Bay from a Ukrainian seller.
Tending to agree with Kiwi though, the second figure could do with her under b@@bs painted a la natural.
The second figure is my favourite of the two, the first looks like she is telling you Dierk that no leaving the kitchen until our food is cooked hehehe
Enjoy the weekend mate and glad to see your mojo Bach! Hehehe

these came from a German seller - you just can't trust anyone these days, ey? The second one's my favourite too. Mojo's still on life-support though...

Cheers PJ! But, not that you would think so according to my browser history, I'm pretty good at that kind of gathering

Alway beating me to the punchline, leaves me laughing and trying to type(rofl)

[moramarth]

Definitely my kind of girls, I must have a couple of dozen similar - but they're all in 28mm scale, and have languished unpainted for years... 
I haven't got this one yet, but then I understand it's new:

Note there is also a less overdressed version...
