Mabel - Despatch Rider

[Nap]

Hi Guys,

Thought I would post some dodgy pics of what left to live in the display cabinet recently

This is from PJB Miniatures , sculpted by Paul Blaber, I saw Jon Page's version at Figureworld so got myself one ..

Originally the goggles were on the helmet but I thought why not have them hanging around the neck !!!...resulting in reworking the helmet (based on an original version) and also resculpting the goggles) .....just to add a bit more interest I put the Eastern Command bulldog patches on each arm as well .

Really enjoyed the painting lets hope Paul adds more girls to his very reasonably priced range.

Nameplate from Nameit as always great service

Thanks for looking in and she will be at the BMSS Interbranch

Kev that's great stuff.
She does look like a tired but hard working lady,
She has to have lippy, but so glad you didn't put eyeshadow on her.
All the best for the interbranch

Cheers Cakey ,

No eyeshadow , I find that it contrasts too much with the red limply that you told me to get !!!!

Looking forward to the Interbranch ...if only to get away for a weekend .

Agree she does look a little tired ..but trying to look her best with lippy from beetroot juice !!

Just like yourself after a lengthy Ploughmans in the boozer eh?

A nice piece of conversion and painting.
She certainly looks like someone's in her bad books.

Cheers,
