wkennerley Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 (edited) Hi GB moderators - I have just acquired the figure below in Vietnam era clothing, kind of a "Vietnam Pin-up" figure - May I please enter this into the GB. If necessary I will post pics of WIP with a flag or such over certain areas. Many thanks Wayne Edited April 8, 2011 by wkennerley
smuts Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 Hi wayne, as long as the others in the GB or GB Mod has no problems with the pin up its fine with me. Andy
AnonymousDFB1 Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 Personally I don't have a problem with it, it's no worse than you can see on page 3. I would suggest getting Mike's okay.
dylan the rabbit Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 (edited) Leave the flag out. Titmodeller... Edited January 15, 2011 by dylan the rabbit
Mike Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 Heh... i think that maybe when you get some paint on her you might want to cover up her funbags, as there are a few really quite young modellers on the site Leave the flag out. Titmodeller... Yeah - always has been, but don't be nasty about the membership!
Sid de Koning Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Please cover the gun for the young modellers... Sid
Speckled Jim Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Think it would have been fine to leave her uncovered, I mean as its been pointed out there's worse in a Daily Star or even the Sun which I am sure a 10 year old could go in and buy, but hey ho, its up to the admins.
wkennerley Posted January 16, 2011 Author Posted January 16, 2011 Thanks all, as mentioned before I am happy to cover the fun bags - Progress will be posted as soon as the figure has been delivered Wayne
worm Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 I think she needs a sling...........................on the M16. http://www.dandbmilitaria.com/m16-sling--4199-p.asp http://www.rollanet.org/~stacyw/us_m16_sling.htm
sinnerboy Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 (edited) Heh... i think that maybe when you get some paint on her you might want to cover up her funbags, spoilsport....rick from the popular peoples liberation of funbags front Edited January 17, 2011 by sinnerboy
worm Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Could always paint flowers on them, Vietnam Hippy Chick.
Giorgio N Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 I'd have left her uncovered, but I respect the admins view and understand that maybe some cover might be required. Personally I'd wrap her in a flag, but maybe this could be seen as lack of respect for those who served in a war where many lost their life and many more received scars that will never heal. Yet, I believe a figure like that wrapped in flag would look great !
ssculptor Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 I think the figure is fine as it is and the uncovered parts should be painted in flesh tones. The only obscene thing I see there is the rifle, which is used to kill people. The alluring parts of her body are meant to entice lusty young men to mate with her and thus produce offspring. This is how Mother Nature keeps the species going. So how can anything as natural as procreation be censurable while instruments of death are glorified? Me thinks our society's morals are screwed up somewhat. ssculptor
worm Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Not sure whats obscene about the M16, lovely bit of engineering.
wkennerley Posted January 18, 2011 Author Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) I think the figure is fine as it is and the uncovered parts should be painted in flesh tones. She will be painted flesh tones etc, however on the photo's I post I will superimpose something over the fun bags to hide them Wayne Edited January 18, 2011 by wkennerley
wkennerley Posted January 28, 2011 Author Posted January 28, 2011 (edited) Right I have the figure, fixed up a join issue on the arm and have sprayed trousers / helmet in green and masked then, then initial coat of flesh, covered it in a darker wash then decided I wanted her lighter skinned so have brushed / blended a lighter flesh colour (all games workshop colours) - Hopefully take a photo later.

wkennerley Posted February 7, 2011 Author Posted February 7, 2011 Right so here she is, flesh pretty much done (not great but OK in my eyes) - The finish on the metal was nto brilliant adn although I caught some of it there is still a lot of roughness as can be seen on The side shot - Anyway I placed her on the base to photograph and what does the silly cow do afterwards?? Well she fell over and broke her arm!! Oh well now to see if I can fix it without a seam showing!!
ssculptor Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Well, I like it. She looks good to me. Maybe a bit young, but at my age if the lady is breathing she is young. Stephen
Col. Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Good job so far Wayne. The flesh effects look grand to my eyes. Shame about her arm but an easier fix than if she was life size
wkennerley Posted April 7, 2011 Author Posted April 7, 2011 (edited) Right here she is all done. My first largish figure so its by no means perfect, I havce noticed the one eye is a bit yellow, will have to sort that out Wayne Edited April 7, 2011 by wkennerley
