Typical for me, I've dropped into the map not having a hot clue of what I'm doing. Yep, no plan at all. Not to fear, as thankfully we have the delightful Lady Sarah with her Star Yacht to whisk us around the various orbits, depositing us where we wish, for the low, low cost of a painted female figure. What a great deal!
Accordingly, I present to you Felicity Foxcroft, dilettante, freelance spy and all-around heart-breaker.
I've had this figure in my stores for quite a while, and for the life of me I can't remember where I got her from. She looks like a Hasslefree, Statuesque, or a Pulp Miniature sculpt. Hmm, I dunno. No matter, I think she's quite the dish with her slinky evening gown, long silk gloves, and, the ultimate accessory for a lady-about-town: a .38 snub nose revolver.
Felicity will be a welcome addition to our Pulp collection. I know for certain she'll charm the socks off of the next Shoggoth we happen across.
Okay, I have 5 points for Felicity, plus another 20 for my passage on Sarah's Star Yacht, so 25 total.
Oh, and this will also be 'F' for Femme Fatale in the 'Alphabet Soup Challenge' (I also have 'M' for Marvin).
Aaand, 5 points towards my 95 point 'Modern Duel' with DavidB.
Now, I'm off for Caprica!

Lovely figure, I think it’s a statuesque “pulp alley” figure that I wish I’d picked up as they seem to be oop now. Smashing work on the dress, always tricky to get dark colours right and this one looks great!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jamie. I think you're right as I remember ordering from them a few years back. Too bad their pulp range is no longer available as they were great minis.
DeleteGreat work Curt!
ReplyDeleteThanks Samuli!
DeleteLovely job Curt
ReplyDeleteCheers Paul.
DeleteBeautifully crafted deep blue. Brilliantly done with just the highest points reaching a saturated blue on the dress. Very impressive Curt!
ReplyDeleteThank you Darrell! I used a Contrast base, but decided to add to the highlights with some glazes of Foundry blues.
DeleteGreat looking vamp!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Cheers Iain. She is rather vampy, isn't she.
Deletegreat jo, your female figures are always slinky
ReplyDeleteYep, I quite like em that way. :)
DeleteVery 007, straight from the film set ... great post thanks.
ReplyDeleteCheers Jez
Thanks Jez! That reminds me that we should watch the new one on Apple TV tonight. :)
DeleteVery nice pulp lady, Curt! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Tamsin!
DeleteLove the shading!
ReplyDeleteCheers Dux!
DeleteShe’s a killer!
ReplyDeleteShe's a Killer Queen; Gunfire and guillotine. :)
DeleteVery Nice work
ReplyDeleteThank you Adam
DeleteShe is very seductive! Clearly she will pull you in and mess you up! Your work on her dress is outstanding. I really like the definition on her leg peeking out of the slit of her dress.
ReplyDeleteThank you Tamsin! The thing I like best about her sculpt is her leg, as it provides a wonderful contrast against her long dress.
DeleteShe’s definitely a Statuesque - I have her in a red dress somewhere fir Pulp Alley . Grand job
ReplyDeleteRiiight! I remember your red-dressed Girl. Wonderful work. Thanks for the confirmation, Dave!
DeleteFine work as ever dude - and again, I remain stunned at your ability to stick these figures on the transparent bases.
ReplyDeleteThanks dude! Believe me there have been MANY botched bases (and colourful language) on the path to learning on how to glue them on consistently.
DeleteVery snazzy.
ReplyDeleteCheers Robert!
DeleteVery elegant!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ray
DeleteWell done. Excellent work.
ReplyDeleteBruceR
Thank you Bruce!
DeleteMarvelous looking figure, she looks dressed for all the best parties/assassinations over the holiday period.
ReplyDeleteHaha! Yes, she just needs a eggnog in the other hand that's not holding a pistol. :)
DeleteWhat a striking figure! That night blue/black gown is the bees knees
ReplyDeleteCheers Nick!
DeleteLovely Curt and like Nick says that blue dress is striking.
ReplyDeleteChristopher
Thank you Christopher!
DeleteMarvelous miniatutr. Fortunately I don't know where to get her, so I don't need to worry about it. With that gown she should feel herself welcome on the Star Yacht.
ReplyDeleteHaha! Thanks Teemu.
Delete"She had a face to make a bishop kick in a stained-glass window. And the bishop had a kick like a one-legged horse that had won the Kentucky Derby."
ReplyDeleteA femme, wonderfully fatale!
Haha! Indeed. Thanks Evan. ;)
DeleteShe is very nice, Curt! She can easily slip into most any Era and be most anything even a covert operator. Very nice black on the gown!
ReplyDeleteAaaaaand away you go with a stolen march and I've nary a point on the board! ;)
We could pit her against your new Beholders and take bets on who'd come out on top. Beholders have evil intelligence, a battery of deadly spells and a great gnashing maw. Felicity has a small pistol, attitude and a wicked dress. Hmm, I'd be putting money on the fair lady. :)
DeleteLOvely model and better paint work. Terrificly sexy
ReplyDeleteCheers Benito. She is a bit of a minx, isn't she.
DeleteQuite a daunting lady, this. Very nice Curt, good to see you picking up from last year(s?), I always your pulp figures !
ReplyDeleteThank you Martijn, much appreciated.
DeleteLovely silky dress and gloves and hair.
ReplyDeleteCheers Barks, she's a looker to be sure.
