From PaulSS - "Chick Challenge IV" for For Sarah's Balloon to Docherty’s Dock (5 points)

Chum Drew gifted me this miniature and I was rather at a loss as to what it was or what to do with it. It came with a card insert that pointed to a broken URL, but a bit of Googling for "Chick Challenge Four" turned up that it was likely produced for Spyglass miniatures as a limited edition sculpted by Steve Buddle.

It appears that you can get some of the old Spyglass stuff, but not this one, from Heresy Miniatures.

As she is wearing a Hussar jacket I wanted to paint her in a pastiche of an 11th Hussar with pink leggings in some Flashman like tribute.

I really don't like slotta-bases, especially these with the void in them, but I decided that I wanted her stood in shallow water, much like in Stranger Things when Eleven goes into sensory deprivation, it's a layer of gloss gel, painted with black and grey shades, then another layer of gloss gel on top.

I think she came out much better "in the flesh" than in these shoddy photos, after four attempts I gave up trying to get the lighting right.

So, could I please have a "Standard single fare to Dochertys Dock"

I think a single 28mm fig should net me 5pts. No champers this time...

I think old Flashy would be pleased to have this young Miss sidle up to him anytime Paul!
