Very nice.

how is the umbrella supposed to stay in place ? on the original picture the walking cane is strapped on the suitcase, here : nothing.
while the whole fig is good, it's details like that that we shouldn't see.
one could say that we, modellers, could add the detail ... NO : because this is an umbrella, the sculpted folds won't fit any added strap
i have actually a similar problem with a fig from Nuts Planet ...

don't get me bad : i'm not bashing the company nor the sculpt, i just say that after all this hard work to get there : such missing detail is unwaited by potential customers.

Could be a nurse from any army - good to see.

The sculpt on its own is very nice and I have no complaints other than the unfixed umbrella . But as Nap wrote, staying closer to the charming original would have elevated it to 100 % . Nothing can beat the Bayrischer Frauenverein Nr. 1 .

Good female miniatures are few and far between, but while this can stand on its own, I wish it had the character of the photo subject..the mini runs dreadfully close to a Mary poppins clone..could be converted, but the face is not close enough..so, nice but no..

Funny! I saw Mary Poppins too!
Nicely done but I do also wonder about the umbrella

For those interested in the Medical Services in WW I, this is worth a read (as are the author's other WW I books): https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/165/16547/the-roses-of-no-man-s-land/9780241952405.html

Thank you...and there was a series profiling some from Australia and New Zealand...Anzac Nurses...gritty bunch ...as must have been those this piece is based on...

Just bought the book and downloaded. Thank you Mike

An interesting and fascinating figure. Great to see a female subject and one where there if plenty of scope for the painter. I hope it does well.

Excellent figure I agree with Nap. I wish the sculptor would have stuck with the picture more. I liked the rounded more innocent look of the pic along with the bows, it gives off a distinct feel that the sculpt fails to capture. For the record it is an excellent sculpt! Soundly based on the picture.

Mainly it is great to see a female depicted as a human with clothes on. I don't know about you but most of the women I know or have known prefer clothes (and blankets, extra shirts, coats etcetera...they seem to be a bit sensitive to the cold ).

To put a couple of straps over the brolly should be the work of a couple of minutes. By not fixing the brolly in place, the modeller has a few more options. Personally I would like to see this in 90 & 120mm.

Agreed ..larger would give more scope..but we are close to rivet counting..it’s a huge thing to have female subjects conveyed with the same respect as male..too many are childish cartoons..your book is wonderful..am right into it ..
