Are you actually the original sculptor, it doesn't matter too much.

I KNOW the original green of this model was for sale on ebay for 200 UK about a year ago.

correct, after sculpting the original green last year I put it on ebay, then changed my mind about selling it after people being interested in resin reproductions. I raised the price first to £100 then £200 to put people off buying it, before realising that i could actually take it off ebay, DOH. I had other plans, as you can now see.
I hope this helps.

*Very* slightly modified to "remove" the bikini top by filing the edges into the body.

Not bad, eh?

Hmm... I guess I'll have to convert the leftover Sister slave as an Objective marker.

Cheers for that link Howard A Treesong.
I noticed that some of those models somepeople at my gaming club have models very much like them.

Too small.

I'm actually thinking of getting one of these girls to make into a captured Slaaneshi thing for my IG army.
Come on, over a hundred guys and not one accessible way to relieve some stress between campaigns?
Not even that one day, at the exact mid-point in the tour, can be considered anything other than gay.
*shudder* Yick, talk about awkward moments.

Well, if that IS the case then

Chains removed
head remodelled
head repositioned
hair resculpted
boobs enormo-sized
loincloth removed
hair that goes in between arm and body removed.


Surely it'd be easier just to sculpt from scratch, right?

for those of you confusing my 'captive girl' miniature with a converted GW mini, please see the below link to some wip pics of the original green. http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/images-13387-2847_Captive%20Girl%20Wip%20Gs.html
thankyou

>for those of you confusing my 'captive girl' miniature with a converted GW mini...

No, you misunderstand.
Your mini was just *compared* to the DE slave girls (both the LE ones without bikinis and the normal ones). The "slightly modified" comment was concerning how to make a DE babe look like a LE DE babe.

I do think you should make 3-4 slave girls in different positions (and with different sized ones ...) - and sell them as a pack. This way you will both earn more for each sale - and justify the rather steep p&p. Thus selling a lot more.

There is always a demand for scantly clad and shackled slave girls.

The Ral Partha slave auction (two variations, with and without clothes) is a good example. Look it up.

imho , I dont think the captive girl is comparable to gw slave girls.
The GW girls look like slaves willing to please their master. Almost like cheap oversexualized holiday souvineers.
While Uri's sculpture captures the fear and despair of a girl who has been taken captive and knows she is about to be......harmed in some horrible way.
After taking into account all the comments about so called 'realism', and taking the GW slave sinto account, I know which model i would buy.
Thanks Uri Lee, you are a god!

I don't think you have looked at the back of the laying down gw slave girl she is holding a knife.
but I like uri's and am #1 on the list to get one

Its a great looking model, you cant please everybody so i appreciate the fact you didnt try to. Just do what you like and enjoy it

WTH, they look like a cartoon done by a 12 year old who has never seen a naked woman.

Right, as opposed to Space Marines, who are not at all cartoonish, but very realistic. Assuming you were able to genetically engineer a superman to be 8 feet tall, impossibly muscular, and integrated with a mechanical suit of battle armor.

Hardly comparable. The problem mentioned with this figure isn't the unrealistic part so much as the usual objectification of women in fantasy. Even for a fantasy figure she's a big girl, they aren't "fantasy curves". It's beyond fanstay and nearer parody, it just looks daft and reinforces the idea that gamers are some bunch of sniggering socially inept teens. Most of the posts on this thread are making breast related jokes. I like naked women as much as the next guy but this is adolescent nonsense which is a shame because as a technical achievement it is a good sculpt.

Says the guy with the barely clad woman eating a corn dog or similarly phallic shaped food.

Ha! Face!

The amount of offended hand-wringing in this thread is hysterical to me. Another example of how accepted violence is, but add sexual content and people suddenly start acting like Puritans. 'I'll play a game where Genocide is as common as a "how-do-you-do?" but I draw the line at BEWBS!'

It's a nice sculpt and I know that if I was going to be taking slaves the women with huge, delicious breasts would be right at the top of the list. I don't play any armies that require the model though... Maybe I could pimp my Monolith?

Surely, in the Grim Darkness of the 41st Millennium, they still like big boobs? I mean, it's not like physical augmentation isn't a really common thing in the Imperium is it?

Not no more she don't.

Indeed, and with the imperial guard no longer using suspensors for heavy weapons, the gifted lady needs never know discomfort.

There is no confusion. If you read the thread:
- I noted that I'd be interested in expanding my "slave girl" collection, and that your model is similar to my converted slave girl.
- someone else asked which model I was using.
- I posted a pic of the GW original for comparision.
- someone else posted a joke that you massively converted the slave girl
- you jumped to conclusion that he was serious...

OK, thanks DD

No problem.

BTW, kendoka's suggestion is really good, to sculpt a set (of at least 3) to leverage shipping for buyers.

Yes I agree do a pack and you'll make more money. although I'm still intrested in buying 1 atm.

I'm sure purchases of this model will encourage the sculptor to realise the financial viability of a pack of 3 new models to compliment it...

So buy this one and give him that encouragement!

I thought i'd better include a picture to give an idea of exact scale, without breaching any copyright laws by posting a picture directly comaparing it with another companies miniatures.
She is a tall girl, but I believe she is of acceptable scale. If anyone isnt happy with the model within 30 days of recieving one, i will refund without any arguement.

I'm still very interested.
Keep me informed please of any future sculpts

That would be good for a Penitent Witch for my Inquisiton Retinue!

Thats exactly what I was thinking!!!
Or as a deamonhost for my DH army.
maybe need some more chains/horns etc for that. . . .

well im glad you decided to make resin sculpts, I was actually bummed that you were selling the green and thought it may never go into production. If I get some $ next month I might PM you and hopefully you will have 1 left.

Terminus wrote:Indeed it is, and still going strong, although some of the panels occasionally have so much going on that it's hard to follow. I consider the fact that they only animated the first Arc one of the greatest tragedies of the 20th century.

Yeah, I can't agree more. The first arc is the best, IMO, but the rest of it is amazing too. I wish they would make the rest of it. That comic series is just amazing, and it seems to be going for the record. What are they on, volume 36 or so? Berserk may be the longest at the rate it is going at.

Thaks for your interest blaktoof. I am also glad i never sold the green. They seem even nicer in resin than the master green itself did. Weird but true !

Edit: Nevermind >.<

As was mentioned earlier I'm also sensing TSoaLR.
Also could post i pic of the miniture next to any other minture as well as the ruler please.

I'd like a better shot of the face. From this angle the boobs have more details than any other part of her :/
