I've had some requests to see what my online club is up to now with our latest casting project. I've been waiting for some nice pics, and now that the sculpting is nearly complete, I can show you our female tank commander and our female jungle fighters.
Enjoy.
Note that the guns aren't actually part of the project, we just put some guns in their hands so you don't have to guess what they'd look like carrying guns.

Man, that's the joy of Anime! To revel in the complete and utter wastefullness of making an unstoppable nuclear-powered combat andriod in the shape of a cute little girl, who has the ability to fall in love and wears an enormous bow in her hair. |

Nice work!
Like the legs especially.
The models are of course exaggerated in their proportions, but so are the male jungle fighters so that's okay.

Excellent! Between these and that other manufacturer (can't recall which one, but they have a small range of female jungle figs.) we can finally make a decent Tanith task force.  I'm not a huge fan of the helmet head though. Will there be other alternative heads available (bandana, etc.)?

And so, due to rising costs of maintaining the Golden Throne, the Emperor's finest accountants spoke to the Demigurg. A deal was forged in blood and extensive paperwork for a sub-prime mortgage with a 5/1 ARM on the Imperial Palace. And lo, in the following years the housing market did tumble and the rate skyrocketed leaving the Emperor's coffers bare. A dark time has begun for the Imperium, the tithes can not keep up with the balloon payments and the Imperial Palace and its contents, including the Golden Throne, have fallen into foreclosure. With an impending auction on the horizon mankind holds its breath as it waits to see who will gain possession of the corpse-god and thus, the fate of humanity...... |

Agreed, i mean female jungle fighters are just about ok... but tank commanders in hot pants... how very practical, its a bit creepy
Perhaps you should use those evidently good sculpting skills to make some in proportion females

If the male jungle fighters can do muscles so blatantly wrong, I think the ladies can have some endowments of their own.

Wait, so you're saying it would be less creepy if I obsessed about sculpting dudes?
How do you figure that?

No, I'd be just as creeped out if you put as much effort into sculpting oversized pecs and packages as you do into your F-cups.

So what doesn't creep you out, then? Without males and females there's not much left. Robots, perhaps?

It's not the pecs, packages or boobs that creep me out, it's the grown man that obsessively sculpts oversized tits on his toy soldiers and then writes pages of fan fiction to justify them that does.
It's your hobby, do what you want with it, but don't be surprised that people might be a bit weirded out by how you go about expressing it.

Well, I think that there is currently a niche in GW product range. A large, rotund, breast-shaped niche

You know, it's very possible to scuplt men and women without making them unproportioned. Look at IG conscripts or the LOTR Arwen.
Making IG Jungle Fighters with DD breasts and bikinis doesn't actually say anything resembling "gender equality" to me. It says "misogynism" in gigantic letters.

Straw-man argument.
Your detractors (myself included) don't feel that Big Breasted Space Marines fit with the established fluff. Space Marines cannot be female as established in all the writings about it, which is why GW developed Adepdus Sororitas - something to fit closer to what you're after but no, you're insistent in what you're doing.
In the end, they're your pieces of plastic and your green stuff and what you do with it is your business, but do not be scared of someone saying they don't like what you're doing when you bring it to the wider world.
Also, sexualising war is creepy.

Dub dee is a lot smaller than that. To scale, I mean.
