That's a bit good...

1st Preview pics shown - D'Oh ninja'd by Jon - really should have checked back further than the last post before posting! Worthy bump in any case

It's quite awesome. I'll be doing a donation once I see the remaining sculpts, so I know how much cash will be going for the good cause.

**endtransmission**

Hooooooo boy. Last year's model was one of the nicest that I painted in 2013... I think you've just out done yourselves!

**Grot 6**

Are the figures still available?

The tank girl mini' s aren't out yet, only the booga sculpt has been seen/ completed so far. Iirc they are due in about February/ March 14. There won't be any tanks available though, they went very quickly and were in limited numbers. Of the earlier mini' s I think Jon / Dags still has some Judge Minty and Sasha Grey figures. Pm him via frothers if you wanted those.

**Dags123**

Yep, still got a couple of Mintys and Sashas left - drop me a line a the charity gmail address if you're interested

**Grot 6**

Threw a few bones your way.

35 pounds for those is a great deal.

I'm also interested in the McGinty and the Sasha Grey.

**Dags123**

Cheers! Mailed you back

EDIT: Ooops forgot to post that this is (I hope obviously) a WiP of the Tank Girl sculpt (done by Kev White of Hasslefree).

Follow the links to make your donations and get in on some cracking figures

**lone dirty dog**

I know she is risky at best in the clothing department but thats just

LOL nice start really captured the look spot on even in this early stage.

Justa shame I could not get the tank to go with her

**sonofruss**

I think that is a dolly for more work she is missing the Mohawk so the shirt and shorts should be added before sale.
I wish I had the money to buy the entire group when you had the tank included without the tank it would look like it is missing something on a display base.

**CptJake**

Same here. Give me the ability to add a tank at this point and I get the set.

**Dags123**

Sorry, guys, for the reasons already stated, there won't be anymore tanks and we're also starting to run low on the mini sets - only around 50 left to be allocated.

On the plus side we've raised over £7,500 for Cancer & MS research - thank you all 8)

**Alpharius**

Have there been any updated pics of the actual tank shown lately?

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

No nothing on the Tank (or Camp koala)

Geronimo has been busy with Cthulhu Wars prototypes amongst other things

**richred_uk**

Not a mini's update, but Dags just posted this nice acknowledgement from JustGiving of how generous the mini community has been across the Minty and Tank Girl projects this year

http://p3trc.emv2.com/HM?a=ENX7CqwWSLBr8SA9MKJuMS_nGHxKL4ld__cStGb5lw8W0bBhOG5mpqVsje_Hhe-qTlOd

Thanks to all the guys sculpting, creating, moulding, shipping and giving on these projects.

**richred_uk**

Promo Paintjob from Frother's own Fat Tailor (see below for a link to his page if you want to give him money for good painting rather than dodgy clothing). Jon/ Dags' update below. Still time to get in on the individual figures, but no more Tanks I'm afraid. The Face Book Group

Hi all,
Sorry for the lack of updates - we've had a few unavoidable delays but we're almost back on track. Just to wet the your appetite here's a painted resin master casting version of Booga. This one is going to the utterly brilliant Mr R...ufus Dayglo as a 'thank you' for everything he's done for us

Special thanks to Roy Duffy of Duff Paint (https://www.facebook.com/DuffPaint) for slapping the paint on - he's a top bloke despite the appalling taste in shirts and hairstyles!
and the guys at Grey Matter Figures for running off the master castings and Ian Fenris Games for providing the base

**richred_uk**

A rather nice update of Kev White's Tank Girl sculpt posted at The Facebook Group

More angles can be seen
Here

There's only about 40 of the figure sets, and none of the Tanks left available, so move quickly if you want to get these cracking figures.

And Here's some WiP by the rather talented Tommie Soule which will be getting auctioned off to add extra funds

**Grot 6**

That paint job is pretty cool, Way to go on the sculpts, really stoked for mine.

**lone dirty dog**

She looks totally spot on love the hand gesture as well just splendid

**Kilkrazy**

Will they do Jet Girl and Sub Girl too?

Not planed as far as I know, BUT a chap called Bernard posted this over on the Frothers' thread :

Made from a Statuesque Resistance Fighter I think this one

**Guildsman**

Hot dang. I really missed out on this one.

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

If you contact DAGs they've got 30-40 sets left unallocated so you could still get hold of one

**endtransmission**

So so glad I managed to get the full set. These are coming out beautifully!

**Wyrmalla**

I came across a painted Tank Girl over on Frothers.

Any updates on when the model's are going to be out though?

**Alpharius**

And they're still doing the actual tank too, right?

**Wyrmalla**

The tank's a third done according to a thread from March 1st on Frothers. I was trawling that site for news, and beyond that image was posted on the 6th of April on their Facebook page, there's not much. Given that everyone's working on the models for free, I suppose its not high up on anyone priorities. I'm only in for Tank Girl herself mind you, and perhaps my painting skills will have improved enough that I can do something half arse with her at least.

**Alpharius**

If you can find a pic of the Tank WIP, I'd appreciate it!
