She ran out of ammo and has to fire her uniform at the enemy.

Personally, I had a good laugh and moved on.

Way too much flak in this thread for nothing.

HAH! PUNNY!

She looks more naked builder than naked military. Just fitting the pipework

I dont see why theres so much fuss, people that paint minis pay good money for good sculpts and alot of them dont care about how or where this fits in.
He would not be making them if he was not selling them surely, there also may be some point to this mini that we dont get, too, ever thought about that ?

Or maybe he just wanted to sculpt a porn star? Sometimes the easiest answer may be the most likely

I was thinking the same. Is this a base model for conversions, or just that sexy sells?

It can't be both?

But I actually like the very simple plain models. Gives you so much room to add and customize.

Wow. Nice bazooka.

Got another sculpt of her with a sombraro?

She's obviously wielding a high-powered t-shirt cannon.

What's the BS they have?

Is BS bra size?

Eh, give the guy a break, hes a great sculptor. Sure his choice of subject for his own work is...eccentric, I guess you could say, but it is well sculpted. Also, lets be honest, his nudes are far better than some of the Slaanesh-ish stuff coming out, like that Wet Nurse thing...some of that stuff is borderline disturbing.


My wife and I got in on the Blackwater Gulch kickstarter, and the gangs we picked are chock full of Vinnis work...which we are both looking forward to.

Guys, I love you all! Thank you!
I sculpt my naked ladies only for discussions like this.

So I searched "action girls"....they are totally right up your alley.

Of course now Im gonna get flak from people for encouraging you...

I guess she's wearing the highest level female armour in any game.

Looks like a homeopathic armour to me. 4+ save on 3d6!

Mad4Minis thanks!

just a little correction: Veronika Zemanova isn't a porn-star, just a nude photo-model ))

Ummm... okay. I would prefer some clothes on her, because then it would be a bit more comic book than just naked. When GW did the Last Chancers there's a girl among those in a skirt, helmet and rifle. Bit silly but it's quite fun. If this was wearing a bikini or something it would be at least a bit tank-girl-esque. But as it it, it's just a bit odd, especially the pose. Oh well.

Your welcome, and I was thinking the same about Veronika...the whole Action Girls thing isnt really as much porn as flash...hot girls flashing a lot of skin while playing with guns.

Well, next time someone says that the sculpt is unrealistic because it is too top heavy, you can reply that you actually used Zemanova as your model and had to scale her back a bit.

It think that it would be a challenge to paint her to make it look like she was clothed.

I think the point is that this market exists...

Uhhh guys... you must be googling a different Veronika Zemanova from the one I'm looking at... her appearance in "hard-core" films and billing as a well-endowed "porn star" kind of makes her a..."porn star"... if you know what I mean...

(And it was fun researching this topic! )

Spoiler:

That's the Ancient Aliens guy, I'd have gone with an anal probe joke for that one instead. Mini itself is nicely sculpted, even if it doesn't really work for anything but being a naked chick with a missile launcher.

Fantasy...all about the fantasy....since when did fantasy need justification, either you share Brother Vinni's ideals or you don't.....

Brother Vinni seems obsessed with boobs.
No offence, we all are. Only we are too shy to express it.

What a crappy model...Seriously, couldn't she just have combat pants and a sports bra on? That would make sense, but this? WTF? Geeze, even though she is naked "Brother Vinni" failed on her anatomy -she is as flat as a Barbie doll.

This is a model for lonely pervs who live in dark, dank apartments and have millions of cats.

I'm in agreement that the model is distasteful but insulting people who want to buy it just for the sake of insulting them seems a little low.

PS - I just watched Monty Python again about an hour ago so while I might not like your comments I do like your name/avatar.

I should have thought of that... It was a major part of the second mission scenario at the Tournie I played in last weekend...



Regardless of whether or not you can come up with a fluffy justification for it, as a gaming miniature those fluffy justifications aren't going to be appropriate for more than the odd scenario, and as a display piece it just looks odd.

Surely the missile launcher is a phallic symbol, showcasing her having to overcome the prejudice of being a woman (as symplified by her nakedness) in the traditional male role of soldier (as symbolized by the penis aka missile launcher).

Actually, Frued would say that, due to the inborn "penis envy" all women have as they are really just weakened men in Freudian theory, she is making up for it by stripping naked and carrying a massive bazooka.

Wait, I think I just said the same thing as d-usa.

Can you imagine rolling up at your LFGS with an army of Vinni miniature "nekkid" girls ...

The look on their faces would be hilarious.....just before you get banned for life.

This model is almost as ridiculous as all the comments made about it. Go Boobs and Bazookas (or T-shirt cannons).
