Some more WIP's..

"Spec Ops Squad Member, 'Giant' WIP"

"Third member of our growing Spec Ops team - 'Widow'"

Spoilered because well, tits.

Spoiler:

"Kev having a play on a possible variant before he's even finishedthe metal version!"

This guy reminds me of an episode of Stargate where Teal'c wields twin p90s. That wouldn't be the inspiration for this particular model would it?

That's hardy a good reason to spoiler a model. Especially when it isn't even particually cheesecakey.

**BrookM**

I know, but we have people around who would gladly report me to the fun police for posting that unspoilered, because think of the church / children / virgins!!!

I would call it a good move because some folks here browse at work.

Hey BrookM, I just got the older Tomoko model from Waylandgames, but I can't find any retailers that have Tomoko (b) the one in that picture, are there any retailers that have her? I gotta have it! ^_^

**BrookM**

Why not buy her directly from Hasslefree? Or is this a taboo?

**somewheresomehow**

The WIP with the two guns reminds me of an EVA, though obviously miniaturized.

Do they ship to the US and price in USD? I didn't see the option to buy in USD on their site, only in british pounds. It also has no info on their site on how much shipping would be to the States.

**Snrub**

Hang on, it appears that i may have been misunderstood. I wasn't having a go at Brook. I was making light of the fact that so many cheesecakey things don't get spoilered yet Brook has the decency to spoiler that image. Which is (imo) relatively tame by comparison.

**Azazelx**

They do ship to the US.

The only currency we can accept is GBP Sterling. We will sometimes barter, but goats and other livestock is definitely not a payment option!

We accept all major credit and debit cards including American Express. You can also use Paypal if you choose. Either of those methods will automatically convert your native currency into GBP Sterling.

To find out how much it comes to, have a look at:
http://www.xe.com/

One thing this shiny new website has enabled us to do is to enter individual pack weights for each catalogued item. This means that as you add items to your basket it provides a running weight total which it then uses to calculate your shipping costs based on wherever you are in the world. We think this is the fairest method as we have run at a loss on some items in the range for a while now.

We have used a shipping price matrix where we have entered prices from Royal Mail and various courier services to ensure you pay the lowest price for your shipping. Unlike some online sellers we do not make a profit on shipping charges.

You will have an option at checkout to select a tracked/ insured service. This option has been priced based on the charges imposed on us for that service. Customers in Italy, Spain, Mexico and Greece are advised to select ‘International Signed For’ as these are the countries that are most likely to lose items. We reserve the right to refuse to supply a customer who refuses to choose tracked options for their orders and repeatedly makes claims that they are lost.

But then, I know it's not safe to look at a Brother Vinni thread at work. A Hasslefree one should (theoretically) be safe to look at.

Merely doing it because I don't like being nagged at / reported by moral guardians, not because some folks are browsing at work. If you get fired at work for browsing Dakka Dakka, good! That's your own fault.

While we're at it, here's another WIP:

"Almost Finished 40mm Kalee variant (more stars!) Whadya think?"

"Alternate head choice for 40mm Kalee coming soon (Kalee will now come with the head as a separate piece). There will also be a body variant shortly afterwards. "

DOES SHE COME WITH THE NIPPLE PASTIES???

If she does then i'm buying a whole damn army of her.

I laughed more than I should have!

**Buzzsaw**

40mm line? I'm not sure that I have seen a similar scale line. Anyone have some scale shots of what that would look like, or is it meant to be an art format?

**BrookM**

Those are the more collectible miniatures just for painting and display purposes.

Your work policies scare me a lot sometimes <<. "He saw a model with boobs! QUICK, CALL THE MORAL-POLICE! FIRE THE PERVERT!"

On topic: That other one looks pretty good

I like the idea of 2 bodies, the second one could be used for a RPG character.

Sure but work in an office environment long enough and you will find someone who can take offense to anything. After all it is only a series of small steps to go from Pornographic Image --> Illustration of Naked Body --> Picture of tiny physical representation of naked body, and a lot of people will skip the middle parts.

Of course we have Brother Vini's beautifully sculpted minis which quite often have, at best, questionable contextual positions.

**Azazelx**

It very much depends on where you work, who you work for and who you work with. Suffice to say that even miniature model nudity isn't appropriate for my (and I'm sure, others') workplaces. On top of that, different locales in the world treat these things differently again.

Acting like idiots about it doesn't really do much, aside from highlight your own immaturity.

**Mathieu Raymond**

Yeah, me too. I don,t even dare use Dakka on my laptop at work. So many people could read too much into that accidental material. And I think we work in similar veins, so, yeah, totally understand.

**TheDraconicLord**

Maybe it's because I'm far too used to see people checking out sport related sites with plenty of half naked models in photo-shoots. We have plenty of those, so I always find it strange when someone spoilers a little plastic woman

And I'm sorry if I offended anyone, never meant to! I am truly amazed how people could actually be offended with this so I'm sorry. Peace! /offtopic

P.S: Oh and yeah, I guess I really did sound like an a$$ with that comment. My bad.

I think I'm in a similar workspace, and I wouldn't bring anything hobby related in because, you know, guns. Also, some of the places I work have a weird fixation on satanism, including DnD imagery.

This makes me especially grateful I work from home.

**BrookM**

And another WIP of Grant, Kev's on fire!

**somewheresomehow**

First new WIP has a Predator 1 Ahnald feel to it, which translates into WIP 2

"You'll never hit me! You'll never hit my tiny head!"
Scout-

Looking good.
