@JTam As I just said there's a difference btw historical and fantasy, the real problem is to sell some products more than others, naturally if all-female range sell well the better, this is the ben...

"Ballas of the Hussar" Movie Reviewposted in General Chatter
I read in a book about ACW, that one of the reasons Army's medical corps ordered a "total" medical exam on new recruits was to avoid that some females enlisted as males (some cases really happened)...

Monthly Themes Suggestionsposted in Atlantic Digital
In sci-fi & fantasy females' figures would be OK, but in history? Nope, except for the Red Lanterns (pratically females' equivalent for the Boxers). Logically you've to consider a product's mar...

a new poll, results of an old poll, and releases.posted in Atlantic Digital
Female figures could be, either in plastic or in STL files, f.e. gladiatrix or amazons (classical or "esotic") in plastic, and historical figures in STL. Other minis that could be useful, either i...

Goth Warriors Review from Wargames Illustratedposted in Decline and Fall: Imperial Rome at War 284-476 AD
These could pass for a lot of germanic tribes, given that all those ones had pratically the same dress, and the nobles, expecially those who'd served as mercenaries in the Empire, adopted romans'-t...

March! Vote!posted in Atlantic Digital
There was an old saga from M. Moorcock, "The Eternal Champion", with lot of worlds and characters, these were more anti-heroes than real ones, but could be interesting if some cues are taken ...

Cannon Fodder II minisposted in Painting & Modeling
You could try to modify the legs with GS, making ankle lenght boots, to simulate a combat uniform. All these figures are a bless for kitbashing and conversion, I hope that they'll make also a femal...

Female French Resistance - 'Allo 'Alloposted in World Ablaze: The Second World War 1939-1945
Female combatants' bodies could be also useful for other conversions, consider that from early '30s till late '50s female dresses didn't changed much, at least for lower/working class. So these cou...

Italian Breda 30 loader?posted in World Ablaze: The Second World War 1939-1945

Spanish Civil Warposted in World Ablaze: The Second World War 1939-1945

Which WW2 Cavalry?posted in World Ablaze: The Second World War 1939-1945
