I'll check out Artizan's webstore and I can recall the Mega Minis civilian (a not-Flash Harry) you mentioned but didn't they go out of business last year?<br /><br />Having watched all of the St. Trinian's films now I can say that as they progress the school uniforms become less, well, uniform. Yes, some of the St. Trinian's girls do wear tartan and/or checkered skirts.

For other figures there is a good Flash-Harry type spiv in the mega-mini range and Artizan make a Mrs Marples type for the Head teacher.<br />These do remind me a lot my own schooldays where the girls wore black stockings all the way up to sixth form.<br />As for uniforms, there are also many schools that wear tartan skirts and there are some excellent examples on minis painted with them.

When and if I can, of course. Yes, it is much harder to sculpt a figure from scratch than it is to convert a figure. Wow, a 16" tall figure, you say? That's way taller than anything I've ever sculpted. I sculpted a few 54mm scale figures when I was running my Wild West skirmish games many years ago but never anything taller than that.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-62540494651377349202014-01-19T16:45:22.014+00:002014-01-19T16:45:22.014+00:00Amazingly done Bryan you'll have to do a game ...Amazingly done Bryan you'll have to do a game a one off game of ATZ with all these gals in.Simon Quinton https://www.blogger.com/profile/18001946192905517180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-13973905273427338122014-01-19T16:04:57.996+00:002014-01-19T16:04:57.996+00:00I fully appreciate sculpting is much harder then c...I fully appreciate sculpting is much harder then converting I have sculpted before but about 30 years ago and much larger (about 16 inches tall).

I had to learn the hard way - through lots of practice. Nowadays, with the Internet and on-line tutorials you'll find things easier. Easier but still hard, especially if you've never sculpted before.<br /><br />You can't go wrong with dark colours for school uniforms - black, dark blue or dark green would all work well. I wish you all the best in your painting and sculpting endeavours.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-22013676983099734352014-01-19T14:15:13.361+00:002014-01-19T14:15:13.361+00:00Just to clarify, Hugh, I'm not obsessed with s...Just to clarify, Hugh, I'm not obsessed with schoolgirls in stockings and suspenders but women in stockings and suspenders.

Hasslefree's Madge from their Adventurers range would make an ideal Camilla. Flash Harry would have to be the George Cole version. I'm not a fan of Russell Brand and I thought he was the weakest character in the 2007 film. I'm searching for a suitable figure.<br /><br />Oh, what an interesting question, Bob. What subject would I teach if I was a master at St. Trinian's? Okay, I'll avoid the obvious answer of sex education and go for something I know a lot about - art and art history. Failing that, supernatural studies, if it was allowed on the curriculum.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-38651918492761168992014-01-19T12:05:15.547+00:002014-01-19T12:05:15.547+00:00Thanks, Johnny.
