Very nice. Richard

So lovely!

..why is it that nobody has thought of making them in 15mm yet? :(

(Not totally true: Blue Moon has made some beautiful ladies and folk women into their AWI and Pirates ranges)

Are thise your own making or can these figures be purchased from some maker? Excellent work, if your own creations then you are a real artist.

Thanks :-D
@Otto..I really wish I could sculpt at all but I canīt, Iīve tried but it isnīt my thing at all.
The working class ones are from Imex.

Lluis, it's often possible to scrounge individual figures from 1/72 plastic sets for use in 25mm or 15mm modelling. For instance, from the Imex American Pioneers set illustrated here, the 'daughter' could be cut free from the 'mother' and used in 15mm as an adult woman. The woman in mob cap with spoon and plate is distinctly short for 1/72 scale, and might pass if mixed in among hefty 18mm figures. And there is a 'boy' figure that could also be scrounged as a 15mm adult.

Of course this impies buying a box of Imex to get 6 useful figures. But a number of the figs could be adapted as 'children' in 25/28mm collections by carving off unwanted artifacts and secondary sexual characteristics: beards, busts, firearms. Plastic is so…plastic.
