Those are great!

Very talented artist.

Nice find, Armand! Very tastily done!

Fantastic! Where do you find this stuff!

I'm going to print these out on cardstock and turn them into bookmarks.

Que guapas! Garcias Raul.

Glad. He is a talented artist.

Very nice! A very talented artist.

Make love, not war!

Make a great calendar… I counted 12 of them. Love the Dutch Lancer babe.

A great find.

Thanks for posting the images.

GREAT idea!

They look rather emaciated for Napoleonic pin ups. Must be the retreat from Moscow special issue.

M C LeSingeDew, you been hangin' with Smokey too long, mate.

Fantasque said it…sad.. Most war-gamers I have met have had a BMI twice their age and the dress sense of a baboon…so girls that look like that this would have nothing to do with them……indeed, only even go so far as to look at them, but with the price agreed first.

Nothing wrong with fantasy….we can all remember the 60s and waists of 28 ins in Levis…….comes a time to grow up! I have nothing against naked (or even half naked) women (far from it)……but……..let's stick to turnbacks and epaulettes and formations. Few real women look like this. No contributors to this forum look like the male version I'll bet.

and the Polish infantry girl. I "went out" with her, about 30 years ago! Knocked me sideways (the picture, not the girl). She is probably now the size of a house and mother of six. (She was really Polish and so, like me,Catholic)

I was going to go further but,….no leave it….there are too many weird folk in this world.

Very good! And they aren't standing like they need to pee, unlike many figures that mimic anime.

Nice find, Think of all those who won't get to see this.

Looks like Cossack Lady has time on her hands…

Thanks Tango!

Is the English girl facepalming because
1) she's been objectified in a way that usually only fantasy gamers indulge in OR
2) she's wearing the incorrect headgear

I'm in the this is a bit sad camp.

Happy you enjoyed them boys!. (smile).

Needs More Bricoles.

Coincidentally Deadhead, at a party on Saturday night I met an attractive young female visitor from Poland who's travelling the world researching her thesis on the use of public spaces. She lamented her struggles with a fanatical conservative catholic academic at her university who would prefer to see her and her sex in the kitchen making piroshkis.

Not for minis but happy for the pinups

His Poles and their enemies in the 17th century stuff is also pretty good

I think they are fantastic…

but as a public service announcement, if girls frighten or offend one, one can turn off the 'needs more boobies' board by going to message boards, general boards and un clicking the display on homepage box.

Nicely done. Could be the grounds of an interesting mini line. I like the fact that the clothes are reasonable

Well, for certain values of 'reasonable'. Some of them seem to have been washed in very hot water and shrunk!

I'd also consider buying minis based on that art, especially if they're 15/18mm (ie, compatible with ABs).

Glad you enjoyed them too boys!. (smile).

What? None in a kilt?

You are right my friend! (smile).

Wowsers!

These are very nice but I still prefer these Napoleonic pin-ups;

I think the Goddess of Thermidor is my favourite

Could this be what Patton was refering to when he said, "God help me I do love it so" John Miller

@ Spontoon: check out the Ace of Spades in the site header.

For the rest, I'll admit that the sapper and her handiwork made me smile, but overall I'm with Fantasque.

The many women who actually took part in the Napoleonic wars, whether in uniform or as civilians, certainly looked very different…

Not all my friend.
Ask André Masséna, Duke of Rivoli, Prince of Essling (1758–1817)and Charles Pierre François Augereau, Duke of Castiglione (1757–1816), they have at their side women like that. (smile).

Don't forget Emma Hamilton and Queen Luise of Prussia, who were certainly gorgeous – but did dress more modestly in public.

What? None in a kilt?

Follow Tango's link, click on an image and wait until the page loads fully, so you see the left and right arrows appear.

Click the arrows, there are about 60 of these lovelies, all though not all are of the period.

Seek and yee shall find

@Deadhead – Please speak for yourself, I am in decent shape and wasn't alive in the 60's, or 70's for that matter. And while my wife isn't a rail (thank the gods), she pulls the pinup look amazingly well.

These are really cool and a clever spin on a modern concept.

Glenn M, then you missed out on the Grateful Dead (indeed most decent music) if you were not alive in the 60s and 70s. You have no idea what Khe Sahn or Tet meant. Yom Kippur is a history lesson, to you. You think you have seen an oil crisis?

Funny thing is that "wife is a rail" does not translate. I even tried Google for that. The Atlantic is wider than we think. Hell, the Irish Sea is as wide to me, as an exile in the UK for 59 of my 60 years!

BMI? I do 40 minutes every night on the cross trainer, as I struggle through the DVD of Breaking Bad (only two episodes to go tonight). I stand, or squat, as I operate, to work out the quads, whilst my junior colleagues sit. My legs are killing me tonight as result (it was a long session, with a mind numbingly slow anaesthetist…you call them anaesthesiologists).

You are a lucky man though. Mrs F still can do the pin up thing after decades married to me…you cannot ask more. Yes, if they walk around Gettysburg, Waterloo, Culloden, Normandy, Salerno, Anzio, Borodino, whilst dragging 3 sons in tow, that is what real women are about…not these fantasy figures.

When I say my wife isn't a rail, I mean that she isn't super skinny (like a rail) She's got nice curve, I'd be sad if she were too thin. She had been losing weight after the kids and was doing so well I started getting concerned she'd get too thin lol

Brilliant. A rail…….of course………

You do have to admire the artwork I admit!

Am I right in thinking that he is producing a set of playing cards – I would buy those if he ends up selling them in a UK centric fashion (ebay maybe). I think they are fun, tasteful and pretty. My wife has no issue with such frippery, so I think I can allow myself this small pleasure. Far too easy to be grumpy than happy these days maybe…

How about these, link

Dear 11th ACR

The jokeresque smile is a turn off.

Gotta agree with Otto, 11th, that smile looks really, really creepy. Even without it being repeated on every girl.

Guys, there are more of them (they?) now…

Hope you enjoy!.

Must be me…..seems a bit weird still. This guy has talent. Why doesn't he do "the real thing" in Napoleonics instead? His drawings are well researched and very skilfully executed. Would he not be more "successful" commercially if he portrayed those with XY chromosomes, in parade and campaign dress?

Dear 11th ACR

The jokeresque smile is a turn off.

Well I, for one, find it very attractive. I'd like to purchase prints of those, if possible. Preferably poster-sized and suitable for framing.
