Photo blocked by adult filter: "picture" Someone recently acquired these turks, plus one racy nun. The turks I don't care so much about, but does anyone know who made the nun? Naked or not, that's damn fine sculpting and I can't tell who the sculptor is/was. Obviously googling "Naked nun" takes you all sorts of interesting places, even if also add "28mm miniature" so not much success there. Many thanks. |

Don't think so. Different base, different proportions (GZG's figures seem to be a bit on the squat/chunky side), and appears to be sculpted to a much higher standard (no offence to GZG fans). Actually, speaking of that base, I was wondering maybe that would give the manufacturer away. |

It's GZG GC-06 Naughty Habits (Nun nicer). Most of that range is finer-proportioned than the general gaming figures, which have to stand up to a different sort of handling (I guess). |

Don't google 'naked nun'. It can be habit-forming. |

;) Thanks for the answers! Maybe GZG bought the line from JT? I admit I'm not at all familiar with JT minis – never heard of 'em before. Anybody know who the sculptor was? |

If he's also the guy who did the Phoenix Follies etc., I believe the name is Tim Richards. |

Tim Richards is correct. JT used to licence cast from GZG, as we did at Eureka. Looks like they changed the base, as the one I cast has a plain simple one. The Turks are ours too, by the way. Nic EUREKA MINIATURES |
