One of the ladies during WW2 that gave the expression "you fight like a girl" a completely different meaning:

That's brilliant, and one in the eye for all the blokes who think women have no place in wartime.

Let us know here when she's on sale, keen to pick one up.

all the blokes who think women have no place for clothing in wartime.

Fixed that for you!

That's a terrific sculpt.

What a lovely, characterful sculpt!

Certainly not limited to WWII.

My favourite Nancy Wake story & quote:

"ASHLEY HALL: Peter FitzSimons told ABC News 24 she was also renowned for her prickly nature.

PETER FITZSIMONS: She had a volcano inside her. And one of the sad things is that she was – and she was absolutely up-front about this – she said to me the saddest day of my life was the day the war ended.

ASHLEY HALL: And for her commitment to the cause.

PETER FITZSIMONS: The launch of the book was July 2001. General Cosgrove gives this description. The commander of the Australian Defence Forces, and he basically says, I'm paraphrasing, we've had many great warriors in Australian history. I don't think pound for pound we've ever had a warrior the equal of Nancy Wake. I'm proud to be here. I'm proud to launch this book. Ladies and gentlemen I give you Nancy Wake.

And 300 people, Legacy, Red Cross, ambassadorial people, media stand up, spontaneous standing ovation.

And there is Nancy, finally stands up, and for reasons best known to herself glares at the 300 people giving her a standing ovation. And these are her words, okay? Her whole speech she said: I've just got one thing to say. I killed a lot of Germans and I'm only sorry I didn't kill more."

I didn't realise she was antipodean, she had quite an interesting early life by the sounds of it.

Are you planning on a single-piece casting, or leaving the weapon separate?

Either way, I want that mini.
