My next Steampunk offering. Another figure from Reaper which goes by the name of “Vermina” on account of the fact that she likes vermin and rats in particular. I really loved painting this figure. So much detail and no paint colour restrictions.
Managed to find some rather nice victorian style lamps on Ebay which befitted the period and provide a little more interest in the base. With hindsite I ought to have done a lighter colour on the base so that the rats at her feet stand out better although the photos do make it a little darker than it actually appears up close and personal. Something to revist at some point perhaps.

Oh mate I am so impressed ,great figure and brilliantly painted, and no, the base is great as I feel you have to let people discover the little things for themselves ,you really have started 2020 with a ripper, and top marks on the lamppost !

Cheers Dave, female figures do provide a little more scope on faces with lipstick and eye shadow which helps add a bit more detail.

She’s ace, great use of colour (especially that lemony yellow), love the pinstripes, and the minimalist base sets the scene nicely without crowding the miniature.

Cheers Alex. Funny you should mention Clockwork Orange. The film came up in a conversation I was having recently and helped inspire the paint job.
