Belt Fed Girl - 'Old West' Gunfighter With Two Pistols - By Colonel Bills

Liking the paint job on all of the figures.

Great paint job on them all Roy.
Mind you the Belt Fed Girl definitely looks like she is packing a pair of fully loaded 45's

In the case of the Belt Fed Girls range, I don't think they were ever meant as wargaming figures. I may be wrong though.

My view on nudity on (female) miniatures goes something like this.
Naked, or semi-naked Ancients (where there was historical president) you can't really argue with. [Fantasy, Amazon -types is open for debate]
Figures depicting civilians flashing the flesh, due to their profession (ie. prostitution), again, fair enough. But I strongly doubt they would be fully-nude.
Harem concubines, or those held as Slaves (the Slave Trade/Viking raid etc.), again, historical precedent allows it. But you've got to keep it tasteful, and be conscious of public feeling.  
Anything else is just gratuitous and unnecessary from the point of collecting for gaming purposes.

I do own several more of the Belt Fed figures, but I can't see me using them to game with. I'll probably paint them up and sell them on. I've done that in the past, painted topless or x-rated stuff and sold them, used the money to finance something else. They're okay for sitting on a shelf in a man-cave or the like.

Wasn't aware that the office of president EXISTED in the ancient world, though any Latin-speaker could guess more or less what the word meant.

Auto-correct on my error for precedent.

Here's what Stuart has posted on Facebook:

We are very proud of the Belt Fed Girls. They are a not meant to be taken seriously and hopefully they raise a smile or two as they appear in various wargames scenarios around the world. However.... we are aware that some people are downright upset by the female nudity, and others feel it more appropriate to have the girls fully clothed for their games. We don't judge. However Roy Williamson has just sent us his depiction of our Calamity Jane. Without any conversion work he has skillfully painted over her bare 'top' and therefore provided her with the necessary dignity for his game. How easy is that? Nudity problem solved with the stroke of a brush! Well done Roy!

We're all talking (over there on FB) about a range of naked men being sculpted next [seriously!] 
My contribution to the suggestions is Roman Gladiators

President. Precedent. Pedant.

IIRC when I was looking at doing the Trojan War in 28mm a couple of years ago at least one manufacture had some of their warriors fully nude! I have several of my 10mm Highland Jacobites in just their shirt tails (but enough coverage for modesty ) Apparently they would throw off their plaids for more freedom of movement and to preserve their best article of clothing.

Mycenaean light infantry seem to have fought naked and some of the formed foot seem to have had only shield and boar's tusk helmet. If you couldn't afford the protection of full Dendra style plate I guess the airiness of helmet and shield at least helped protect you from heatstroke

No problem with nudity, but just pointless to me

Weird how the human body throws some folk into a tizzy.

By 'eck lad! Not get many o' them t'pound!

Put this in Google translate: Unknown Britsh Dialect to American Hillbilly - it did not work!

Roughly it means "Goodness gracious. That lady is delightfully Rubenesque."

Bet that tickled.

d_Guy - it refers to the purchase of goods in this country by pound sterling, i.e were you buying said bosoms by their weight, they are so enormous you would not get many for your £1 - bloody convoluted or what!

[fsn]

Isn't it pounds weight? As in "if you purchased those by the pound, then there wouldn't be that many"?
