Thank you for the info. about the scale issue.

I thought it might be a problem, but was going to see what they compared like.

SV33 is a good shout  :-bd
Rimmer: "Aliens."

Lister: "Oh God, aliens... Your explanation for anything slightly peculiar is aliens, isn't it?

Rimmer: "Well, we didn't use it all, Lister. Who did?"

Lister: "Rimmer, aliens used our bog roll?"

I've never seen a photo, but hidden in the WW2 Russian range is SV33, "Wounded with female first aiders". I keep meaning to order a pack just to see what they're like, but keep forgetting!

Just did a forum search and found this on Kiwidave's post and blog - I think they're the right ones

Lovely painting.   :)

Personally think the beggar woman would make a better nun ;)
Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

Yeah, SV33 probably wouldn't look right as nuns, but I'm sure I could think of something for them ... as I'm also after the ww2 french refugees and they could all fit in together once painted.

Cheers all, once again.

What about SC13 Arab civilian range? The standing lady might work for conversion?
Sometimes I wonder - why is that frisbee geting bigger - and then it hits me!

Hi

If you're looking for a few for a one off scenario you could look at Preiser - they have Nuns with baggage and a Nun with children:-





Pricey but prepainted  :).

I have seen some Arab architectural type figure you could use but they are not very good  :(.

Cheers

They wear pink in Burma. It's rather cute. Light blue in Slovakia. White here in Thailand. And Japanese nuns like to relax playing football.
I don't drink coffee to wake up. I wake up to drink coffee.

Okay. So getting back to the bare, naked truth of our beliefs...

I'm looking for a woman. Clothing: Nun.
