Here's my version of "BFG16 - Calamity Jane - Wild West Legend" which I've painted to use with my Dead Man's Hand Desperado Gang.
I kept the 'conversion' simple - a straight forward paint job over the bared torso. I didn't alter the stock figure in anyway, then people can see how simple it is to alter the bare-breasted figure, if they prefer.
I've one last figure to paint for the gang, then I'll take a group shot - and then people can see how the Belt Fed Girl sizes up alongside a Great Escape, Artizan, Ironclad and several Foundry figures.

Shouldnt she be on the Top Totty thread? :)
Very nice ly painted Roy.
Nice paint job Roy :-bd :-bd
Very good job, Roy.....Most impressed.
The only thing I don't quite understand is the 'collar'.
Did you not add a bit of putty for that ?
Cheers - Phil
Thank you all :)

The original sculpt features raised collar bones, so I simply utilised them to make a collar.
Here's the photo of the original paint job that Colonel Bills uses from their website. [I don't know who painted the miniature.]

I'll admit that my solution isn't perfect, but its got the job done - Though, whatever it is I've painted (I'm not quite sure, except its clothing) isn't historically accurate [I've already been told, by The Internet].
The argument over clothed or unclothed is something that Stuart (Col. Bill) and I were discussing the other day, but he says that 'topless' female miniatures sell better than clothed. So its a case of economics.
I prefer the dressed version!
That is very odd. :)
In your clothed version, Roy....The 'collar' looks too high to be raised collar bones. (To me)
But in the 'firm's' topless version...They look absolutely fine as collar bones.
Oooer !

I hadn't actually noticed the collar bones until you mentioned them :D
As a figure I prefer Artizan's rather less pneumatic Eliza Stone to this one.
But as a paint job that's great!

That's the last figure I've got to paint for my gang. There's the five seen below, the model from this topic, and Eliza Stone.
A leader with pistol. A gunfighter with two pistols. Three with pistols. A shotgun. A rifle.

Aye, "She wouldn't fall on her face if she fell over" as my old mother would say.
Personally, I reckon the company who cast the figure added a bit onto the proportions while they had it. Leon...?! ;)

Me too.
Never quite understood the half naked models anyway. Whats the use? (to each his own, just my opinion)
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.
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 ;D ;D ;D

Auto-correct on my error for precedent.
Here's what Stuart has posted on Facebook:
QuoteWe 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!] ;D
My contribution to the suggestions is Roman Gladiators :O)

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 :)

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!
Isn't it pounds weight? As in "if you purchased those by the pound, then there wouldn't be that many"?
I'd always thought that, Nobby.....But I stand ready to be corrected.
I thought the expression was "You don't get many of those to the pound."
Discuss, Team. (Except Orcs...He's banned from joining this discussion.)

Interesting - here, regardless of units, they would have a "USDA approved" stamp affixed.
Pound weight not pounds sterling.
As in:
"Pears - thruppence a pound!"
"Cor! Lookit the size o' them pears! Not many of those to a pound!"
I'm fond of a nice pear myself ;)
Yeah, probably, whatever.
I wonder about regional variations though.
Cheers - Phil
Yup, pound as in weight..... ;D
Well yes - not many in the lb, and not many for a pound, but you're right folks, it is "to the lb."
Finally finished the gang of 7 figures - its only taken since last Summer. That's fast! :D

Got to finish off the Frostband figures, next.
Compared to my current painting rate that's like greased lightning!
Nice looking bunch too. Particularly like the lady in pink.
My own Wild West languishes in the ever growing lead pile. Alas my diminished enthusiasm for painting is not matched by a decrease in enthusiasm for acquiring new shiny for future projects - doh!
Nice work
:-bd =D> :-bd =D>
Very nice work, Roy !
Cheers - Phil
Thanks everyone.
Only reason why I got these finished (and have motivated myself with the Frostgrave) is in case I need to use them, if bodvoc wants a game. They'd probably be gathering dust if the lure of a game wasn't there :( [or sold off on eBay]
[I'll shove this in here, too]
Here's an example of the (not long ago released - I've had it since before release, but didn't pull my finger out and get it photographed. Whoops!) Belt Fed Girl, Dolly Mop. A Victorian / Steam Punk Harlot.
Link to where you can purchase (an unconverted) Dolly Mop (http://shop.colonelbills-store.co.uk/epages/4f27da57-42ee-48c0-9cb8-22c9dd921a68.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/4f27da57-42ee-48c0-9cb8-22c9dd921a68/Products/BFG20)

There's still a bit of work to do tidying up the greenstuff work - using a new scalpel blade to clean the edges of the cobble stones etc, and maybe try to work some definition into the nipple tassels.
Yes, this is the second Belt Fed Girl miniature that I've converted to cover up the naked breasts. I've nothing against nudity in figures, nor specifically any complaints with the sculpts ... In this case I just envisioned the miniature wearing nipple tassels, to complement her corset and stockings and other frilly fancies.
Hopefully, I'll have it painted within the week.
Are those two gun barrels you've stuck to her front?
I thought they looked like two, long saggy nipples, to be honest.
I'm hoping they paint up better than they currently look.
surely a steampunk girl would haver some kind of firing mechanism tucked up her jumper, so to speak.
I did look to see if I could sculpt a gun in her hands, but that would have been a major undertaking so I didn't bother.
I tidied up the greenstuff last night with a sharp scalpel blade (cutting away excess on the base and creating demarcation definition between the tassels and the 'cup' on the breasts). The model's now primed and undercoated, and hopefully I'll start painting today. I've got to get it finished for Saturday, and then I'm picking up 40mm figures to look at using them as Dark Age skirmish gaming.
WIP Belt Fed Victorian Harlot & FIBUA Frostgrave board
Progress on the Belt Fed Miniatures: Dolly Mop (Victorian / Steampunk Harlot) has taken the form of this, so far - base sculpted, nipple tassel conversions, primed and undercoated, base colours applied, shading washes applied.
(https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TztjQyE5_fA/Vvqjp7z3zoI/AAAAAAAAFUo/QwjFuvEo6DMvP_bjJ6xMRLOAIxBDGxZog/s1600/WIP_Shots1.jpg)

Games Workshops Agrax Earthshade shading wash applied to the figure
Nuln Oil shading wash applied to the base.
Next task will be to layer on either the same base colour paints, or slightly contrasting, lighter tones of paint atop the raised parts of the sculpt. Leaving the shaded areas darker.
Might have to have a look at that left eye - it looks bigger than t'other.
We won't get into the old "should we paint eyes on figures?" debate.
Is that why they call her Isaiah? ;-)
Looking really, really good, Roy ! :-bd
Going back a few posts...You might find a suitable gun in Hasslefree's accessories range.
They certainly do modern & sci-fi 'rifles' for 30mm figures.....I think I've spotted a 'sprue' of handguns. :-\
(30mm IS what these figures are, isn't it ?)
Cheers - Phil
Or sculpt the handle of a derenger protruding from somewhere?
Having eyes of slightly different sizes is quite normal (or so I keep telling myself).
For Western style revolvers try Heresy Minis

Cheers for the information on the guns :)
I might, one day, give it a go. It would mean a little bit of work, where I'd have to cut a hand from where its attached to the body and then resculpt some detail, but its not outside of my abilities. This figure needs to be handed over to Col. Bills on Saturday [Deadline! :'( ] and then I'm getting some of his 40mm to see what I can do to promote them.
Size-wise. Er, yes, they're definitely not 28mils. I don't know exactly what size they're labelled as, but they're taller than the average figure. So 30mm is a suitable label.
I really shouldn't keep altering the stock miniature with my own conversions, though ;D
Re: Derringers. I did suggest a 28mm Pinkerton lady detective with a derringer -type pistol. The miniature possibly sculpted in a 'disguise' of fashionable female clothing as opposed to the long duster overcoats Pinketon models are normally depicted wearing. Having just the 'handle' showing from the cleavage is something I wonder if it would be possible. Or having the pistol held beneath a garter, with the miniature raising her skirts to retrieve it, that's another idea for thought ... I'll have to win the lottery and ask if I'm allowed to have some figures sculpted.
I've been watching The Pinkertons on freeview :)

Stroll on, Roy.
Definitely NOT beyond your capabilities.
If you want to make a 'custom made' small hand gun, as a 'flat'.....(Assuming the other side is going to be hidden against the model)....Simply mix up a small quantity of green stuff.
Stick that on a piece of plasticard, or similar. Flatten it down on to a width of, perhaps, 1 mm.....Let it set......Draw your gun, to scale, with a fine marker......Add some more putty within the lines, on what is to be the shown side, to make it three dimensional.....Let that set..Thoroughly.
Cut it out with a sharp scalpel.
Peel or scrape it off the plasticard.....Job done.
That is a somewhat over simplified method, I'll admit, but it should work.
Cheers - Phil
Yes, you missed the bit about slicing into your thumb.
Is it some sort of blood sacrifice to the Dark Lord and the djinn of the Green Putty? :-\
I was cutting aluminium from a can of pop, to make a 'former' for one of the models, on Monday, Nobby.
If I'd slipped then...... X_X
You should be proud of me.
Cheers - Frodo of the (still) ten fingers.
Thank you for the information Techno. I'll keep it saved on file for when needed.

Apart from the skin tones needing their second and third contrasting layers, and I might work on the blues of the feather and garter belts, maybe a highlight on the red of the nipple tassels' cups, that's the work about there, completed.
All ready for more work, come Saturday. Yay ... Groan! ;-)
All I've been doing is painting on diluted layers of paint, so I'll just let the photo's do the talking.
There is some spots of shiny, in places. Its the sun reflecting off a glossy bit of paint, which should vanish with a coat of varnish .

Dolly Mop the Harlot 'Finished & Ready for Business!'* [Belt Fed Girl]
*Or, it can now be handed over to Stu at Colonel Bills on Saturday, at the Tees Con wargames show.
This is a [converted] example of BFG20 Dolly Mop - Victorian Harlot, from the Belt Fed Gaming range produced by Colonel Bills Wargames Depot.

Its when you buy one of the rules books that feature full A4 page size images of close up photographs of a Kevin Dallimore's work. Wow! I've got the Daisho (Samurai) rules book and the photo's of Kevin's work is awe inspiring. You can count about 7 different contrast layers of paint, smoothly applied.

I'll be passing it over to him, but we haven't decided what is happening with it. Maybe sold on. Maybe used for display, as a 'converted example'.
Possibly, I'll be given another of the sculpts to paint up for display standard. But I'm not to mess around with the stock miniature with any of my conversions :D
She's turned out really good :-bd
Thank you. I only hope the varnish doesn't ruin it [fingers crossed!]
