Finemolds US Infantry Woman 1/12? scale

*bump*

I dug this old kit out, it has been a while since I touched her, and today was a good day to work on her as we did our demonstration at the USS Kidd.  I'm having a blast with her but the neck seam is just HORRID. I may cut the whole neck area out behind the Tshirt and add a long stump like newer generation heads.  Otherwise, the seams are easily filled with Magicsculp and she is about ready for paint. 

The web gear is pretty darned nice. It would look at home on a 1/6 scale figure. the -A2 is really small compared to the web gear but as you can see it is very tall for her. Hey, shes FUN remember? 

After my recent success with the Desert Storm trooper I will do her in DBDU as well.

Thanks for the link HeavyArty.

I have been trying to get my link/ photo inset button towork, but from my end those are still blurred out and I cannot seem to get right clicking to do anything for me.

I used to be able to post pics here fine, but no more. Apparentely there was a change  a while back....

Can women really be posted to frontline combat units?

I must not understand the posting process on this site.  The link posting icon in my header does not show, so apparently only some people can post links.  THanks for posting it Heavy Arty.

It is no longer in the header since the posting system changed recently.  All you need to do is copy the link url and post it directly into your reply.  Nothing special or any special privledges about it.

Sure you can post a link here. 

Here it is:  http://www.hfmodeling.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Sections&file=index&req=viewarticle&artid=145

Good luck.  Show us some pics when done.

Finemolds has a series of these figures, probably 6 or 7 total most from WWII.  Some are available at Great Mode;s

 They are kind of neat. I have one, a US Soldier from WWII.  

Regarding cholate chip BDUs, there is a tutorial on Armorama, I'd give a link but apparently can't here.

Go to www.hfmodeling.com then look under features, then under painting.
