 Tim Richards did a bunch of the Phollies.  He then went to Mascot Models where he did a similar ladies series, but a tad more risque than the Phollies.  Not sure where he went after Mascot or whether he's still there.

Phoenix usually had good stuff.  I have more than a dozen of the Phollies.

They also had some very talented sculptors .  I never got into their Follies line of provacative females, but I do have the complete Atlantis series, unpainted & in the original bags, in my stash.  Maybe I'll put those on ebay someday as I suspect they might be worth a few sheckles these days.

Thanks for looking & for the comments, much appreciated.

The figures came as a set & are some I had in my stash from years back.  They were released by a company called Phoenix, which I believe is long OOB.  They came as shown & were not modified in any way.  The log was something I added, it's actually real wood from a small branch I picked up in the back yard.  The kit showed the loose rifle for the seated figure resting across his knees, but I thought the log would look better & give more balance to the vignette.

Much to my surprize, this one took a First Place Award for figure vignettes at the recent IPMS Region 4 Model Show in Ohio.

Agreed, these figs look to be the results of years of practice. Very well done.

"I don't paint many figures"

 Looks like you paint one every day..  You are a very good painter! Very nice painted!

A clean and well excecuted vingnette. Sharp finish!

The sculpt and posing is pretty good and that always helps. Very nicely done little piece!

Figures do make a nice break form the norm do they not.

Go easy
