As far as I can see she’s not holding anything in her left hand. It’s just a fist. I haven’t heard or even know of anything she was supposed to be holding. The figure consists of two parts of which the second part is her right hand with the sword. But if you want her to hold something, why not add a shield from the “weapon packs”? though I think that would outbalance her in her swift movement. 😆
Same comment as Master Theobald – nothing – I’ve always thought looking at this figure that she is kicking a door open or something similar, such violence!!
actually her left hand is a clenched fist holding nothing but put in some sort of “charging motion”… she’s looking behind her and motion for her fellows to “come’on! Charge!”
maybe a conversion turned back to prior conversion state in a “raw” way?
anyway all pictures I provided in the top right corner of my data sheets in the database are genuine, taken from Mithril (copyright) material and displayed with explicit authorization from Lars and Michael or Chris.
if one has to check for genuine aspect, you can find it here
There’s no problem, Master Gavin. I also was contemplating about this many years ago.
A miscast figure, as Master Barliman pointed out, is more than unusual.
Best is to try to rehearse such a move and motion against a closed door, as Master Gildor suggested. Doing that you will always hold up your left hand (in case you’re right-handed) to protect the body from debris splattering. – But to be honest, the pose must be meant as bringing down a taller being by kicking its “legs”. The knee being struck with one movement precisely will bring down your foe further more to your level, and while falling you find him with your ferocious movement (spinning) of the body to the final strike with the sword. The way swordmen do. Though … facing the invisible enemy she’s aiming at … must be so much taller than her … rhuoommm … I always hoped she’s not trying to behead a tree. Just see the pose, it’s a cross, rectangular and vertical, only the pose of the head reveils what she’s aiming for.
Well, I am going to assume its a mis-cast. It just looks like she’s holding something in his left hand. Whatever way the extra shape is attached, I am not sure I can get it off without wrecking the hand. I must consider this matter.
Well, Gavin, there sometimes are miscasts, as you like to call it. But of this one I am not aware. Though I would rather advise you not to not to sever the Lady’s hand. – Let me try to explain.
It’s possible that some parts of the sprew kept to the casting, which doesn’t mean that it was intended.
E.g. Yesterday I stripped a Lady … err … M10. I had her (badly) painted for many years. I did it myself, unlucky me. See, it was about to find out about the dagger. I was sure that the dagger was casted with the figure. After contacting The Man about three or four years age, he said that he couldn’t remember if there was a dagger attached with the figure. He told me that the only way to find it out is to have a very close look at the base, where usually minor parts are being placed for the moulds. – I saw that it was right. Clearly the dagger was casted with its pommel at the right foot of the figure. … Alas, I had to re-prime that Lady today. Anyway, that gives a better chance for a better painting.
I would like to add another question here … what are so-called “Master-figures”? I should know, of course, but are those the ones being casted to find out if the mould works? I dunno.
Hey, Master Gildor, you didn’t ask me about copyrights of the pics I provided … rhuoomm …
just joking … about copyrights … I’ll try to become serious again …. we’ll see ….
Hello Master Tree, to answer about “Masters” of mithril figures, they are the main figures (I believe) from which castings of regular relases were made. They are more rare than regular figures, but are not the moulds. Someone please correct me if I am wrong. I have a few of these and that is how it was explained to me. I don’t think more than one or a few exist for any single figure. I look forward to any other exlanation that is more complete.
Chris sculpts the Green. He uses the Green to produce the Mastermould, a mould for handcasting. With this mould he produces the Masters. These Master figures are used to produce the spinncasting moulds. I guess up to 30 Masters of a single figure are a common thing.
I have two masters too, but a master does not have any “rarity” if you don’t have the certificates of authenticity signed by Lars and Chris on special A4 paper for each of them… genuine certificates as detailed as a university diploma
I have two of them for M106 and M110 I think… I keep them preciously, even if I painted those minis already…
… does someone knows if they (figures) have bigger value with this certificate or is it just another failed marketing trick from the past…. Something like the limited LR edition with those card as certificate…. !?!?!
– I’ve always thought looking at this figure that she is kicking a door open or something similar, such violence!!
