Perhaps this entry should have been titled Lady of Port Largo since I only have one miniature ready for the blog at this point. But to keep the titles of the ongoing series symetrical, I guess I'll leave it in the plural form. Anyhow..... although this miniature is destined to serve as a character in my Legends of the High Seas campaign, just like the barkeep a few weeks ago, she is well suited for use in a number of settings from fantasy to medieval and even into the closing stages of the last century. I have no doubt that I'll get quite a bit of use from her.
The miniature is from Fenryll and is part of their Villagers line. She comes in a blister containing three minis, all of which are well-sculpted and suitable for gaming. She scales well with Reaper miniatures but not so well with Black Scorpion, which comprises a large part of my pirate collection. That's OK though. She is to be used mainly as a background piece and not so much as a character, unlike some of the previous Ladies of Port Largo entries.
Although I did just say that the model is nicely sculpted, there is a problem with the eyes. It may be difficult to tell from the photo, but the recesses are definitely offset. I tried to cover the flaw with paint but the raised areas only showed the flaws in a unflattering light more readily. I suppose I could have taken a very very very small file and and removed the sockets but I lack both the skill and the patience, so she will remain as is. Still, she is a wonderful miniature and I'm quite happy with her. Now I need to go and create a proper background for her so that she can join the campaign.
Very nice job. The eyes look fine to me.
