In the obligatory practical executioner outfit of course.
What is the line around the skimpy Armour you often see on female fantasy figures..
"what it lacks in protection it make up for in distraction"

Nice job.. and an interesting 54mm figure.

Beautiful work!  It's clear he lost the coin toss, "Heads, you lose!"

Okay, I'll get my coat...

There must be an "Inverse Armour Law" that works like the "Inverse Ninja Law". On his own a ninja is invincible, in large numbers just random mooks for Our Hero to cut down. So by simple deduction, wearing so little armour it doesn't even count will guarantee impenetrable protection, whereas wearing a full plate over chainmail will cause you to die horribly the very moment the battle is joined. :P

I always think those that can do good work with figures are a real breed apart from your average modeler and this fatal beauty really proves the point!

I've only a basic idea of what all goes into finishing a figure model, but I find the shading most convincing. A case of "less is more" perhaps? Anyway, I could go down a real rabbit hole on technique but I just wanted to say that this killer babe would turn heads at any respectable show!

Many thanks everyone.

Brian thank you.  I still basically use the same techniques I used to use for wargaming figures.   Certainly not ready to try above 54mm yet,  but definitely having fun learning / trying new techniques with each figure.
