Red Sonja - A little bit of sword practise

So, I needed a distraction yesterday and today... Got bored with tidying up the attic. So took a few images of Red doing a little sword practice... Location is a little ecology park that my wife is an Assistant Warden in, for a volunteering job. Interesting they have a little stone circle... Nothing historical, hysterical... It is all man made, and quite small. It is really designed to be used as seats...  

So, here's just a bit of messing around really....

OK, Ready...


Someone about to attack, ready to draw...


Draw the sword out...


Prepare for a frontal attack..... And.....


Strike!!!!


Finally, flick the blood off the sword....


Didn't bother with the resheath pic.

That outfit is probably the most expensive outfit I have.... LOL... Of course, I am joking! My friend Min made the cloak, and the rest of the outfit is, urm.... Plumber's tape. 

Oh, I did have to pay for the arm guards that are from Assassin's Creed, and the sword with the sheath. Oh, I forgot, the sandaled feet are from another Phicen character, I think the Gladiator, but I didn't buy that, just the feet with the sandals. Unfortunately, even though they are for a Phicen, they keep coming off, and look a little on the small side compared to her normal feet. I may try to heat them up with a hair dryer and see if they go on a bit better then. Something else to do, in amongst the tidying, and sorting out.... 

Hope you liked the little photo shoot...

I’m really liking the pictures of Red Sonja doing a little bit of sword practising. I’m liking the real ecology park in the background that you computer graphics Red Sonja in.

Great shots and great figure, Colin.

Fun, colorful images!

Now I really want to try that plumber's tape costuming trick! Might be time for a Teflon toga party!

Alex… Thanks.. It’s a lovely park, especially on a nice sunny day.

Gary, I do like Red, especially with the scars.

Dave, I’ve done another plumber’s tape outfit. I’ll have to take a picture or two tomorrow, and show it off too.. You can get a couple of widths of that tape. The thin is around ½ inch, the bigger is ¾. I can’t remember the exact dimensions, but I originally thought the thinner would be better, but actually, I am liking the thicker stuff. Just make sure you get ones with WHITE plastic reels. The blue gives off colour onto Phicens. I noticed that on my first attempt. Wasn’t a lot, and after a day it cleared without any OXY10. Just thought I’d warn you. Also, I found if I put my finger on the tape on the spool, it would unwind onto the figure better then keeping the spool away from the body. If that makes any sense…

Great pics Colin, Sonja looks right at home
