Annie Norman
- Born: UK.
- SOE Rank: Bad Squiddo Games Supremo.
My Fembruary SOE Agent number 2 is Annie Norman, the lady behind Bad Squiddo Games and producer of these fab little WWII agents. Of course, it’s another nicely sculpted figure by Rob Macfarlane.
The blue spotty dress design was borrowed directly from the figure painted by John Morris on the website which looked really nice but which was horrible to reproduce. Full respect to John Morris, and his fine job with the polka dots! Mine are a little more unevenly spaced, and it won’t win any print design competitions, but for my first polka dot dress paint job – well, it’ll do!
Painting Annie Agent’s glasses was interesting. The last pair I had to paint was at 20mm scale where a couple dots for eyes was about sufficient.
So, at 28mm I had to reveal a little more behind the lenses.
Finally, any good SOE agent is well-trained with a firearm for any high-tension moment when self-preservation becomes paramount.

More SOE Fembruary ladies to come…
Nice looking lady Marvin! Really like how you did those eyes and glasses. But also the dots on the dress!
Greetings

Wow Marv! She’s a beaut. I’m loving seeing your paint skills applied to 28mm. The dress the glasses and the face are extremely well done mate. Can’t wait to see more.

Thanks Nicola! Let’s just say that I’m relieved I don’t have an army of polka dot wearers to produce.
Exciting things happening over at Bad Squiddo.

Thanks Pete. 🙂 The dress was a copy of the one of the Bad Squiddo website, which I thought looks great with their paint job.
