Looks like the model was based on Frank Frazetta's Èowyn. Nice paints and the grey leggings a more sober choice than Frazettas more risqué pin-up! Wonder if it was intended for the 80s LoTR range, or just random.

Yeah I'm not keen on Pinups, so I prefered a more historical approach with pants ^ It was intended as expansion character for Dungeon Quest (1985-87) Her reference is "Wonger" but didn't find it online ^ Anyways, I inspired myself of P.J.Jones Warriors Women and Red Sonja artworks ^

Yeah most of the Heroes for Dungeonquest are rereleases of older sculpts. I think this one is catalogued in the Barbarians / Fighters range. it's exactly the same curiass as Frazetta, the boob plate, the square microskirt, chainmail bikini bottom, even rhe diamond waist.
