Reaper Chronoscope Agatha Fox

Another miniature finished from off of the paint table this week, Agatha Fox by Reaper miniatures. Sculpted by Andrew Rae its a fantastic sculpt which I've admired for a good while and eventually picked up I think sometime late last year. I really love the style of the clothing it fits in so well with any number of settings all depending on the paint scheme. I love the fact that she is sneaking out a pistol out of her handbag behind her back as well it all adds to the sneak spy vibe. Agatha is a bit smaller than most other Reaper sculpts some of my Zombie Survivors tower over her where as all my other stuff such as Crooked and Hasslefree match up really well.

There is another female spy (well could be any setting) sculpt by Andrew Rae for Reaper an Astrid Berger I shall certainly have to add her to my collection as well seeing how nice this one has painted up. 

Andrew Rae is the guy behind Statuesque miniatures I sadly missed out on some of his other sculpts he did that were superspies or pulp/sci fi noir as they've now been discontinued. I shall have to make an effort to get some of his S.O.E Kill team before the go the way of the dodo as well!








Here she is with Hasslefree Alexander as you can see slightly smaller. I now realise that though not intentionally exact colours wise but Agatha would make a good Agent Fields the agent who intercepts bond at the hotel in Quantum of Solace!

  1. Good spot on Agent Fields, Simon. You're absolutely right. Even so, Agatha is a great figure in her own right. I recently acquired her as part of my Reaper Bones II package. Now I know how I'll be painting her. :)

    1. Yes indeed I kind of just paint her in a 60s/70s scheme I chose at random but it amused me when looking through my pinterest images today and spotted agent fields and though OMG! must of been something subconcious :)

  2. Lovely lady agent, Simon. Fine brushwork on an equally nice sculpt. The handbag and pistol are really sculpted nicely.

  3. Excellent. She's on my painting table also, but as a Reaper Bones mini.
    Primed and ready for paint.

    1. Thanks! I can't help liking the heft of metal. Anything resin or plastic makes me come over all wibbly when I pick it up afraid I'm going to damage it.

  4. If she's available in the Bones retail line at some point I'd definitely pick one up. Good colour choices too.

    1. Thanks very much. I presume its will be available soon. Judging by fellow bloggers posting it seems it was part of the latest bones project.

  5. Very petite Simon, and a terrific paint-job to boot. Not sure I have this mini so you've definitely made it an attractive one to keep an eye out for (as with your previous posting) :-)

  6. She would be a perfect fig for one of the characters in our James Bond rpg game. Very well done.

  7. I totally like how you have painted her. The white boots have a great 60s vibe to them really spyfi and really spiffing! TO my eye better than Agent fields, much better.

  9. great painting! The figure is really nice but i am surprised (and pleased!) that she is smaller than normal for reaper as they do tend to tower over other ranges of figures. I, too, prefer the heft of metal over plastic or bonesium. I will have to keep my eye out for this figure.....

    1. Thanks Chris. Yes I much prefer metal over plastic and resin. I was pleasantly surprise I was expecting her to be the same height as most my other minis.

  15. I'm a fan of Andrew Rae's sculpts as well, though I'm more familiar with those sold by Crooked Dice than with this one. A very nice model!
