I’m building a model of a steampunk-y [flying machine](http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z256/hilbyf/Edwardian%20Aerial%20Housecar/file_zps7f8610d0.jpg), an Edwardian Aerial Housecar, and I’m thinking it needs a figurehead. What I’d like is an angel, or angel-like, figure, about an inch or so tall. The pose should be upright, feet together, arms out stretched, something like [this](http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2010/348/4/e/warrior_angel_by_burn86-d34v0ox.jpg). It seems to me that there ought to be something suitable in a wargame figure, maybe 25-28mm scale; but I know almost nothing about what’s available, and I lack the patience to flick through a bazillion miniatures pages looking for one. (This project is already taking quite long enough 😉 ) Can any of you miniatures gamers out there, you guys with encyclopedic knowledge of the field, point me toward something suitable? Nude is okay, sword is okay, prefer she didn’t have flowing robes (because they’ll be hard to work with). ---

(I should point out that the pose needs to be symmetric.) ---

Reaper Miniatures has the [Angel of Shadow](http://www.reapermini.com/Miniatures/Dark%20Heaven%20Legends/a-z/02961), which is relatively close. There’s also this Angel of Victory (link broken, she’s nude): [http://www.nobleknight.com/](http://www.nobleknight.com/) ProductDetailSearch.asp\_Q\_ProductID\_E\_2147393507\_ A\_InventoryID\_E\_2147653619 And an [Angel of Radiance here](http://www.nobleknight.com/ProductDetailSearch.asp_Q_ProductID_E_2147383324_A_InventoryID_E_2147866439_A_ProductLineID_E __A_ManufacturerID_E__ A_CategoryID_E__A_GenreID_E_). ---

[Celestine the living saint](http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?prodId=prod1090129) is already a steampunk angel. The model comes with the cape as shown, but is compatible with just about any wings (there is space on the side of her “backpack” where all sorts of things can be joined). [These](http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?prodId=prod1280034) are pretty. ---

Thanks to all for the suggestions; I’ve ordered a couple likely possibilities, and we’ll see how it goes! ---
