Ya'all kilt some Cowboys!!!
« on: May 30, 2017, 03:07:16 AM »
Thanks to my pal 'hasbeen', Dead Man's Gulch, is just about sorted. With that in mind it's time to find out who's the head honcho in these here parts. Tuco and his gang of greaser scumbags are heading in from the north, Snake Eyed Pete and his border scum from the west, and Major Hampton-Gayblade (late of the 4th. Virginia Cavalry) as always from the south.
Only one bunch can rule the Gulch, Dolores Trollope's not bothered who, as her and her gals are each sitting on a gold mine!

Great stuff.  I've owned a lot of firearms in my day, and normally they're serious "work pieces" (i.e. modern, reliable, built with a purpose) but my favourite is a reproduction 1851 Richard-Mason conversion (shoots .38).  Something about a hexagonal barrel, blued finish w/ brass, single action...just wonderful.  It's the only "fun" gun I own.

A copy of the Colt Walker perhaps and a "more normal" service issue black powder revolver.  Both prior to the conversions of course.

Yep, the Colt Walker is made by Uberti. The brass framed Colt is just a monkey metal wall hanger given to me by the barkeep of our local saloon! The sixshooters and the Winchester are CO2 airguns made by Umarex.

Harry if i ever work out how to load pictures onto the LAF I'll show you the rest of the town.
It would fill out your table just fine, well at least once you took of the over-scale weapons (are
they Redoubt 28mm? lovely figures but BIG).
Also still waiting for your Boot Hill details, so that I may start work on it.

Additional Options...
If you click on it a box comes up with 'Attach' select 'choose file' and this will bring your computer's documents/pictures up. Then you can add a picture, or more by clicking on 'more attachments'.
I know, first hand, the standard of the modelling your Wild West stuff and would love to see some piccys on here. As regards Boot Hill, I'm still thinking about wot I want, can't decide between low adobe walls round it, or that excellent broken down fencing you do!

Cheers Harry - they both look the business, had a look at the uberti site, very tempting, always liked the hex barrel on the Colt navy.
