That terrain is amazing! OMG, as the kids say. You must provide regular reports on your games...I would love to see your marvelous minis in action on this stunning scenery!    :-* :-* :-*

Many thanks for your efforts, as not only are they delightful eye candy, but they continue to bring back very warm and nostalgic memories.

Found this image on Jon Provost's website, (he played Timmy on the Lassie show):



That's Clayton Moore (the Lone Ranger, my all-time favorite hero, and my LA avatar), Lassie, Jack Wrather (producer of all 3 shows), Jon, and Dick Simmons as Sgt. Preston.

 Forgive me but I can't resist providing another image.  ;D

As you know, Snapcase Old Fruit, I’m pursuing a Mountie project of my own currently. But I have to admit, I’m a stranger to the obviously iconic Sergeant Preston - I must correct this gap in my knowledge.

I do have fond memories of this chap, however:

oabee, keep posting, all images welcome! I found this picture whilst googling images.



I used to watch the Lone Ranger when I was a kid but I'm not sure if we had Sergeant Preston in the UK? I don't remember watching it anyway, so catching up now on YouTube, there's loads of episodes on there.

Doug, me too. One of the constables will be called Benton Fraser and one of the malamutes (there's more coming, Malamute) will be Diefenbaker. Looking forward to seeing your Mounties, hopefully mounted with lances?

Thanks, Steve.   :)

Managed to finish villain number two. Pepé Le Pew is on his way to rendezvous with Mad Jack at the cabin. Pepé is so named as he takes minimal trouble with regard to his bathing habits. When the trappers hit Dawson City with gold in their pockets, most take a bath and a shave before hitting the town. But not Pepé, he always heads straight into Diamond Tooth Gertie's place. He wonders why the croupiers and dealers hold their noses when he's playing! Still, as long as he has gold in his pockets he's welcome!

Thanks, Sinewgrab. I have another jacket planned for the next one if I can keep a steady hand!   ;)

No, I think I used Foundry Mackinaw paint!   ;)

I have managed to finish my Mounties which are part of a small project I am working on called 'The Scarlet Patrol'. I now need to finish some trappers/whiskey smugglers/gun runners for them to track down and arrest. Here they are on the trail of Mad Jack McMad, who so far, has managed to elude them in the snowy wilderness of the Yukon. But the Mounties always get their man...
