Thanks John - you should see the size ofthe unpainted pile  ::)
I'm actually finding that at the moment by hopping between projects I'm being moderately productive - most of the incentive for re-starting/switching between painting projects comes from new releases or seeing interesting things on eBay. (Although after reenactment training I do have a sudden spike of painting viking age figures for a day or two before trailing back off to what ever my previous interest was)

I've not done much on my Quar or Modern African stuff recently  :-I I am just keeping my fingers crossed for more exciting new releases to kick them back into gear....

Nicely done, I always wanted to do a weird film I caught once, think it had richard harris in it where they ahd a group of mountain men dragging a small ship overland being attacked by indians. I think Harris was mauled by a bear at one point?

Yup fully agree on the quar I have too many but await more ;D

Man in the Wilderness (1971) with Richard Harris and John Huston
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067388/

It's based on a true story and is a good film.

Other people in the cast include James Doohan (Star Trek), Dennis Waterman (Minder) and Norman Rossington (Reginald Perrin).

It was on UK terrestrial TV a week or so ago.

Great stuff as always, you have serious collection now. Great to see the "Come and take it Gun" as well. :)

Cheers Nick - trying to clear some space/conscience room ready for your next release  lol
Atleast with the new ones being dismounted I should make better progress with them than I have wiht he rest of my BH stash (One of the original aims of the project was to get me past my dislike of painting horses, in much the same way as the moderns got me past my dislike for painting camo... except that it hasn't worked so well, and I just end up gritting my teeth and painting horses slowly!  lol)

i find, thats a great idea to play at this time in the old west   :o

in my impression the most people plays at the period of the western
movies, like the magnificient seven, red river, the searchers, rio bravo and so on...
i'm no exception, because i like it so much.

your ambition is very good. nice figures.



excuse me for my terrible english, i do my very best...

Thankyou :) Your English is fine - and certainly better than my German!

I do like the movie 'Golden Era' wild west as well, but I fancied something a bit different - this was originally going to be a small side project, but it kept growing!

but the problem is, that my english is not much better than my swedish...

one reason why i'm here, is to get excercise in english...
in school, the english leasons were six years of horror...
but now i do my best.
