non Foundry James/Younger gang

[Ironworker]

Does anyone other than Foundry do the James/Younger gang?  The Foundry ones I've seen seem underscale with a lot of current lines.

Also does anyone do any Missouri Bushwackers or Kansas Jayhawkers other than Foundry?

Where are the Missouri Bushwackers  sounds ike a WWF Team  ::

What is wrong with the Foundry do the James/Younger gang ?
I use a lot of wild west figures from manny companys and my opinion is that when they painted they work all we together.

You could try Dixon Miniatures they have some figures wearing dustcoats, suitable for the Southfields raid. I think only the Foundry did Bushwackers/Jayhawkers.
Grimm - They were ACW militia units/armed gangs that raided the border areas between the north and south. Very dangerous groups! :twisted:
Check out "The Outlaw Josey Wales" with Clint Eastwood. It gives some idea of this.

"Ride with the Devil" isn't too bad either.

There is nothing wrong with the Foundry gang but they are a bit small.  I was just wondering if anyone else had done them.  I understand that some of the Foundry line has been re-sculpted with larger sculpts but I'm not sure which ones have been.    

The fighting between the Bushwackers and Jayhawkers was very nasty and started before the eastern war.  The war in Missouri was brutal and there was no real "front" because pro Union and pro Confederate towns were scattered all over the middle of the state.  Several of the "units" involved on both sides were little more than armed gangs out as much for revenge as anything although there were several actual military battles.  It was almost as if two wars were going on at one time.

That's sound like Border Rievers to me  :wink:

The James and Younger gang figures are from the later range sculpted by Mike Owen so will fit easily with the Artizan Old West line. Mike sculpted the Jayhawkers as well.  :wink:

The whole Foundry Range is ideally suited to replay 'ride with the devil'

Blue Moon Manufacturing has released a new Wild West Range.

The Minis are quite large, the fit between the Foundry Mike Owen ones and the Black Scorpion line.
Today I received some of them, they look much better than on their webside. They are casted quite well.

The painting on their webside is not so good, too large eyes in my opinion.

They also offer some minis they called The Younger Gang.

As you are from US Ironworker, you should easily get them.

Small hint to our colleges from Germany: You can get them from me, even if my shop is still in build up process, just PM me
