Gold Panners from Copper Mine Miniatures [TRADE]
« on: September 22, 2016, 09:07:10 PM »
I have commissioned a pair of Gold panners from Meridian Miniatures based on photographs on True West Magazines Facebook page. I have added a couple of details like the guns and knives to make them more fun, the multi barrel guns are based on period pieces as well.

First chap




Second Chap




The master will hopefully be with me in the next couple of days and once I have a few other bits sorted out will go off for master casting. So hopefully they will be on sale in the next couple of months.
Regards
Richard

Based on the size of the finger in the photo it is abundantly clear your sculptor really, really messed up.  These aren't in 15 mm!    :o

Should have added that they are 28mm

Oh, sure, you're going to cave and leave the sculpts in this size just to please these "one true scale" lot rather than correct your sculptor before casting them in the "one proper scale".   lol

Great looking figures.
I have not done much with my western stuff in years.
But I really plan to buy these figures when they are for sale.

Yep me too, some musings and conversations over the weekend have inspired me to press on with a long time planned Apache game next year and these are a must have.

Let us know as soon as they are available. What else do you have planned?
