Hi all,
This vignette has always been in our “must do” list and it’s our “small” tribute to one of the best westerns ever.
We have tried to capture the essence of the characters and film, and be able to share it with all miniature painters and fans of this movie and our sculptor Jose Hidalgo has done a terrific work to achieve this (check Duke’s face!!)
Thank you for your support,
Saludetes

We'll find 'em in the end, I promise you. We'll find 'em. Just as sure as the turnin' of the earth.


Magnificent! Just bloody amazing. I think my favourite western. John Wayne's best role, perhaps: Dark, nuanced, a tormented scumbag, but still likeable.  Mildly puzzled as to why it was called Centauros del Desierto in Spain, mind. :)



Let's go home, Debbie.

Nice sculpts, but man those are pricey compared to the other options out there.  :-[  Shame too as my 2017 project is...mounted figures.

I wish we could sell them cheaper but believe me, it's not a viable option. To find sculptors who can actually sculpt figures with  realistic proportions and with this quality and with affordable prices for us is really tough. I'm not boasting about our figures,  but I honestly  think there are no other comparable options out there right now.

In any case, thank you for your feedback Elbows.

I've ordered Ethan and Marty as I could not resist. The toy soldier style 'Let's go home, Debbie' is available as an unpainted 54mm casting...
one day I'll get it and see wot it looks like with a better paint job!

Oh no worries, I fully expect a company to make profit how/when they can, and to pay for the processes they need.  I know these aren't aimed at casual gamers.  I do find a shortage of quality mounted figures in 28mm, that's all!

Are 'The Wild Bunch' figures 28mm... seem to recall they were slightly larger?

 ???

Yes our wild bunch figures are a bit taller. (4m I recall).
These ones are the same size as the wargames factory plastic figures.
Here's a comparison shot
