Wow   :-* :-* :-*

Really, really nice. Coincidentally I’m at this moment cleaning up the Artizan minis in the top pic.

They're easy figures to paint Steve, but don't tell Nick  ;)

Especially like the mounted scout and and his horse but all are wonderfully painted. 

And it illustrates one of our challenges in painting figures.  Some of those bright colors would sure stand out as targets which probably isn't how it was - but how do you get variety in figures if you don't reach into those vibrant colors?  I'd get tired of painting too many muted pastel tones.

Yeah, I'm painting Hollywood more than history, I think we all are really.

Cheers chaps or aho dekee as Geronimo would say (if he'd learned some Apache words off the internet  :D)   8)

Wow! Never thought that Dixon torture vignette could look so good!  Where did the mounted cavalry scout come from? Also Dixon?  Don't suppose any of this is going on eBay is it? Is this commission work or for your personal hoard? Very nice job!

He's  the Texas Ranger from Gorgon Studios, he also comes in a dismounted version, excellent figure.

They're Malamutes' so they won't be going on ebay.

Cheers Ax  :)

Lucky Malamute! I actually was wondering about the mounted Indian scout. Where’s he from?

Cheers

Yeah, he's a Dixon, on a Artizan horse I think.

You didn’t photograph him or the dismounted Apache scout. So here they are:

The Apache has had a fair amount of Greenstuff work done to make him look more appropriate . Sack coat, Sgt stripes, cartridge belt and breech clout. Very pleased with the way he turned out.

Chris,
Your Apaches look properly menacing! I am sure that they would approve lol lol When I saw the title I was wondering if we were going to be seeing a bunch of Parisian street urchins and low lifes :D It might be a good trick to play on Nick ( but I doubt that he would pay)
