Title: Axe Wielding Abraham Lincoln
Post by: weirdwest on 20 May 2012, 02:57:18 AM: (http://robertsongames.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/IMG_2520.jpg)

Here is the first of our new Weird West Miniatures (http://www.indiegogo.com/Weird-West-Miniatures) - an axe wielding, vampire hunting Abraham Lincoln! Ian Mountain did the sculpting on this and will be doing the rest of our Weird West series of miniatures -- as long as we get to our IndieGoGo campaign's funding goal in the next 12 days!

George Washington was a vampire hunter too?

That's why he chopped down the cherry tree: he needed it to make stakes (and an extra set of teeth - if necessary, he'd chomp through the heart of a vampire).

@thebinmann: He's the same scale as Ian's other miniatures (Crooked Dice etc) but a bit taller to account for Abe's height in real life. I'll find out the exact height (he's currently in England and getting ready for his trip to Canada).

Didn't he make a set for Capt. Ahab too?
