Title: A new small - larger distraction u/d 28/4 "Chris - Magnificent 7"
Post by: Deedles on 03 January 2014, 09:18:55 AM: I was bought some rather nice 54mm figures for Xmas - could not resist getting into painting them. It's also got me thinking about doing a "small" ahem.. game with them. Sure in the loft somewhere i have a box of the Airfix cowboys to add to them. Madness i know but - when you get that itch - you gotta scratch it.

Both those big boys are lovely but the guy with the ponch, he's top class. Who makes these?

Post by: Elbows on 06 January 2014, 10:02:55 AM: Lovely paintwork there Deedles. I'd also be tempted to game with them, but the specter of 54mm terrain would be too much...unless I could source a bunch of toy soldier stuff ro cheap (we got my nephew a great Old West playset from New Ray for Christmas. Some not-bad stuff in there.

How did I miss these big fellas?

Great paintjobs on both, Deedles, but that poncho is rather special indeed.

Yeah.. Now hard can it be up upscale and do some simple MDF buildings eh.... I know someone who has a laser cutter who may be able to help. A few tents, scratch built , and easy enough to pick toy animals up...

Not planning on going too mad... He says.... I said that about the 28mm collection...

Once upon a time, many years ago, I converted some of those 54mm Airfix Cowboys etc, for Western Gunfight Games using some very nice handguns sold then, if I remember, by Hinchliffe. They looked good, I thought, I may come across them one day, packed away in a box. :)

Anyway, I then repented went back to 28mm (25mm then) for all the same reasons of practicality and scale ;)

Post by: Mason on 27 February 2014, 12:51:07 PM: Great stuff.
Nice colour choices.
:-*

Although I do feel that I should add that this is the skinniest version of that fella that I have ever seen.
More like a Diet-Duke.
;)

Painting is still top drawer, though.

Indeed it's definitely an "early" version - now if they only made a Rooster..

A keen eye, a good brush, a steady hand and lots of swearing..!!!!

Title: Re: A new small - larger distraction u/d 07/4 "Billy the Kid"
Post by: Gutbukkit on 07 April 2014, 11:09:36 AM: :-* :-* Another great addition. I almost bought most of these when I used to paint 54mm some years ago, but sadly I have no room to store such a large scale any more despite there being so many great 54mm figures on the market. Keep 'em coming :D
Title: Re: A new small - larger distraction u/d 07/4 "Billy the Kid"
Post by: Mason on 07 April 2014, 12:20:27 PM: Very nice, Deedles.
:-*

I am saving the larger scales for when my eyes cant handle 28's any more.
There are some lovely kits out there and you are certainly finding some good 'uns.
:D

Yep!
Please do.
