Title: Mounted 'Cowgirls'
Post by: Argonor on 18 October 2015, 10:52:46 PM
I thought I had asked this question around here, somewhere, but I cannot find the thread, so...

I have both the Chronoscope and Artizan versions of Sharon Stone's The Quick and the Dead character, but I would REALLY like to have mounted versions (or some usable as proxies).

I have not been able to find mounted female Old West models with appropriate attire, so if anyone knows anything about such minis, and can point me to them, I'd be much obliged!

(Come to think of it, mounted and dismounted models of Banditas would be nice, too)

Sorry, can't help in your quest - but I'd love to see a bunch of mounted cowgirls in 15 mm.  Well, some anyway.  And I'd love to see the return of some mounted men driving cattle with ropes in 15 mm.  I have four from the old Frontier Miniatures range (much missed range) but I'd love to find some more.  (If you have some of those Frontier roping cowboys in 15 mm that you don't want, let's negotiate!)

No 15mm Old West stuff in my possession. I'm afraid.

Not that I am interested in getting some myself, but what manufacturer(s) do(es) those? Maybe if enough ppl pester ask them politely about the subject, some would get done?

There are at least two mounted cowgirls in the Black Scorpion range.  I don't think either of them are meant to be the lovely Ms. Stone, but maybe some minor conversion.

I think there were a few in the old Westwind Cowboy Wars range that are now carried by Old Glory Miniatures. they come in packs of foot & mounted pairs. Women of the West 1 & 2, and Local Ladies 1 & 2. I have one or two of the Cowboy Wars packs, the sculpting looks a little dated but they're still very nice.

Thanks, 'Barbara Allen' might be convertable, whereas 'Miss Scarlett' is far too scantily clad for comfort.

Well, I may have to go that route if nothing else turns up...

I'll head straight o'er to have a look, thanks!

One other option is to cut the standing figure in half and then use it to replace the upper half of a different rider and green stuff over the gaps.

Of course proper women should be side saddle, but I don't recall ever seeing any figure but a Lady Godiva riding side saddle.

I'd rather avoid that kind of conversion - not too confident about my skill.

You mean, like these: http://hinterlandminiatures.weebly.com/store.html ?  ;)

I am pretty sure, any manly woman going all Calamity would ride like a proper cowboy, though.

Are any of the Dixon figures suitable? I think there are two or three in the wild west personalities section.

Thanks. Maybe - I'm not too sure about the quality of the Dixon faces, but I'll have another look.

Look towards the Old Glory Cowboy Wars range...they have several packs of mounted and dismounted women...
