Title: TinMan's Gun Sprue
Post by: dinohunterpoa on July 15, 2017, 08:21:03 PM
Greetings!

Of course all hardcore Wild West LAFers already know it, but since I am pretty new on the subject, I would like to share the gorgeous Gun Sprue by TinMan Miniatures I've just discovered:

What a great find.  8)
I never knew that Tin Man sold these.  :(
I've now added them to my shopping list.  :D

They also have some very nice Western accessories in the same page, including the traditional bison skull for the saloon wall or ranch gate!

I may be partial, but I think everything TinMan does is top notch! Now let's just find a way to use their gorgeous naked princesses in our Western games!  :-*

EDIT> As snake vampiresses exotic dancers on The Horny Jackalope Saloon, of course! ;D

If Santanico Pandemonium is appearing at the Horny Jackalope Saloon then I'm definitely coming there!  :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*

By the way, I love that poster you showed.  8)

Vampifan, as I've already said: YOU'RE ALWAYS WELCOME, PARDNER!  ;)

I've found this poster in the www when searching for posters for the saloon (The Max Rebo Band will be one of the attractions); I also will put lots of "WANTED" posters all over my Wild West town, most of them from movies and TV series!  :D

Bandit, thanks for the feedback! It seems that most of the best Wild West figures nowadays are on the larger side of 28mm, so I think that TinMan weapons will fit nicely in the hands of fellows from Kunckleduster, Black Scorpion, Artizan, Reaper, Crusader and Dracula's America!  ;)

OK, I know this thread is originally about TinMan's guns, but...

Heresy Miniatures sells a pair of pistols with hands (both right and left):

AND they also have very nice figures to be used as Vampire Gunfighters - really easy conversions, since their hands come separately:

C'mon, that babe even comes with a BAT EMBROIDERY on her stylish trenchoat!

Those TinMan guns look great,shame they don't come with hands sculpted on,for those of us with poor greenstuff skills.

That's why some companies sell separate "generic" hands, so the conversion is a breeze!   8)

TinMan guns also would look perfect in a gun cabinet in a Sheriff's Office or in a Gun Store (every WW town must have a gun store!); you can also put the long arms in saddle holsters or strapped into a character by a DIY tape or greenstuff sling!
