Title: Galloping Major Settlers
Post by: kingsmt on August 29, 2018, 08:45:27 AM

I've been working on this for a while. I couldn't get to the point where considered it finished, but this is now complete.
The figures are all Galloping Major sculpts, part of their excellent "Settlers" line.
Painted by Aaron of Pennsyltucky, who is an outstanding figure painter

I did all of the terrain, including the fencing. The thicket was made from rubberized horse hair, using the method described in my Thicket Tutorial.
The fence began life as a Lemax fence, that I took apart and reworked.
The tree stumps are a model RR product from Ebay.

I took a few fun pix with some attacking Indians, that I'll post later.

I agree with the previous posters - excellent job on the figures and the terrain both.  Thanks for sharing!

They look great, and I really like the colours you have used.

Those brambles along the fence line really make the piece. You can see the clear demarcation between settled land and the wilderness.
