Does anyone make a 25/28mm blacksmith figure?
My searches have all come to naught.
Thanks

There's this set from foundry

Or the one here from Reaper

They maybe more 'fantasy' - but a leather apron and hammer goes for all ages!

i think that the best blacksmith on the market is from the Guild of Armony:

Westwind make a ncie one in their Gothic Horror range in the village personalitites pack, but he is wearing a fez... Apart from that he would be fine for old west use, just do a head swap or remove the fez.

This is a nice blacksmith for a wild west game from the wargames foundry:

The Perry ACW field forge has a nice farrier making a horseshoe. He doesn't look noticeably military and would suit an Old West setting well I think.

Only problem is you have to buy the whole forge set to get him.

Maybe you can use the figures from this Perry ACW set…

Well, we're in "Old West" and I reckon a brimmed hat isn't going to look out of place there.

UPS! using the "recent" widget i often don't understand in wich section i'm in! :)

ok, probably a blacksmith forging a sword is not the most appropriate in the Old West, my apologies ^^
