Title: 40mm Old West figure collection
Post by: Evilcartoonist on December 13, 2007, 07:02:12 PM: OK, sorry, I'm just showing off a bit- but I finished painting all of my 40mm Old West figures and I feel like a little kid who wants to show everyone what I did :) I'll celebrate properly with a shot of rotgut at the bar tonight.

I'm a Sash and Saber stagecoach away from finishing the entire collection of figures, buildings, wagons and accessories. All of this is used for my Gutshot games.

Showing off is waht this forum is all about!

Thanks- They are all HLBS figures. They are from the 40mm Old West, Old West Townsfolk and Spaghetti Western ranges. Link:

(The horses are from Sash and Saber, by the way)

Post by: grubman on December 17, 2007, 03:09:08 AM: Holy crap those are cool, awsome paint job and a great scene! Now I want to actually see a 40mm figure in real life to see just how big they are.

They are so well painted you get this impression they are GI Joe doll size (even though 40 mm lets you know how big they are) ...but really they aren't that much larger at all.

What's really funny is that when I first looked at the (size comparison) pic I was wondering why you took the picture with the figs sitting on the floor, since I saw people in the background...untill I realized those were other figures on the table in the background :oops:
