Click on the thumb nails for bigger pictures. These are from Blaze Away

Also Eureka do a Ned Kelly on a Penny Fathing Bicycle- if that's your thing.

That said these Blaze Away minis aren't teh best sculpts in the world. Making your own Ned Kelly wouldn't be to hard, just a bit of green stuff, or even head off a suitable knight model, stuck onto a suitable western model, and your good to go. Aborigional models, I suspect, would be a bit harder to find.
Theres more 28mm Superhero Madness at my blog, http://fourcoloursupers.blogspot.com/

Yeah I'm familiar with the Eureka Miniatures company. They've got some really nice models for cheap. Thinking of adding some of their Soviet gas masked figures to my post apocalyptic project I am also working on.

As for Ned Kelly I will no doubt convert my own.

I've got that Eureka Ned Kelly, one of my alltime favourite figures of all time  ;)

Who makes the others?

Great paintjob on the Black Scorpion, that's an excellent brown/grey combo  8)
Well I've lead an evil life, so they say, but I'll outrun the Devil on judgement day.

Got any suggestions for clubs or places in Sydney that are into Legends Of The Old West?

I'm not really sure about that. But Greywolf and Starkadder have both mentioned a group in Annandale, unless I'm mistaken? I've never had a chance to check it out yet!

I do work in North Sydney, but there isn't anything up there aside from a GW and you won't get much LOTOW in there!

The only other places would have been The Tin Soldier on York St (now closed for renno) and Good Games near Central Station (but its mostly guys playing card games).
