My dad does, my brother painted up a lot of cowboys, indians, cavalry, etc for him. I don't have any pictures currently, but I'll try to get some next time I'm back home.

P, you might enjoy a trip forward in the Tardis to 'Wild Western Europe'...

A bloke told me in the boozer that he'd got all his old cowboys and Indians in boxes in the loft and if I fetched them I could have 'em. Four Cavalry forts, a working Prairie Rocket, a complete set of the original Britains Wild west buildings and hundreds of Britains Deetail figures, wagons, tepees, buffaloes and wotnot. A magnificent collection that's kind of become the Emporium's centrepiece.

I've found some old Airfix 1/32 Old West figures that I bought way back in the 80s and started doing some work on.

Does anyone know of a range of miniatures in this scale with separate weapons for sale?

One of my ongoing projects is The Magnificent Seven in 54mm (using Steve Weston's figures).  I'm waiting for my laser cutter to arrive to produce the buildings for it...

I only know of the old 'Swoppets' that came with separate (and rather crude) weapons.

And to answer my own question I found a company called HR Products who do suitable pieces http://hrprod.com/small_arms.html and Andrea Miniatures do a set with a Shotgun and Winchester Rifle.

Anyone else got any suggestions?

There were several 1/32-54mm games played at Enfilade this year. FFL, Custer's last stand etc. The rules were very simple because the target group was the younger kids.

Thanks for the inspiration from this post and a similar one on TMP - it's prompted me to root out my 54mm Western stuff. Amazingly, the (crappy) buildings I knocked together from flimsy plastic card 35 odd years ago have survived almost intact. Just a bit of work to make them more sturdy and they are quite useable, if a little second-rate.
