Marshals Bass Reeves and Grant Johnson
« on: September 20, 2020, 07:25:38 PM »
Born to slave parents in 1838 in Crawford County Arkansas, Bass Reeves would become the first black U.S. Deputy Marshal west of the Mississippi River and one of the greatest frontier heroes in United States history. Another standout was Grant Johnson, who though largely forgotten today was a respected lawman in Indian Territory for more than two decades. The police work he performed with Reeves was quoted to me as being legend. In the analogy of the Lone Ranger, Johnson could have been Tonto.

Nice work.  Are the figures just painted to represent the historical figures, or actual charter models?

I painted them to look like the historical figures but Grant does have a marshal's badge. They are from Knuckleduster.

 Nice work on these.

 There was a program on the TV about Bass Reeves,which was very good.It did say that he could not read and used some tricks to capture fugitives.
