Open range is one of my favourite modern westerns.  Good minis Paul.

Will you be venturing in Spaghetti Westerns or leaving that to the likes of Knuckleduster?

The complete lack of good plains Indians miniatures is a great place to redress, that and the coast of high chaparral!

I didn't realize they could see the sea.

It was a well kept secret. Buck Cannon had a yacht out the back of the house. ;)

Personally I am not a great fan of Spaghetti Westerns but some will probably venture into the range.  ;)

No love for James Garner?

Maverick is a deep hole to get into as you'll need three versions - Garner, Moore, and Gibson (or four if you include Tom Cruise; that will be a big set if you include his motorbike, never mind the Tomcat).

I had great hopes for this range, but sadly don't like the sculptors style. The same goes with his ECW range. Paul Hicks would have been the perfect choice. I know Mr Hicks is extremely busy and it must be hard to hire him, just I think it would have been worth the wait.
For a range like this to work the figures must facially look like the actors, these just don't cut the mustard for me. I know it's just my opinion and Empress do some excellent ranges but I had to say it.
Please be kind 😂

I have to admit (at the time) to having been a fan of the Virginian (however I had forgotten everything about it including Doug McClure).

Now I wonder about Ed Harris, Evan Rachel Harris and James Marsden (and some ultramoderns with P90s)...

Really nicely staged picture Paul, where did you get the cacti?  :D

Cheers Lance.

Re the Cactus I typed it into Ebay and some popped up. A chap was digitally printing them and they were actually very nice.  ;)

Very nice, I have quite a lot of plastic ones waiting to be put together and painted, but none of the big "pointing out the way" types as yet.  :)

A bit of a preview.

Just checking scale and build for a near future release in our Wild Bunch range.

The horses are not the correct ones and were simply used for scale checks. The ones to be used will be galloping.

Beautiful work on the coach by Richard Humble.

May I add a suggestion to the list of “wouldn’t it be nice to have”.

Most western films have the simple flat buckboard wagon in them. Look so nice to add to my town.

Nice, no idea what I would do with it, but nice.

How does it compare in length with the long Renedra bases (230mm x 50mm)?
