Any plans for further vehicles as I think a water tanker would fit right in.
 ;)

Mark's doing a sidecar when he gets a spare moment. Apart from that, no specific it's just looking out for something I think will work.  Next up will be conversions of the 3 riders; hats on and weapon/arm swaps

Because this is such a wonderful thread, I feel bound to share some inspiration with you.

Two of my favourite Mexican bands:

Maybe you can include a tuba in there. It is the most subversive instrument in the orchestra.


Enjoy!

Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Ah Peru.... The true spiritual home of the surf guitar. Which is odd as I've stood on the clifftops in Lima and peered through the eternal mist at a beach that makes Scarborough look like Ipanema.

It ain't pretty. Fortunately there's almost perpetual fog that shrouds it. Not that you would swim there anyway, the Humboldt Current means the water is freezing.* The wife and I took a day trip many years ago to the beach at Viña del Mar in Chile. Same deal. It was summer and about 35C. the water was arctic. Brrrrr. Still Lima is an interesting city, albeit not the most attractive place on Earth.


* Hence the fog

South America has been on the bucket list forever....


Scarborough, however, is just a shithole  :'(

I haven't got the time or the inclination to start a miniatures business (no matter how small) and I've seen what happens to those that do  ;)

Apologies

The castings have taken much longer to get than I hoped - but they've arrived this afternoon.



They'll be off to those that have been patiently waiting first thing in the morning and there'll be an extra in there for you by way of apology for the wait.

Good news, though, been messing around with the spare torsos I had and the new placcy cowboys set from GEG...



..and the fit is 'good enough'

Mine have just arrived!
 :D

Thanks for the extra too, as Tom Hardy said a few times... 'I have a use for you'.
Cheers!

Those look awesome!

Most of Peru's attractions, IMO, are outside of Lima. The Inca Trail is one of the best hikes ever, flying over the Nazca Lines is spectacular, and the attractions around Cuzco are equally great.

Little conversion using the Winchester arm from the GEG placcy set, the cow skull from the same and filling the head down to fit the sombrero.....
