Thanks, CapnJim. As regards the Three Amigos on the couch, what can you say? One of them doesn't even seem to own any shoes!

Given that the names on the shirts were not swapped to raise confusion and instead really indicate who is who, I'm rather shocked that I seem to have a twin in Devon I didn't know about...!  :o
I'm glad that at least that one is capable to afford some shoes obviously.  ;)

Devon?  Why, that's my ancestral homeland on my father's side.  Winkleigh and Chulmleigh to be exact...

Oh, oh - Chumleigh is but a pasty lob from the Mad Lord’s seat…!

Michi, having made this dramatic revelation, we now need some photographic evidence to connect you with your long-lost twin!

Well, that's quite a coincidence, CapnJim. I live in Chawleigh, which is 2 miles from Chulmleigh!

Meanwhile, back in Hog Thief Bend, the Earps alight from the 3:10. They muster outside Bill Gull's barber shop, perhaps requiring a shave before they mosey into town.



Martha Jane Cannary (you might know her better by the name Calamity!) is paying a visit to Roly Deschain's gun store.



Bloody Knife seems to be scouting around the back of the Sherriff's Office, not sure why.

Hmm.  I wasn't aware Calamity Jane's attire was so, um, improper, shall we say.  Maybe that's why Wild Bill Hickock put up with her.... :D

I expect you're immensely relieved to be the twin of the good looking one of the Much Piddling Triumvirate and not the Hobbit with the bare feet.  8) 8)

I need to start painting some of the new buildings now. I have decided that this one will be Dr. Manchu's Laundry and Bath House. Here is the good doctor arriving to inspect his new laundry.



...and upstairs the bath house entrance is guarded by Chu Wing Phat, no one argues with Chu Wing, he's a 'Red Pole'. In the background lurks one of the Tong's 'Blue Lanterns', No Pah King.

Seems to me you are going to need some appropriate bath house ladies for that building. 

Isn't there a model out there somewhere of a cowboy in bath with a lady - or is that just a scene from a variety of movies?  For sure on the latter, not so sure on the former.  Favorite latter would be Paint Your Wagon with Lee Marvin's character and some erstwhile 'young' lady floating down the river at the demise of No Name City.  A runner up, but not second, would be Two Mules for Sister Sara (I think).

Okay now.  How exactly will those 2 chairmen carry Dr. Manchu up those stairs.  I pity the Fu.... :D

Eureka Miniatures make the bathing gent with a young lady standing in the bath wrapping herself in a towel.
