Old range from Stone Mountain Miniatures in 25 mm? Photos added

[FifteensAway]

Found some Old West miniatures today at a swap meet that are marked as from Stone Mountain Miniatures, one set was The Saloon with Miss Kitty and Doc Kelly, etc.  Four figures per pack.  Lead Free Pewter.  Can anyone shed any light on the range, when it was available, etc.?  And if, maybe, someone still has the range - I don't see it on the Stone Mountain Miniatures page now.  They look to be 25 mm, maybe a bit on the smaller side, not over-thin figures.

I sent a message to Stone Mountain Miniatures but thought I'd reach out here, too. 

Thanks!

These things are long OOP, sadly. I have a few of the figures myself, including some apaches and mounted cowboys, as well as gunslingers. There were some hollywood western figs in the range IIRC. They were advertised in old issues of MWAN as well. They are chunky and robust figures, with simple detail, very easy to paint up. I do not know what happened to the masters or molds.

Some of the 15mm seem to be available. Might be worth contacting them?

I have a Large Mountain of 15 mm Old West/Pony Wars miniatures already.  I am trying to find if there is any availability of the larger figures I picked up.   The nine packs I have are enough to put together a decent skirmish game, 36 foot figures and one mounted figure, mix of armed men and some unarmed civilians, men and women.  I figured the range was OOP but am hoping someone can still provide more information on the range - like who sculpted them and/or if not the original range perhaps a compatible range.  Mostly hoping for some additional mounted figures, if there were more.

I would not be surprised if the figures were by the Dixon Old West sculptor, somewhat similar in style.

For now, I am keeping them in their original package so no 'precise' measurements but I will try later to get a measurement of the figures and post up (too early to go out to the garage).  Did try a Google search and found one pack someone is asking $19 US for - one of the packs I already have.

Also, there may be someone out there who would place a much greater value on these packs to complete their collection than my casual interest.  I bought the figures just with the idea to paint them up to the best of my ability and then put them up for sale.

Took FOREVER and then a bit more for the photos to transfer from my phone to email - never had to wait so long.  But they are now loaded so I can show here.  Nine packs and then a shot showing size.



















Here is the image showing size:



Again, if anyone has further information on the range, would love to hear from you.

And thanks!

Oh as far as 'similar to Dixon', these are clearly cruder but still serviceable.  I was just wondering if these might have been an early range in the development of the sculptor.

Would you mind if I uploaded the pics onto the Lost Minis WIKI for posterity?

Dozing Dragon,

Not at all - and if you find any additional information as a result of the upload, please let me know.

Thanks!

 Now those are old, should be fun to paint though.

I think I have a few of the character packs, the sodbuster cowboy, and some Apaches at a con a few years back. They paint up easy and look good with my Dixons, Foundry and so forth.

Those are the kinds of figures we had to play with in the 70's and 80's -  anatomy was sometimes dicey (big heads were common in many ranges)
