Boot Hill Miniatures - New sculpts - CASTINGS IN STOCK 05/02/10

[Malamute]

Hi JUST RECEIVED THE NEW FIGURES, JIM BOWIE AND THE ARMY DESERTER ARE OUT OF THIS WORLD, THE OTHERS ARE JUST EXCEPTIONAL, LOL.  I WOULD LOVE A FIGURE OF SAM HOUSTON BEING MIGHTY PRICKLY ON A REARING WHITE HORSE.   KEEP UP THE GREAT WOKK.  IF ONLY I KNEW HOW TO POST PHOTOS  { I AM A TOTAL TECHNO PHOBE ]. I HAVE SOME GREAT PAINTED UP MINIATURES OF CROCKETT AND THE BOYS.

Sam Houston on a rearing horse, funnily enough I was discussing him the other day with Timg. You will be pleased to hear he is on the list to be done later this year.
As to positng photos you have two choices:
Either become a supporting memeber, then you will have your own gallery hear that you can post the photos in or sign up to an online photo gallery like Photobucket etc.
From where you can copy and paste the Imgae code of the photo into your thread here.

Alternatively email me the photos and I'll post them for you, I could also post them on the Boot Hill website.

This list intrigues me Nick. Houston will be good!

The list seems to be forever growing. 
I've just replied to your comment on the Steve Dean Forum about different versions of Crockett and also my desire for a "Crocketts Tennesseans" pack based on the Beekeeper, Thimblerig, The Parson and the guy with bucked teeth and an eye patch from John Waynes Movie.

Anyone want to buy a kidney?  Im not complaining, sounds good to me. Looking forward to a spot of painting again tonight, Bowies turn i think.

I have to say I'd like to see a version of Crockett in "gentleman's attire." 

BTW: I have found a new use for the Texian figs--War of 1812 Militia!  They are basically perfect for them and also for Kentucky Rifles officers and such.

Yeah when you think about it axabrax these figures can be used for so much more your quite right. Mountain men skirmishes, US/Mexican war, exploration games as well as the ones you mentioned. Glad you shifted my eyes away from Texas for a minute mate!

I got my figures from Nick this monring - excellent service once again (4 days from ordering to arival, and one of those was a Aunday!). I'm pleased to be able to say that the figures are absolutely smashing, maybe even better than the previous releases!

@timg & axabrax: I must admitt, the wide range of game types available was part of the appeal for me - there are also the late 1850's border skirmishes along the Missouri/Kansas border, especially so if you chuck a couple of the Foundry Bushackers & Jayhawkers.

Thats a good idea about the border wars.

I gotta get   Sam Houston.  He used to run around on some property I have on the Illinois River. 

I always like to think he fished on the same spot that I do.


The Cherokees called him "Big Drunk".   


GREAT figures!

Must be great to live there Smokey where he wandered around! I'm looking forward to Houston too, just know he will be awesome.

Just received mine today and they are even better looking in person than on the pictures 
Great job, Nick

Received in the US this evening. The figs are gems and show a thoughtfulness, creativity, and attention to detail that rivals the best figure ranges out there. Very talented sculpting.

One small point of constructive criticism:  after a quick dry run I am finding that many of the mounted figs do not easily sit on the horses without big spaces between their butts and the saddles.

Otherwise, Boothill has my vote for best figure range of the year so far!

Steve, I've had similar issues - I found that filing down the straps at the front of the saddle makes it much easier to get figures to 'sit' properly & removes the need to fill....

VERY nice! When are the Mexican Army figures due out?

[timg]

Due out soon i believe, be worth the wait doubtless.
