The first and thrid are classics. I have never heard of the second one. I must find it and watch it. I have another classic with Terrence Hill...The Man With No Name, whom my wife thought was a "hunk"! Thanks for the memroies. I need to pull those movies out and let my boys watch them, now that they are old enough and can appreciate them.

"Trinity" is a violent  comedy, in the style of "My Name is Nobody". 

Bud Spencer was in it as well.

Neat terrain, a really neat stage coach station/cantina that I used to base one of my  28mm buildings on.

I think I'm gonna give my 28mm Spaghetti Western Town away, and build a 15mm version.

My skills are better now, and that dang 28mm town takes up two whole shelves of space
(not shelves, but shelve units, the whole thing)

Plus, I never have enough expensive and lenghty painting time,  figures.

Maybe not.  But I might look into building a 15mm Mexican style old west town for fun, and maybe do a tutorial on my style of building.

Depends on figure availability.  If I find a 15mm Blondie, Tuco and Angel Eyes, I'll do it.


My Name is Nobody, BTW, is on of my GOAT films.  I laugh throughout it.  terrence Hill is just funny.

It may be the west, but there's nothing that beats a good old spaghetti western of the better kind. ;)

My fav must be the Outlaw Josey Whales, a cracking tale with lots of inspiration, anti heroes, Indians and the like.

So much so I have a hankering for getting some Missouri raiders for use as an undead posse lead by the truly Bloody Bill in deadlands :D

A great movie and one of Clints best westerns me thinks.

Definately my all time favourite Clint movie and if honest Wild West movie though the modern Alamo comes quite close as does the old favourite Major Dundee for colour.

Clint is very good in Gran Torino (sp?) he takes Victor Meldrew to a new level in this film;D

I had forgotten about that open Range sequence. Great shootout! Almost makes me want to play Old West.
