Very nice work, R.G. I like the fact that your colours are muted and flat.  I have never liked gloss figures at any time, despite understanding the fact that they are usually painted gloss for protection while gaming.  I think you've also decided me in favour of purchasing some of Dixon's Western equipment sets.  I've been eyeing their complete Stagecoach at the halt set as a diorama fixture for a while, now, and your excellent treatment of the supply wagon has just proved to me that the Dixon's can really paint up a treat.
Cheers from Canada!  :wink:

Many thanks for your answers. All miniatures are covered by a layer of a varnish, a varnish matte, manufactures of company Games Workshop.
Colors muffled itself I love, they give to a miniature a natural kind.
Now I work above three miniatures from Dixon: Prairie Schooner; Chuck Wagon, complete with barrel, coffee grinder and coffee pot; Buckboard Wagon. On Stage, I too for a long time admire, as soon as I shall finish with wagons too the purchase.
As it seems to me, the Company Dixon, makes good miniatures townsfolk and accessories for the old West, and it is better than a miniature of fighters at Artizan and Foundry.
I wish success!
R.G.

Hey dominic, what paints are you using for your horses? The Gibbon is curious. I'm always looking for different browns. I waste alot of time trying to figure out which brown for the horse, which for the straps, which for some pouches on equipment, etc... It's maddening.

By the way, nice figs and great work!

Thanks!  I used Foundry paints for the horses and followed Kevin Dallimore's instructions to the "T"
