 :-* Wow! Excellent start to a project. Love the colours used on your Posse, all tied together with the red bandanas and dusters. A great looking cabin too, scratch built?. I shall be watching this project closely. I look forward to more.

Excellent Andy, I'll be looking out for some frequent updates  8)

Amazing work, Andy!

How about:

Rio Bravo
The Searchers
Open Range
Gunfight at the OK Corral
Tombstone
True Grit
Clint Eastwoods dollar trilogy
The Magnificent Seven

That lot should keep you going for a while  ;D

Open Range

These two a great, despite the cheesy singing in the first (NOT THE TITLE SONG WHICH IS DEAN'S GREATEST!), and the final fight at the end of Open Range is perhaps the best ever film plus the two starts are just amazing! Mose is great too, I can't rate this film enough!

Wyatt Earp is good too.

Appoloosa (?) has some good moments and great ideas...

I've always toyed with the idea of doing a Quick and the Dead games, cheesy film but the characters are just crying out for a game (in fact Sharon was made by Artizan I think)

Plus you must but Deadwood

Character wise Broken Trail is good and could lead to some good ideas, maybe Chinese payback?

Very Pale Rider looking, like it  8)

Great film list guys.

How about 3:10 to Yuma (the recent one) for loads of excessive gunplay.

Another Clint one - Two Mules for Sister Sarah
Oh, and Unforgiven of course

Monte Walsh - both versions
Crossfire Trail

Will Penny

I'll stop there for now  ;)

That Red Dead Redemption has got a lot to answer for! Your stuff is great, especially the cabin- straight out of the game
Theres more 28mm Superhero Madness at my blog, http://fourcoloursupers.blogspot.com/
And for Ultra-modern Wargaming check out Hotel Zugando at http://ultramoderngaming.blogspot.co.uk/

The Culpepper Cattle Company and Valdes is Coming are my most recent inspirational DVD sessions.

I watch Ulzana's Raid twice a year, religiously.  8)

Go to it Andy  8)

oh and Tombstone is a must  :D
