Looking good fella.  I need to do something similar for my teepee trader. 

[Hu Rhu]

Thanks, Gary.
Any idea what I have in mind for you?
 

Given my avatar I would take a wild guess at a Chinese Laundryman.    Or knowing my luck a collector of night soil.

For those of you without children, In the Night Garden should not be watched sober.

Cheers, mate.
Now I need to check out your teepee trader.

Lets just say that you are not a million miles away.
With the first suggestion, that is.

*Shudder*
That IS a scary suggestion.

1/48 scale Antlers can be sourced from here - perfect for 28mm

cheers

Not cheap but then Shapeways isn't always. There is a great Bear in Shapeways but exxy and I think it would be too big. OTT I'm looking for one for an Indian Canoe race game.

Thanks for the tip, Giles, but I feel that they are a bit too pricey for what they are.

I will either use those on something that I already have or have a go at making my own.
I cannot really justify spending that much on some antlers.

Poiter50: I have a bear already, and he should be making an appearance soon.
 




Anyway, I can come back to further embellishments for Elk's place, the Barbers is up next.....

A while ago I ordered some pencil sharpener wagons from Sharpenking.

When they arrived, I was very happy with most of them and have used four of them already, three wagons and a stagecoach (which needs horses, but that will be done soon...).

I also ordered a couple of carriage-type wagons with horses attached.
Rather ugly horses, but I did not think that would matter as I could just remove them.

Not so.

The horses were affixed to the wagon with a huge bar of metal that would have been a nightmare to attempt to cut off myself.

Luckily for me, there is a workshop at work with all kinds of cutting tools and (even luckier for me) a technician who knows how to use them.

I gave the offending items to him yesterday and he removed the ugly equine bastards so that I now have two wagons that I can at last make use of.
Cheers, Al!
 

So, a word of warning: Do not buy the ones with 'horses'!!!




A picture of one of the now-usable wagons....





And one of the wagons with its ugly horse...




These should make a nice distraction to work on should I get fed up with painting buildings....

[Col. Aubrey Bagshot]

  Is that actually a horse?

[Silent Invader]

Paul, isn't Nick after some horses? 

[Mason]

Is that actually a horse?

I am really not sure, mate.
 

Paul, isn't Nick after some horses? 

He is indeed....

[Dr DeAth]

Is that actually a horse?

Looks like they pirated it from an Old Glory 28mm   

[smokezombie]

Is that actually a horse?

I think it might be the fabled "magical" equestricorn.
A mythical beast that has the body of a unicorn and the head of a horse.... oh wait..

[Bugsda]

That cabin's the bollox, but yeah, lose the horse

I have some of their US Cavalry and have even tried giving them away on the Bazaar with no takers, so I do know what you mean.

Have you been imbibing again, sir?

As for the horse....the less said, the better.
