show off your cowboys here.
« on: June 09, 2008, 06:35:53 PM »
i figured it might be good for us to have a sticky thread maybe for showing off painted miniatures? don't worry if you all disagree this will just be a single topic then but i am a member on the last alliance forums and often this is how we do it to keep random crap posting down to a minimum.
any how to kick start the thread.



and on request via p.m a bigger pic pf my avatar

This is one of my favourite Western figures, even if he isn't a cowboy!

Painted these ages ago so apologies if you've already seen them.  Oh, and I was experimenting with a new Matt varnish at the time, so they are not as matt as I like.

Some seriously nice work there all... Ray, your bandidos are superb, and I love all those chaps in dusters from Chris and SgtPerry. Very cool.

I must keep resisting Old West... Can't add yet another stratum to the lead mountain. Just can't...  ;D

Lots of inspirational stuff [as you'd expect on LAF], but I particularly like the stripey trousers on Ray's Mexican.

I find it impossible to do convincing stripes, so am ever in awe of those who can  ;)

Fantastic "in-scale" eyes, too. Ditto the above  lol

Hi

Here's my Mexican and Chinese posses

Mexicans (a mix of  Foundry and Artisan)





This one I converted the six gun to a sawn off shotgun. I also converted a peon to have dynamite and another 2 knifes but the picture didn't come out.



Chinese (from Pulp and a few Foundry figures)

The posse



A couple converted to have shotguns. This was before the Showdown book came out for LOTOW and they cant have shotguns!
