Lucky Luke in 28mm (update 1/02)

[Calimero]

Really nice once again 

How many figures do you have for your Lucky Luke collection now?

[white knight]

well, there's all the ones in this thread (around 45 individual figs, 3 vehicles and some assorted items) and I have some more still to be painted (I'm guesstimating 20 or so, maybe a few more) + more decorative items + a load of doubles and plans to convert them in a variety of ways. Then there's the plan to add buildings with detailed interiors and furniture, a train (that I already have, but need to repaint)... 

[white knight]

It's been a long time, but finally finished a couple more of these. Pictures are crap as usual, paintjobs just slightly less so.

Two more wagons for the caravan.





And a picture with the other one:


The driver in the orange shirt is a conversion of the stagecoach driver:

Ahh, the return of Lucky Luke by WK. Marvelous work as usual. 

[JollyBob]

These are, as ever, brilliant.

I know you said above that you've got lots of doubles now, but are there still any figures you are missing, or have you got them all? No ultra-rare ones you just can't get hold of?

[white knight]

I've got all of those from the Atlas range (except some of the building fronts), and a good selection of the Pixi range (the ones I don't have for the most part cover the same characters or situations).
I would however like to get hold of the Pixi covered wagon which I haven't been able to find.

[JollyBob]

That is nice. Well, if I ever see one I'll let you know, but I don't think they ever made it over here.

I must say though, you've more staying power with this project than I would have. First time I couldn't get a character I really wanted and they all would have been out of the pram. 

[white knight]

Oh well, this one's not a character or anything and I just want him to add more variety to my wagon train. So if I never get him, it won't be a big deal. I've got all the named characters that were released, and converted a few more, so it's all good.

[Prof.Witchheimer]

so it's all good.

more then good. All is just totally amazing, love this project

[white knight]

For those who thought (or hoped) this project was dead, surprise, it's not. I had these two conversions sitting on my desk undercoated for more than a year and decided to paint them up. Just a quick paintjob, nothing fancy (not that I could do fancy).

Hadn't seen these before, WK. Always been a fan of Lucky Luke (and other belgian comics). Fantastic collection, mate! Now I can nag you about group shots in one more thread!

[DeafNala]

MIGHTY FINE LOOKIN' Little Folk, Pilgrim! I just wandered through the entire thread; you came up with some TERRIFIC STUFF. Being a Fan of things cartoony, I find all your FINE WORK inspiring & liberating. The Lucky Luke thingies remind me of Hobby Products Asterix the Barbarian range; Is there any connection?

[white knight]

Well, the Asterix and Lucky Luke are pretty much the same era of comics but otherwise are not connected. However some of the models I used here are made by Pixi, who also made 28mm prepainted metal Asterix figures in the same style, that are compatible with the Hobby Products range once stripped.
