That's a most useful tip, thank you, as I would never have thought to look in their Vicoriana pages!

I shall make my final decision after watching Chato's Land

She's not quite as comely as the Foundry girl.

Quite.

More Ernie Wise than Pocahontas.

Actually, giving it more thought, Hasslefree do have a couple of minis that might make useful conversion material for an Apache maiden in part-westernised dress: Alicia (long skirt with sword that could become a knife) and Layla (who's presently nekkid). I realise that I have made life difficult for myself by requiring two copies of each mini!

On the subject of two of each, I had a result on Ebay where someone had broken a couple of packs of the Hired Guns by Artizan, which means I will soon have a pair of the westernised Apache with revolver to become my Indian scout.

Come on, you don't have time to be nancying around with Apache maidens... You've got 82 Germans to paint!

Silent Invader · « **Reply #80 on:** August 06, 2015, 05:39:29 PM »

Ha bloody ha!

For the next 10 days or so I shall be doing various bits of 1:1 plastering so too much dust around for painting minis! Thus the short interlude for a bit of making and a bit of shopping.

I might even assemble the laser-cut MDF wagon (two copies of course, one to be smashed up) which I am sure will excite James

He may even offer to help out with that bit.

The hasslefree boudicea figure in the fantasy section may work for a native American. I've seen one (Michi?) With a Clint Eastwood poncho that looked close to what you may need.

That's very time effective of you Steve, also encourages your other half to not give you jobs that makes dust

Cheers

Thanks very much Matt

I think I've made a decision though: the HF Alicia

This is the sort of Apache woman I want:

With this sort of skirt:

I have no idea of the sources for the above images but the following is from the HF site:

It looks like HF Alicia will get me about 90% there: swap out the sword for a knife, scrape away the leggings, cut in a headband, add the bottom of a shirt, scrape back the sleeves to show some forearm, cut out an open neck and add buttons for the shirt, etc

The lovely Apache displaying some cleavage is Julie Newmar from the film McKenna's Gold.

Gregory Peck, Omar Shariff (playing a Mexican obviously), Telly Savalas and a host of other character actors looking for a fabled lost valley of gold....

Incidentally Julie Newmar went on to play Catwoman in the Batman TV series.

You certainly know your leading ladies!

I've added that one to the list of DVDs .... And now you mention it I do see Catwoman

http://m.imdb.com/title/tt0064615/

If nothing, this thread is flagging some great movies from the 60s and 70s.

Incidrntally, has anyone seen Apache Woman ... A German spaghetti western from 1976 in the style of Soldier Blue

http://m.imdb.com/title/tt0168687/

Blimey, mate.
That sounds like a fair bit of messing around.

It may be easier to get one of the HF nudes and add the clothes....
