The European ones mainly smoke Gauloises, I think.

I did a post on this subject on the Old West board a while back:

Conclusion: The Ral Partha and the Woodland Scenics O scale deer are the most accurate for White-tailed deer, which are the only deer you would find in the eastern USA. The ears are way too big  on the Ral Partha deer, and the Woodland Scenics are bare-bones sculpts  which are rather unexciting.

Is there a sculptor in the house? We could use a line of minis covering white-tailed and mule [i.e.western USA] deer, plus buffalo/bison, elk/wapiti, and pronghorn antelope. Not to mention black and grizzly bears.

Here's a painting guide for White-tails:



Note that their coats change colors with the seasons: the buck is in his winter coat, and the doe is in summer colors. Bucks shed their antlers by February and they start regrowing in April/May. Average length of a white-tail is about 71 inches, and height at the shoulder averages 39 inches, although there is wide variation.

Average size compared to a 6-foot man:

I reckon with a bit of work they could be converted into the White Tailed Deer. An order will be forthcoming.

Good to see that you are contemplating the righteous path!

I can't say that any of the deer pictured jump out at me as 'Whitetails'.  The one in the Ral Partha set just looks weird.  The Whitetails around here are a mucky browny colour, with no elaborate markings just a short upturned white tail.

Please be sure to show us your finished deer....I'm very interested in what you come up with!
