Mining camp
« on: October 13, 2016, 10:02:50 AM »
I'm getting together some figures for a small mining camp as part of a Western game for next year.

So far I am aware of the Tiger Miniatures/HLBSC miners. I'm interested in the two new figures from Copper Mine Miniatures (featured here in a recent thread) and I already have a prospector with a mule from Dixon Miniatures and a couple of the old Foundry range.

Any other suggestions I may have overlooked?

What about the Paint Your Wagon Lee Marvin fig from Artizan.

There is a thread way back IIRC where someone built a mining camp with a sluice and Chinese Laundry.

Yes, one of the LAF finest pieces. ;D

I've been back and looked at the thread, he only had a couple of figures, mostly all Foundry.

OK, that one came to mind as I recently got the Laundryman in an Ebay buy.

Definitely looks like Lee Marvin as suggested ;)

Will add him to the list.

If you are up for a little converting Nick there are Sappers in the Empress New Zealand War range.
