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?

There's a few bits and pieces on the Perry ACW artillery sprues that you're welcome to next time you're round.

cheers

You may already be aware that Tiger Miniatures do a mining accessories pack (MPA 01)
http://www.tigerminiatures.co.uk/page6.htm

The gear works well and I used them on the Hardware Store in the Creek....










I also used a few bits from Frontline's 25WW13  Miner's Camp.
I am sure that I have a few bits from that left over, including sluice boxes and pans.
If you are going down the 'panning' route I can send 'em to ya.

Ta, muchly, I ordered the Tiger Miniatures stuff earlier.  :)

I am going to do a combination of a small mine entrance and a stream with some panning going on, so a combination of both.

So any spacers gratefully received. :)
