The Earp Brothers and good friend, Doc, had many skirmishes with the Clanton Gang before their final Gunfight at Cactus Corral. Involved in cattle rustling and other town mischief, the Clanton Gang never planned to disarm and reliquish their guns while in Rusty Spoons.

Returning to Egypt...

Perhaps Patton will be bringing more armor to this scene... ;)

Hello, Has Last Post Miniatures ever considered designing some wild west building facades similar to those for the Vietnam theme?

This one is for you, Paul.

With K&C's announcement of two new all-metal winter Shermans (Feb 2026 Dispatches), I revisited my Battle of the Bulge diorama to take a few new fresh shots:

Sometime before the Gunfight at Cactus Corral, Calvera and a few of his banditos crossed paths with the Magnificent Seven. There was much bloodshed in the little town of Rusty Spoons. Being just a "One-Horse Town" (not counting 4 slightly smaller TCS Stagecoach Horses), Calvera decided to...

The new Rusty Spoons (Pop. 30) is certainly A Growing Town. The Clanton Gang arrived recently by horseback and the Earp Brothers (and their friend Doc) by stagecoach. It did not take long for both groups to cross paths near Cactus Corral. A few members of Calvera's Banditos joined forces with...

Discovering that "Straight Knives" is a ghost town, Rusty Spoons has been growing. While still a "one-street town" with the Loss of the Nugget, there's been a lot of recent activity. Calvera and his remaining banditos, and what is left of the Magnificent Seven reached a stand-off. With talk...

After the Relocation of Rusty Spoons (pop. 16), some townsfolk followed while others decided the nearby towns of Straight Knives and Bent Forks had more to offer. They packed up their Chuck Wagons and began their journey south. While efforts to rebuild the Golden Nugget were slow, those that...

Big Spooner dabbled in anything that could make him a buck. Cattle, land, and mining were just a few of his exploits. He lost the rights to Cactus Corral but his hope that the Rusty Spoons Mine would one day be "spit'n out more nuggets than nickels from a Liberty Bell slot machine" would...

Highlighting the fun and versatility of K&C's wonderful desert pieces (and some pieces not intended for the desert):

While many came to Rusty Spoons (pop. 40) for the silver in the surrounding hills, a number of trailhands rode in with canvas covered chuck wagons from cattle drives. Lucky for the hungry cowpokes, Cookie would always keep them well fed. A "Good Cup of Coffee" and a trail song made the beans...

Rusty Spoons (pop. 38) was not unlike many other wild west towns. There was a blurred line between outlaws and lawmen, all being gunslingers. It did not take long for two such gunslingers, Diego and "The Gunfighter" to cross paths. It might have been over a lady, a card game, a drink, or even...

The first Wells Fargo stagecoach arrived in Rusty Spoons. Trouple crossing Rusty Creek, Mexican banditos, Indian attacks, and Robin's Gang of Australian Tin Panners provided lots of distractions along the way. With the new route and schedule established, there is soon to be more Prominent...

Rusty Creek led many men to the Town of Rusty Spoons, some famous and some infamous. It was even rumored that Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, and Wild Bill Hickock bunked in Rusty Spoons for a short while, back when they were members of the KingsX Gang.

Sometime before Calvera and his Banditos arrived in the booming town of Rusty Spoons, they faced an arduous journey through the desert. They followed the copper-colored Rusty Creek passing Robin's Gang, a small band of Australian born tin panners determined to find a few nuggets out west...

AKA. A Whole Lot of Spoonin' Gowing On. Thar was once gold in them thar hills, but those were the good ol' days. Rusty Spoons and the neighboring towns of Bent Forks and Straight Knives were just about ghost towns after the veins were picked dry. In the saloon, one was lucky to get a warm...

Calvera and his banditos have returned to Rusty Spoons.

Love the theme and news of the new Gunfight at the O.K. Corral collection. I've had a lot of fun creating various scenes with K&C's Wild West / Real West figures. Rusty Spoons was on the verge of becoming a ghost town but it appears there's some recent activity in town. More to come...
