This is the first of a series of mini dioramas that will tell a short story. Most of these figures are repaints of P&P figures that I wanted to display.The crates, sacks and barrels are from Barzso. The town is the single story Western Street-front from Marx. Pieces from the western town...

Sorry, I've no idea. These were made over 25 years ago!

The 1 ST Continental Dragoons included a Captain named Henry Lee. He had a son was named Robert. Robert E. Lee. Henry would later be better known as "Light Horse Harry Lee" and he would command "Lee's Legion", which was formed, in part, from the remnants of the 1 ST Continental Dragoons...

More AWI cavalry. Here are the 17 th Light Dragoons, also known as the "Death's Head". While assigned to Tarleton, they refused to wear the green coats of the British Legion. The 17 TH fought bravely at Cowpens, unlike the British Legion who fled the field. In the first 17 TH photo, the...

AWI Cavalry. My 3 RD Continental Cavalry, lead by William Washington. These were made from Helmet kits, some Britains AWI swoppet parts and Heralds/Britains horses. Several of these came from The Barracks, a company that is no longer with us. I followed the pattern and made plenty of my own...

Here are a couple of pix of some of my original Alamo figures, along with a few conversions mixed in. I just finished painting the Mexican casualty stand, which I am really happy with. I'll be working on some more of these figures over the weekend. By now, I believe that I have over 100...

The seat of his pants is brown!! LOL LOL

Tom Yes, all unique poses. With all the parts being interchangeable, I can make dozens of different poses from one body.

"We hang horse thieves" in this County, son".The condemned man awaits the slap on the horse's rump from the cowboy behind him. His partner in crime watches, knowing his that turn is next. A second cowhand keeps a gun pointed at him, just in case he tries to make a break for it.I just finished...

These are 20 new Mexicans that I just finished painting. These are 54 mm figures, cast in resin, from my own original sculpts. The figures are multi-part figures (like Historex) and parts are interchangeable which allows almost unlimited conversions Check out the rest of my Alamo figures on...

I decided on a dark blue for the Mexican Artillery teams. I like the way that they turned out. *

Painted some Texans to go along with the Mexicans. I use various browns for this batch. GW paints from the LOTR range. Once again, these are all original sculpts. These figures need not be confined to the Alamo. I can see them defending Fort Apache, or fighting in any number of Indian Wars...

Mexican Conscripts/Militia painted in an off white color. Good color or should I switch to a different color?

Here are a few more of my original Alamo sculpts in action. I still need to paint the Texans appropriate colors. The Mexicans are painted to match Marx blue. I spruced up the base of this piece by adding modelling paste mixed with sand and tallus to it. I painted it blue to match Marx Mexicans...

These are the trees that I was referring to, when I asked the question "How tall should model trees be?" I think that between 6 and 9 inches is probably what I'll go with. I'll mix the heights up for variety. These were fun and very simple to make. There is a tutorial on this forum that...

These are made to match Marx sized Mexicans. They are 54 mm figures. Sorry, they are not available for purchase at this time.

A few more of my original Alamo sculpts including Militia Conscripts, Ladder Teams, Texicans, Mexican Artillery and Regular Army. These have been primed with a gray primer. All they need now is a final coat of paint. These are so much fun. I am having a blast with these.

I've decided to sell off my 54 MM Bugle and Guidon collection of Little Big Horn figures. These are highly collectible among Little Big Horn enthusiasts and are long out of print. Bugle and Guidon were produced in the 1970's, yet are considered to be among the best Custer/7TH Cavalry sculpts...

These are some Work in Progress pix of my new original Alamo sculpts. These are resin castings that have been assembled and need some gaps filled in and some primer. After that, I'll paint them a Marx blue to match my Marx Mexican troops. I really like the way the ladder teams are coming out...

Listen, it's not that Conte doesn't, or didn't, make great figures. Everyone knows that he did. His issue is credibility. Pure and simple. How many times do you need to be lied to, before you stop believing his press releases? What's the over/under?
