Too cool not to share!
Since I was a kid I have always loved anything to do with the Lone Ranger.While looking at the trailer today for the upcoming movie I found out that his real name was Reid in the original novel,earlier movies added a first name, John. This movie gave him an additional initial "W" same as mine ,but what really freaked me out was that on the back of the badge he wore in honor of his father,another Texas Ranger who is now dead,it is inscribed JWR the same as my dad who was Joseph.
By coincidence the diorama that I am working on now is an Old West Theme Park.I guess that I had better name it the John W. Reid theme park after my father, me and the Lone Ranger.

Just in case you don't already know, John - White Tower Miniatures (UK) does a 54mm mounted Lone Ranger, unpainted casting. (They do a mounted sidekick - Tonto - figure as well). Have a look online at www.whitetowerminiatures.co.uk/
Look under Wild West - then Western Stars - to find pictures of them.
