Great stuff Ray. Inspired by your handsome Stagecoach - I'm trying to get something similar out of Zinnfiguren Strassburg. My new buddy Erhardt and I are trying to work out a deal that will let me get my mitts on both a Stagecoach - and a bunch of mounted Apache braves - intent on some hair-raising fun!! We're going through the usual hoops of them encouraging me to make me send a hugely expensive British Bank Transfer (No Way Hose!) - and me trying to make them take a Paypal hit (Nein Danke!).
Ho hum - we'll get there somehow.
Here's the link to see what I'm after: jb
Just had a result ,Ray - on the Stagecoach with a heap big bunch of Apache braves chasing. My new chum Erhardt sent me a few pics in advance as painting guides ( for later in the year).
Here's a pic of the coach - painted - and some of the braves he sent me - in advance of him posting them off tomorrow. jb
Congratulations on you negotiations Johnny! always need patience for these kind of things but there is vurtue in the challenge of the hunt don't you think?
Nothing says the wild west to me more than an Indian riding a galloping Palamino pony, really looking forward to your treatment of these horses.
I dug around and found I had less of those cavalry figs than I thought, a couple of shots, the american flagbearer is civil war issue as is the dismounted but I thought they still fit in.

Yo Dude! They look great with the coach !! jb
Wow Ray! - Fabulous job - they're SO colourful. Well done!I've had this group of chariots for years, not knowing what to do with them, each is 5 pieces and super glue wouldn't hold the together. I casually posted some pics of unfinished work on the bench with Johnny Bach and he suggested drilling and pinning. Finally got the courage and upon completion mounted on a base, very satisfied.
Pharoah and his hordes issues forth from the bounderies of his dynasty to expand the empire!
