013.JPG018.JPG Hi Martyn: Congratulations on your Christmas presents. At your invitation these are my WW6(Officer) and WW7(Trooper) Notice my base colors are the reverse of yours. The paint colors on my Trooper are different. On my Officer, the pistol is silver and there is a "U S" brand on the shoulder of his horse. I bought mine from Mike(T of T) about the time Len sold Trophy. I believe Mike asked Len to do some special painting. Tommy

Martyn,
Very nice, I know I have one or two of the Indians and a Trooper. I also have if I remember - Pony Express and a Fur Trapper, will have to dig them out. I think the fur trapper/trader, I have two different paintings on.

Very cool sets!

This bottom one had a code of WW2TX on the box and came from the King's X Shop in Texas

Happy to oblige Martyn :smile2: Have a great New Year!! Say hello to your "Dad" for me ^&grin
All the best,
Lawrence
 
Those are great sets Larry, particularly the fur trapper set. Rather unique.
 
One of jb's favourite sets :wink2:

Set# WW9 - PONY EXPRESS RIDER

ponyexpress.jpg


Not listed in THE GREAT PLAINS WAR series, it appears in the WILD WEST series but deserves a showing here

Cheers

Martyn:)
 
He sure is Martyn - I think he's my favourite Trophy figure yet; but how about the Fur Trader and the Bronco Buster too! Wow! Sure is just like Christmas now to see all of those as well.:cool:

However, I now have a Pony Express Rider of my own ( ex Britains) - and a very similar Bronco Buster pose of my own too (ex Johillco), so was quite content - until I saw that goldurned Fur Trapper!!!!{sm2}

I think I'll need a long visit to Dorset in the summer - and a good old chat with Giles about that one. :confused:

Thanks for all of the pics folks - they're just Superb!:D

I knew you'd get on the case jb {bravo}}

Here is the page from the MKL catalogue showing all the sets including WW3 - ROUGH JUSTICE

Note the PONY EXPRESS set is listed as DC25 and also the different coloured bases to a couple of the sets previously pictured in the thread

Cheers

Thanks for the catalogue page Martyn - interesting to see I'm probably about half-way there with various lookalike pieces in my collection ( done from castings or modified old TS). Not so sure about "the Hanging Tree" - though it might grow on me yet! (sic). I've already fired off a query to one of my favourite places in Dorset - with a copied pic of the Fur Trader attached - just to see what might turn up? You never know...........:Djb
