Title: Wild west cowboys
Post by: ryman1 on 14 April 2013, 12:27:28 PM
Hi,

I'd like to request a foray into the wild west if I may, preferably a wide range but even a few figures would be good.

Such as : Lawmen/sheriffs, gunslingers/hired hands or anything that would suit Hatfield & McCoys/Wyatt Earp/Unforgiven etc.

Cheers

Ry

Tricky one this, as you very rarely make any money on personality type figures, as you need to sell hundreds of them to recoup the costs.  There's been some requests for Wild West stuff previously though, so we'll make a note of the extra votes.

Is there nothing in the ACW range that could be converyted with a piant job?

Perhaps a reb officer or two with a revolver could be made.

Also some of the Figure sculptors will produce a specific figure for a very reasonable fee.  Pendraken then gets the copyright and produces them and you get sent a number of castings that are effectivley included in the sculpting cost and the figure joins the range with further purchases at normal cost.

  Ive looked at acw range and its got some real possibility for easy convertions, also you have townsfolk in ACW61,but a mexican bandit type might be more difficult. So no magnificent seven or fist full of dollars role play games,Oh well you can but hope.

You could have a look at the SCW Andalusian Militia, they could fit into a mexican bandit type, with WW1 British in caps for federales:-

Ry...

From another of your posts..
If Leon sends you some dollies...That might well be a project that you could have a go at yourself.
Compared to certain other models, cowboys would be a relatively straightforward task.
If you need pointers, just shout, and I'll try and give you some help.

Cheers - Phil.
