The Wild West - All Things Western

[Remembermyname]

That would be great. I talked to the creator for a bit and am also arranging one for myself, keeping up to date on when they finish each piece.
If there's enough interest, he said he'd also like to make Frank in the future and they're also working on alternate head sculpts for some of Sideshow's Clint Eastwood figures, probably William Munny and Blondie. Might have to wait a bit but it'll be a great way to fill in some of the gaps in the market for Western figures.

Harmonica, although better than I had envisaged still not quite there but no mistaking who he is. I have spent more time and munny that I planned. Boots and rig shall be changed in due course and maybe henley shirt. Zippo lighter and folding pocket knife in pockets.

The between shoots smoke break the rig is not worn as seen in the attached image.
Factoid....Opening shootout Harmonica had his Colt SAA revolver on top of the carpet bag, Rig not worn, yet in Frank C MacCarthy's poster the rig, gun belt is worn.

I reckon Charles Bronson would be pleased.

Now for something different, assembled in less than a hour from pieces in my parts box...Trapper/Hunter. Looking to change gloves to hide cuffs of coat. It has been fun as it should be.

Damnit. Really want some more western figures. I have a list that will sadly, probably never get done.

Are you going to have the sculpt custom made? If so, I’d love to get one as well.

Now that would be quite something my friend, It begins with such a conversation.

Some of my Western hardware.

 

[Remembermyname]

Colt Manufacturing vintage print second printing 1947 of Colt Peacemaker 45 cal.1873

 

[Remembermyname]

More detail of the Colt SAA Revolver print one of six which includes the 1851, 1860 and 1847 Walker.
The set was mailed to a UK resident in early January 1948, I did some digging and found the recipient had been an RAF pilot in WWI. My research continues.

I seek recommendations of a source who could create and print a hat for Asmus Toys John Ruth head sculpt.....Thank you

 

[DEATHASYLUM]

Might be tough getting a hat on top of all that hair and have it look normal. The one person that popped into my mind was Stevostoys and going with a felt hat.

[Remembermyname]

Yes difficult, may be easier to leave it be or remove some of the turf...Thank you

 

[Stryker2011]

I’d recommend getting a second duplicate sculpt (if possible), and cutting one down for a hat to fit, and leave the other one hatless. Stevostoys would be a really good option.
