1:32 Cowboy in Duel - Unbranded, Repainting

        Merry Chrismas to everyone and may 2021 be a Happy , healthy and Creative New Year!!

 Lets hope that all this COVID situation will end within this new year and things get back to normal again..

     With this figure I returned to that set I have mentioned again in the past. A very nice unbranded set of Cowboys and Indians that copies classical poses of Airfix and possibly Marx(?) figures. These figures are in a big 1:32 scale ( about 58mm) and they are a bit simple in detail. But their asset is the faces! Great detailing and clear faces, a pleasure to paint..

  I'm also happy with the matterial witch is harder than Airfix an more difficult to bend. The primer and the paint stick on to it very well. I have painted one more of these cowboys in the past and you can find it in the post listing.

  The scull is scratch build by plasteline (!) and the base is a plain iron plate. I made the scull one day playing with my daughter and kept it for future use.  This figure was primed and ready to paint for some months and watching me every day from the shelf. 

 

   I'm also thinking adding this wooden base but I cannot decide. Your opinion might help :)

 

  Here's some more pictures on different ankle .

 

I will surely come back to that set as there are a lot more poses to paint. Hope you like it :)

That's all for now. 'Till next time...

Wild West - The Sad Cowboy (or..how to give a life to a cheap unbranded miniature! )

- Ahaa!! I got you , you lousy scum!!

   You 've got those Aces in your sleeve the whole time!!

- Ok, you got me .. now what?..

- Defend yourself you filthy card cheater!!

 Bang! Bang, Bang!!  ..

- Oohhh...holy crap you got me.....aahhhh....

- Ok..Let's go back to our play gents....and no tricks please...

Hello everyone! Here is something different to break the monotony...

   I bought these bunch of minis a long time a go as a bargain from e-bay...really cheap!

I believe they are unbranded Chinese copies of some older maker but I don't know for sure...

They are 1:32 scale but a little bigger.(56-59mm), made of soft plastic and factory painted.

Although they have very nice detail specially in the faces and expressions! 

If anyone knows anything about them I will be very happy to know!

That night we have seen the "Toy Story " movie with my little daughter

and when she went off to bed I search for them and decided to give a life

to some of these beautiful fellows.It's a long term plant though so, I don't

know when the second figure will be at my schedule..

So, at first I started to unpainted the figure from this lousy factory paint..

and then the painting started..here are some pics....

 

 

And now the converting part began...The base!!

A not very well cut piece of wood, some balsa wood,

 some plastic tubes with pva glue and simple paper for the cards...

I've also added a pair of spurs from a soft metal connector.

Then I cut the miniature from its base and ad some pins to mount

in the new base.Also I've added the spurs and the base details..

And now some pictures  (Lots of them !!)  of the final outcome..

 I hope you like my little sad cowboy (my wife said that he looks like Indiana Jones...)

I will come back to this Wild West project after the British Infantry I'm working on

this time..( there are five more figs for that..) maybe with this figure..(yes he is smiling!!)

Thank you very much for reading this and I'm waiting for any information

about these figures or any other comment!!

'Till next time...Keep Up The Brushes!!!!
