It's really just as well as otherwise you'd have been subjected to yet another of my wersterners and the village people) wips. (They're at the stage where I can give attention to a little detailing - facial and smaller items namely.
On to the box !
 |
| Lots of 54mm goodness inside |
 |
| Horses, in two colours and 4 poses - one deceased ! |
 |
| Riders, in eight poses - some conversions in order |
 |
| Eight dismounted figures too. |
 |
| And the Gringos |
Thesefigures were ordered from Steve Weston' Plastic Soldiers site on the 18th March and arrived today, the 22nd. - great service !
In addition to trying to get enthusiasm up to finish the village people and other westerners, I did this :
Remeber this chap ?
 |
| Tavern Keeper |
 |
| A new shopkeeper or such |
A bit of hot and cold water treatment to re-position his arms is needed for his new life, possibly as a butcher or some other.
That's it then for another week, the greater daylight hours once more bring on a little more enthusisam for our hobby - I've even started to tidy up my games table !
Thanks for taking the time to visit and as laways your comments are both welcomed and appreciated.
(And I'll also be getting around to all the blogs I normally comment on)
Retail therapy is always fun and it looks like a good haul! The conversion work on the shopkeeper is looking good!

Thanks Iin, it wasn;t long ago that I thought I'd never buy any more figures !
DeleteThe conversion was long and boring and fairly hard work cutting through the tough plastic.
Great looking new additions Joe, and the conversion should certainly relive the poor chap of arm ache lugging that barrel around. LOL
ReplyDeleteThanks Dave, I reckon I'll be ready to use them by Xmas 2021 at the earliest !
DeleteThe conversion still needs a little workm haing seen it in the daylight !
Always fun getting a parcel in the mail...especially when you had forgotten about them coming! Kickstarters are sort of that way....as it takes so long for them to come
ReplyDeleteThanks Terry, I waited a while before ordering these, witing until I'd nearly finished my current batch.
DeleteI participated in a Kickstarter once but sadly it failed to come to fruition.
Woooa! Great addition for collection sir!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michal, I'll be happy when they're all done.
DeleteNice additions some good looking sculpts as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks Brummie, the sculps are crisp, but do I really need eight guys carrying a pig ?
DeleteGreat stuff Joe! The retail therapy is always the best therapy 😀
ReplyDeleteThanks Ivor, you took the words right out of my mouth.
DeleteIts always a great day when a box of goodies arrive in the post.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ray, you've got it spot on. 100+ figures, sheer joy and happiness!
