From GeorgeS: 1:32 Cowboy trapped in duel (35 Points)

Hi everyone! I'm happy to be here for the first time. This is my first miniature in this challenge and it could be nothing else but my favourite 1:32 scale! I will also paint some 28mm in the future.

This is an unbranded cowboy figure that copies the classic Airfix pose but bigger (about 60mm) and with simpler lines. The thing that makes me want to paint it is his face. Great details and expression. The rest of the figure is nothing great but the painting makes it pop-up! The scull is scratch build by plasteline (!) and the base is a plain iron plate. This figure was primed and ready to paint for some months and watching me every day from the shelf. When I see the 1st chamber's theme it comes to my mind at once.

So , I believe I can score 10 points as a 1:32 figure , and 20 points if that gets me on the first chamber in the challenge as he is trapped by his opponents guns and looks like giving up ..

I have reduce the size of the images to 800X600 but this still gives 180dpi (!) I don't know how to reach 72 dpi .( unless the picture will be very small )
