From TomL: Travel with the Cart, 65 points

 

 

Taking us to the Travel section via the library cart is Calamity Jean - another Bob Murch Pulp figure from the Dangerous Dames 2 set.
 

 

Looking through all my primed miniatures earlier for that still missing fantasy sorceress, I saw some long forgotten western miniatures. Suddenly the Travel section of the library had an entry as I remembered the family vacation we took back in 2007. We flew out for a family wedding in Las Vegas, drove through the Hualapai reservation (home of the terror inducing Skywalk) and took a train to the grand canyon with our kids. There were cowboys singing & performing magic tricks along the way but the big event was the train robbery.  Mounted bandits stopped the train and boarded our car - almost as if it was planned.  They came through telling really bad jokes and asking for coins from the kids. They of course posed for pictures (and more tips) while doing it. All while waving authentic replica guns (solid cylinders) in the air.  Lawmen chased them away and ’arrested’ them outside. They then rode off while we continued on. It was a fun and scenic train ride.

Wait. You really liked my jokes?

In memory of that trip I present several figures from Brigade Games Western line (plus a random figure stored with them) bought after that vacation.  These were painted using Two Thin Coat and Foundry acrylic paints.

From Millsy: You can never have enough gunfighters Tom, especially female ones which remain quite scarce in current ranges. Bob Murch does a good line in female characters and you've done a great job on this one, breaking the mold by painting her up in a much more vibrant scheme than you'd expect. The others are equally cool but I do especially like that bright red hat! Lovely work mate.
