Wild Bill Hickok is part of the OW9/1 Shootists pack. After undercoating the model I started to paint it with a series of browns and dark reds, first was his hat.

Rusty Dimmock – Legends of the Old West
Rusty Dimmock is part of the OW11/6 Town Toughs & Staunch Defenders pack. He certainly looks the part of a shopkeeper with attitude, making sure that all those desperados who don’t feel like paying for their groceries.
I based the model on a two pence piece. You can originally see that I had based the model on a penny, but I couldn’t work out how to get it off the coin easily without damaging the model. Ah the power of superglue.
Sheriff McQuaige – The Old West
Sheriff McQuaige is part of the OW11/6 Town Toughs & Staunch Defenders pack.
As the Sheriff is wearing a suit, as well as carrying a shotgun, he could be used in Victorian Science Fiction scenarios. He certainly could be walking the streets of London as well as the dusty tracks of the old west.

Malto Cortese – Tally Ho!
Malto Cortese is a really nice sculptured model and quite different to the other miniatures in the A League of Exceptional Gentleman – DA012 range.
I think this will be a really useful model for Victorian Science Fiction scenarios, he looks like a Steam Tank or Ether Flyer Captain rather than a Darkest Africa explorer. His expression of determination really comes out in the model and he looks like an individual who you wouldn’t want to cross.
Simon has this model and here is his painted version.
This is the painted version from the Foundry website.
After basing the model on a two pence piece, I gave the model a white undercoat.
I don’t know if I will give him a blue uniform, I might go for more of a desert khaki look instead.
Capitain Craupaud
“I think he might be French”
This is another of my Darkest Africa miniatures from the A League of Exceptional Gentleman – DA012 range.
He is certainly an elegant chap, holding his pistol as though wary of what might happen just around the corner.
I am intending to use these models in Old West scenarios as well as Tally Ho! adventures set in Africa and Asia. I also think they are ideal Victorian Science Fiction miniatures.
Graf von Schnyder – Tally Ho! Workbench
This model is from the Wargames Foundry Darkest Africa range. Graf von Schnyderis walking whilst carrying his rifle. This is a picture of the painted model from the Foundry website.
In the first instance I based the model on a two pence piece. I then gave the model a white undercoat.
This is a nice model, not sure if I will follow the paint scheme from the Foundry website.
Bill Longley – Shootist
Bill Longley is part of the OW9/1 Shootists pack. The model was based on a two pence piece and then given a white undercoat.
As with my other Old West models I will be using a series of browns as basecoats and then wash with a brown colour.
This is a nice model, full of character.
Wild Bill Hickok
I already have quite a few miniatures suitable for the Old West style game. At GamesDay 2008 I did purchase the Warhammer Historical Old West rules, I also found some other Foundry Old West models to complement the blisters I already had.

Jed Sampson – Original Foundry Gunslinger
I also have some of the original 25mm Gunslingers from Foundry (probaly Guernsey Foundry if my memory serves me correctly). I don’t have their original codes (or names) so I have made them up.
The next stage will be a white undercoat.
