I started this fella friday night & finished him off yesterday. I have had the figure since November but i've only just got round to using him for a
bash.
One of him without the duster. 
Thanks for looking. |

Thanks Oki, the head is DiD's Russell Franklin, 34th ID figure. I tried to get a decent close up of the head but my camera's not good enough to pick
out all the details like the skin tones & texture, and how the eyes have a slight sparkle.

Hmmm I'm not familiar with that figure, but I like the head alot, of course I like everything else to. Maybe you should just send him to me for a closer
examination

He turned out to make a right nice cowboy. The Chaps look really good.
Good Job Doc. Valkyrie6 |

Great figure. I like the chaps you made. Can you give a breakdown of the other parts? I think the Russell headsculpt makes a great western figure....Kat

Thanks Kat
 . The trousers, duster and neckerchief were made by
a friend. She makes a lot of 1/6th clothing, along with leather saddles, here's her site http://www.ajclothiers.com/ . The chaps, gunbelt & hat were made by me. The shirt is off one of the DiD Napoleonics (I
forget which one) and the waistcoat and Colt are BGT. The boots are DML (I think).

I took a couple more pics today of him in a more "natural" setting.

Good stuff Doc. Those are some good looking chaps. I'm collecting leather to try my hand at some but want to tinker with some patterns before I
dive in. The coat/ duster is very nice looking. I like the heavy corduroy material detailing the cuffs and collar. You gun rig is beautiful, the color is just
right for that 'worn-every-day' look. The bar room scene looks perfect.
Your an inspiration.

Doc, that is a beautiful figure...I am glad I caught him...unfortunately I miss things if they aren't right in front of my nose. Very good bash, he looks
the part, kudos on your hard work and attention to detail. Great work on the saloon, very glad I didn't miss this one....Jim
