More of these well sculpted and cast figures for review. I will begin with the ACW list samples:-

Bandsmen Choice of hat or kepi.

ACW301 Fifer marching. Lots of bands about in the ACW. This is a lively figure.

ACW303 Bass drummer standing. A well balanced figure.

Infantry Choice of hat or kepi.

ACW304 Officer - frock coat, drawn sword with standard. Pole only, provide your own fly. A good "variant" pose.

ACW307 Infantry open shell jacket, barefoot, knapsack, advancing, fixed bayonet (Con.) A good vigorous pose.

ACW308 Infantry, shirt sleeves and blanket roll, barefoot, advancing, fixed bayonet.

ACWVG3 Sniper - shell jacket, Springfield rifle, lying behind earth mound reaching into cartridge box. ( 1 man vignette.) The rifle has the barrel-long sniper sight in use at this time. He is hugging the ground and contorting himself to reload whilst staying hidden and looking out.

"Wild West". Outlaws and Lawmen (Personalities.)

WGP1 "Wild Bill" Hickock firing revolver. Long hair and reaching with his left hand for another revolver.

WGP2 "Commodore" Perry Owens firing rifle from hip. Sharps rifle. Chaps, long hair, six-gun holstered on his left hip.

WGP3 "Billy The Kid" firing a revolver. The figure wears the clothes of William Bonney, as in the well-known photograph.

WGP4 "Pearl Hart" (Taylor) drawing revolver. Cross drawing from the left hip. A well modelled girl.

WGP5 "Cattle Annie" firing Winchester in the air. Ankle length skirt and wide sunhat. Could be used in Colonial games.

WPG5 "Little Britches" Winchester at the ready. Girl with her hair tied back under a range hat. Pistol on her left hip stepping forward in an aggressive way.

Mounted Personalities.

MWGP1 "Billy The Kid" carrying Winchester . Good "portrait head".

MWGP2 "Calamity Jane" holding carbine aloft. A Sharps - yelling too. Buckskin clad.

MWGP3 "Cattle Annie" levelled Winchester. Across her waist, to the right, looking right.

MWGP4 "Little Britches" brandishing revolver. Hat hanging on her back. Huge revolver - Colt maybe. Very crisp modelling and casting on all these figures.

Horses.

H46 Galloping. Legs bunched beneath body.

H47 Walking. Rangy looking beast. Excellent saddles - pommel, cantle etc.

"Scratch Built Town Buildings" are mentioned on the list. I haven't seen any so can't comment. [I have and they are very good]. They come in sections A to E and range in price, at the time of writing, from £19.95 (4 buildings) to £9.75 for a Blacksmiths and a small store. I have no idea what they are made of. [Resin I believe]. A "Starter Pack" of 5 buildings - one from each section is offered at £69.95!! Send S.A.E. for fully illustrated and detailed list.

"The Deadwood Stage is rollin' on over the plain" - mine is an old Britains one - a bit big for these figures - but who cares? Dixon do their own transport. Check it out.
