The sheriff is looking for a man - but the only room he plans to share with him is the jailhouse

1960's 60mm cowboys painted up by me. As with many of their other subjects, Crescent produced a completely different & smaller-size set in 54mm

Black leather chaps?

Is there something you want to tell us?

I really hope that's not why I'm "wanted".

They look like Assless chaps too.

Crescent's figures are about the easiest to find...

whether having fun outside the bunk house...

... or catching bank robbers

The guy on the right is me after Taco Bell.

Yellow shirt looks like he's trying to stab himself in the butt.

...not just that; why would you be using an 'Arkansas toothpick' blade in your gun-hand...in a violent encounter; on the offchance of need to escalate the lethal 'level of force' suddenly in said close-quarters encounter?

He ran out of bullets but - unlike in the movies - he didn't immediately throw his gun away

Bounty hunter - looks a bit like Robert Redford?

Airfix's 1/32 scale cowboys look pretty good compared to Crescent and were produced much more recently (1975 through 1980s). They were more like model figures than toys, suited to a diorama perhaps. I've sat my mounted guy on a Britains "Black Beauty" horse which seems more fitting for his sedate pose than Airfix's own

Not sure how old this cowpoke is - he appears to be made of acetate which would make him very early, maybe 1950's. He's by "Cyrnos" of France and you can see what he looked like when I got him in the smaller photo - starting to crack and becoming tacky as the acetate degenerates with age

So he better get a move on if he's fixing to hit the trail (just behind the cactus) and rope that good-fer-nuthin' crttter em2nought to collect the bounty

That feller apparently doesn't even live in the town where the gunsmith with the extreme nickel plating fetish lives.
