The Old gal never looked better.

The Cowboy waving his hat was one of my favs when i was a kid for some unknown reason.

Thanks everybody!
when I say that "it's not a great dio", I'm serious!
I always try to be modest because I think that WE must be so!
All that we do is never perfect…

But:
I'm very happy that this work gives you memories of your childhood! It's a part of mine too and I'm feeling like a child playing "cowboys and Indians" with AIRFIX and ATLANTIC figures (unpainted but it was not a problem!)

BIG THANKS ALL !!!

I really, REALLY like this. It's very well done and I really like those first two perspective shots. The blurring really does it for me. Well done, sir. And I'm also glad you got that nostalgic rush from it. That's one of the reasons I do this stuff, too.

That set, recently repurchased, and the "tarzan" set were a mainstay of my 'solo games' I played every week as a kid – unmade bed as the hills, lego buildings, and airfix figures were responsible for tons of youthful adventures. What better way to spend a rainy weekend morning?! Paint? Rules? bleck! All I needed was my imagination and a few hours.

Thanks for your comments!
@mmitchell: you do it too? I will be happy to see it !
@Early morning: … Wagon Train is easy to find, but the Tarzan box is so rare that the prices are only for rich Collectors !
I imagine Tarzan saving Pionners of an attack of cruel lions!
That were Games !
