The Apache/Comanche Wars range is now expanded with Texas Rangers (1842 I am told). 28mm of course from Gringos 40.

I didn't know of a Ranger museum in San Antonio but do know of one in Waco right off I-35.

Choctaw05 Sep 2024 9:25 a.m. PST

Yes, it is in Waco off of 1-35 and it is certainly worth a visit. Wow, that is a great rendition of a Ranger.

jammy four Sponsoring Member of TMP05 Sep 2024 10:19 a.m. PST

Shagnasty..a mate of mine went to the Waco one
totally loved it…

I think this one is quite remarkable. There is something about highlighting dark blue that I never get right. I have just posted postillions driving a carriage where it totally failed for me (yet again!) I started too light and went over it the reverse, forgetting that acrylics dry darker than they go on. The result? Flat without highlights like these. I would point out the pistol as well. Great work

Ged described this gent as being in a "Dull red coat". Well I think it is the colour of Steve McQueen's shirt in the Magnificent Seven and only he was cool enough to get away with a pink shirt back then.

thanks for posting Liam
the colour used was for
a sun bleached Texas look
as the Rangers often only
had one change of clothes
if they were lucky.!!
