We resume General Pettygree's Western story, Powder River in Act 2 "WARPATH" here:

See the BIG SKY out west, Red Hat's Village, treachery, profound stupidity and naturally – C Troop.

Imagine you are back in an old time theatre decades ago in the USA with popcorn, soft drinks and pards on a fine Saturday afternoon. Colorful images and dialogue tell the story of dangers and conflict out West. Now git along!

Respectfully,

Cool!! I have really enjoyed these two installments.

I have hundreds of figures painted for that era, but there are a few I don't recognize.

Could you tell me the manufacturer of the Indian scout wearing the kepi, yellow scarf and blue vest, please?

I recognize the Conquest figures they identify as Crazy Horse and Gall, but could you tell me the manufacturer of the other Lakota?

Thanks.

Tom

Thank you very much, Everyone!,
Tom that miniature was given to me by a friend in England in 1985 when I visited him. Typically he had 30mm Suren castings. That would be my guess.
Tradition of London carries 30mm Surens.
Cheers,
Bill

Tom,

I'm percolating an idea for June 1876/2026.
What scale do you have?
28mms, etc. or?
Approximately how many warriors and US Army castings in that scale?
Send your answer to oldregimerules@msn.com

Great stuff

Bill, email sent.

Thanks for the figure info. I did not realize the old Surens were still available. I thought they were great figures when they came out. Looking at the photos today, maybe not so much so by today's standards. But I do like that Indian scout.
