Western Town – Cowboys & Townspeople (No. S75)

This six-piece resin complete set brings Western, small-town and rural life dioramas to life with differently dressed townspeople. Cowboys in casual clothing, two elegantly dressed gentlemen, as well as a sheriff and mayor allow for varied street scenes, meetings in front of buildings and representative displays. The standing poses can be distributed individually or combined into a small group.

Practical Uses

For a garage diorama with a model car, the casually dressed cowboys are particularly suitable in 1:18, 1:24, 1:43 or 1:64. Their neutral standing poses can be placed beside a vehicle, in front of a workshop building or at the roadside.

A Western town can be created with the entire set: the two gentlemen in suits suit the front of a town hall, hotel or shop, while the sheriff and mayor form a striking focal point on a pavement or square.

On a model railway, 1:22.5 is suitable for garden railway and Gauge II, while 1:32 is suitable for Gauge I. The figures can be used in front of station buildings, along a main street or as residents of a rural town.

For a vehicle diorama in plastic model making, 1:35 and 1:48 are particularly suitable. The standing figures complement parked vehicles or a small street scene without suggesting a fixed activity.

The figures are supplied unpainted in resin and with support structures. The set is a model-making accessory and not a toy. Before priming and painting, the support structures must be removed and the surfaces reworked if necessary.
