Red Indians

Backtracking from the Historex conversions and World War One figures, here are a couple of Red Indians. These were early explorations into ethnic figures for which there are no commercial figures available then. Both these figures were made about 30 years ago.


 The Jicarilla Apache figure was sculpted over a Historex Horse conversion.

The Crow Indian on  a Buffalo Hunt was more challenging. The bison was a very hefty metal home casting, animated with some epoxy putty. The Indian was a Preiser conversion. I got the idea of a young Indian making his first kill and dipping his hand in blood.
This piece is now in a private collection.
