I ordered the “Trail Drive” set last month from the Weston Toy Co. website which is here Steve Westons Toy Soldiers. I had purchased the Weston Gunfighter set a few months ago on eBay. Both sets are really nice.
The Trail Drive set came in a white box and the figures were protected in plastic padded envelopes. The are 6 Longhorn Cattle in 3 different poses and 4 mounted Cowboys in 4 different poses. The cattle have detached horns and 2 have detached tails. The figures are made out of Poly-resin. They are in 1/32 scale. We will first take a look at the Cowboys.
Ever since I started collecting some of the vintage western figures this year I wanted to pick up this Trail Drive set. It fits very well with the vintage 54mm figures. I like the fact that the saddles are attached to the Cowboy and they fit perfect on the horses.
These figures will look great displayed or in a diorama. The poses tell a good story when setup right. Each Cowboy has a role to play in this cattle drive. The first figure is the Trail Boss shouting out orders. The second figure has the point or acts as a Scout. The third Cowboy is pushing the cattle along with his leather strap. As the last figure with the neckerchief comes in at the rear.
Now we will take a look at the Longhorn cattle. Their poses show that they are on the move. One has his head looking towards the right. The other has his head looking towards left and the last pose has his head up looking forward.
Here are the Weston Toy Co. set of Gunfighters. They are also 1/32 or 54mm. These figures are made out of plastic. There are 14 figures in the set with 7 different poses.
I think these cowboys are supposed to be the “Magnificent Seven” or maybe the just appear that way.
You got some treasures Mike. The Atlantic greeks are great. I love the news, thank you. Great sets for the 2019. The WWII figures looks very well. The Western sets remember me my Airfix cowboys of the 70`s, when I played them. Thank you for sharing. My best wishes for the upcoming 2019 and Happy Christmas.
Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year to you too Jose. I plan to build up a small western town over the years. When I retire I will have a few displays set up in my Man cave, lol.
great newsletter Thank you for the effort Art Etchells
Thank you for reading and the kind words. I try to keep it interesting. I hope to get into more custom projects over the next couple of years. Thank again, Mike.
