Just a little entry for this week's bonus round, thanks to a big pile of marking. However, it did give me the excuse to paint up this nice pair of figures I have had lying around from Gorgon Studios. Gorgon's small but beautiful range of Old West figures are all clearly 'inspired by' the main characters from the 2010 movie True Grit, directed by the Cohen Brothers. A far superior remake of the 1969 film starring John Wayne, True Grit follows the story of 14 year old Mattie Ross, played by Hailee Steinfeld, as she seeks revenge for her father's death accompanied by the drunken and washed up marshall Rooster Cogburn (Jeff Bridges)
All
the characters from Gorgon Studios have mounted and dismounted
versions. I painted my Rooster Cogburn figure in the Challenge a couple
of years ago, but now he is joined by Mattie.
Great job mate - I hope to see Maddie make an appearance in your Dead Man's Hand town soon!
ReplyDeleteLovely stuff Alan. I did not realize that Gorgon had done these. That film was such a great re-make.
ReplyDeleteI really like that film, and you've captured her well!
ReplyDeleteVery cool Alan. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteGreat Work
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea, a new range for me to explore too.
ReplyDeleteLovely figures, well painted. I like the long0suffering expression you've given w the faint eye-roll to the standing girl. Now I must watch this film.
ReplyDeleteVery nice work Alan :)
ReplyDeleteLovely work on these two
