'Characters/Scene from' AlanD: 'True Grit'



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.

  2. Lovely stuff Alan. I did not realize that Gorgon had done these. That film was such a great re-make.
