Inspired by a recent viewing of Tombstone (1993), I dug out my TSSD gunfighters modeled after this movie and finally put some paint on them. My skills have gotten a little better since I purchased them and I think I finally did them justice. I finished Wyatt Earp, Virgil Earp, and Doc Holliday. Eventually I will get to Morgan Earp and then the Cochise County Cowboys.
For Wyatt, I went with my interpretation of his clothes from the shootout with Curly Bill at the creek. His revolver is the comically long "Buntline Special" that probably never even existed. The pistol is too closely tied to the Wyatt Earp myth for me to even consider shortening it.
Virgil and Doc both were given the clothes they wore at the OK Corral scene. The set is modeled after that scene but I thought Wyatt would stand out more without the black coat. I took the liberty of adding a grey trim and lining to Virgil's coat and lightening his hat to match.
The infamous Doc Holliday was a challenge. He's modeled with his pistols holstered, but I wanted to still show off the nickel plating and ivory grips.
While still very specific character models, I think they can still serve as generic characters in my various Fistful of Lead games, maybe even in my Trans-Mississippi ACW games.
