Hands down my favorite Old West gunslinger, much due to Val Kilmer's fantastic characterization (and in my opinion his best role) in Tombstone. The scene where Doc insults Johnny Ringo with the empty cup makes me LOL every time. This is also the last Western model from my small Reaper order. It was a nice little distraction from my terrain project and school work, and it added to my Old West collection quite nicely.
I painted him with a mix of clothes choices from the Tombstone movie, the red vest and brown tie with light pattern he has in one scene and the grayish duster from another combined. This because I wanted him to have some bright colors about him. The skin was painted to be a bit pasty, I mixed Tanned Flesh and Rotting Flesh and applied it in layers. There was also a wash of Baal Red to his face at one point to give him a sickly look.
What I love about the Legends of the Old West rules which I use for my Old West models is that the authors actually included a lot of famous characters, such as Wyatt, Morgan and Virgil Earp, the Masterson brothers, Johnny Ringo, Curly Bill Brocius so you could in fact replay scenes from movies like Tombstone with already written and ready to play characters. I will review the rules of LotoW as part of the western themed week.
