Crescent Cowboys and Indians, as with most of Crescent's output you have two sides, six foot figures per side and
six mounted - three for each protagonist, but we're not looking closely at the
mounted figures today.
Due to the condition of these I will probably
strip and clean most of them, as late versions were issued unpainted anyway
(standing six-shooter), but I'm not sure it works [as a minor fraud!] for the
dark blue figures - I think they were always painted?
Base markings are usually quite clear and
there are a number of base types. Here we see - from left to right - a larger
base with a heavy, deep frame, a smaller base with a lighter frame, a
frameless, flat base and a longer base with slightly more rounded corners,
these are all from the same pose, the kneeling firer.
Here we have the standing firer with the
second type above (on the left) and the final mark type, a Kellogg's premium base. The readers of Plastic Warrior magazine
have been turning up unmarked bases, so with premiums and plastic colours
there's a lot to look out for!
Then this guy keeps turning-up with
different base shapes altogether! Note how the marking itself is inverted
between the two to the top right; there was clearly no 'rule' on positioning the
marking. Additionally they have the Kellogg's variant too - bottom right shot.
My favourite pose from this set is the
'Eagle Dancer' and one has decent paint! Also I have managed to find a couple
of mounted figures, one each side - officers; clearly!
