American Far West (1865–1895)

Armed with bows, lances or rifles, dressed in skins and adorned with feathers, warriors are shown on horseback or in ambush. The attention to detail highlights tribal differences in dress and weapons. Each little soldier carries the pride and resilience of a people defending their ancestral lands.

These collectible figurines are perfect for dioramas depicting Wounded Knee, Washita, or Sitting Bull's camps. They portray not only combat but also moments of peace, negotiation, or daily life across the plains.

1/72 scale figurines to paint: legendary scenes and realism
The 1/72 scale is ideal for recreating the diversity of the Old West. It allows for many figures in realistic scenery, without losing detail. Battles, camps, and military columns all come to life—each painted figure becoming an actor in your historic story.

The contrast between military uniforms, Native clothing, and 19th-century civilian dress offers a rich and evocative color palette. For passionate modelers, these plastic figurines offer a unique canvas for artistic and historical expression.
