Odds Ends Part Five June 2018 Request, No Name, Custom Figure we will be looking a number of subjects. First greg Liska has a figure request. We explain the origin of No Name’s name. Then I show how I changed a timpo cowboy by using Dabro Parts from Germany.
Odds Ends Part Five June 2018 Request, No Name, Custom Figure Greg Liska
Greg is looking for a figure. I’m looking to get more of this figure (see attached pic). I need at least 3. It can be damaged, as in missing ram rod or even missing head. I’m not concerned with the color. If you’ve got them and don’t want them, let’s talk.
Odds Ends Part Five June 2018 Request, No Name, Custom Figure No Name
I have to explain where the name for No Name comes from. It came from yours truly. When this company first showed up my Russian sources could or would not give me a name. The reason is the party is copying metal figures. I had to come up with a name and decided on No Name. If owner finally comes up with a name we will use it. Right now it seems the No Name is what it is.
Odds Ends Part Five June 2018 Request, No Name, Custom Figure Dabro Parts
One of my German friends Axel Sohinus sent me some of the parts from Dabro Parts. Dabro has been making a wide range of parts I will photograph some of the other pieces soon. I put the bandit head on and discovered that head had a male prong. The Timpo hat had a male prong as well as I was at an impass. Going through some other parts I found that Axel had sent me a Mexican hat which would fit on it. So I put them together. What do you think.
I don’t have any spare figures of the Marx WOW pose Greg Liska is asking about, but I do have a question for Greg: Are those the CTS cannon that are lined up in the photo? Did they come like that (barrel black but carriage/limber a greyish tone), or did you paint them?
The cannons came that color, but the portion that holds the cannon barrel to the fun are made from strips of tin and pins to hold it in place. They are painted to match the cannon. The limbers are made from broken Marx originals. I painted them brown with dark grey wheels to match the guns. Some of the parts are replaced with wood and painted to match. The cannons were on sale for dirt cheap due to the retaining pieces missing. The broken limbers were free. I’m pretty cheap with my disposable income, but the genuine motivating factor is; I can’t let the stuff go to the dump. I see how it can be fixed and just have to ‘rescue’ it.
”to the GUN”, not ”fun”. That was a weird typo.
I think your bandit looks great, Paul!
Interesting in Mexican figure looks nice ,but not face??.

ATS sale the set reissued in HK by Rado

I looked at ATS before I brought this up. I didn’t see any of the WoW ACW sets. They had put together sets using Reamsa ACW and Injun Wars guys Vs. Mx 60mm Injuns. I’d gotten some of my Mx 60mm guys through ATS previously.
ATS got their Rado from Mike Ellis. Mike Ellis was able to get into Rado but is no longer able. Rado has the molds but want big orders which our market can not absorb.
They most then sold out or else .It was listed no long ago by him too in ebay as he is selling off ebay but once every week he disappear,is a difficult person to communicate with ,try ask emailing him ,maybe ge got some left over.Good luck

Good catch, Erwin! I think the unreliable internet where I’m staying during the week caused me to miss this. Seems the whole page didn’t load like it did now. I’ve managed to get 2 of the 3 I’m looking for. I’m not too sure I want to get all of that extra for the one figure. Thanks for looking into it for me. If another one doesn’t emerge soon, I might go ahead and buy a set.
Greg ,yes i agree and wont buy one set just to get one pose ,i will keep eye x loose lots on ebay and let u know..best
