CK2's Mountain Man - A true classic...

Okay, I'll admit it...tonight I am doing a shameless plug for my good friend's website, but Mountain Men are cool and he got the pattern for this great outfit on his site, you really do need to check it out.
Picture
I clearly remember the first time I ever saw this picture by CK2 on GL's website. I was in absolute awe. Up to the point when this shoot appeared on the site, pretty much all the figures I had seen were military themes. This was something completely new by my good friend CK2.
Picture
Even by today's standards, this Mountain Man is a work of art. But the significance of this figure for me was that it opened up the possibility of modeling historical figures. You couldn't help but look at this and think about all the other scenes of the Great American West that could be modeled in 1:6th if one just had the time and patience to do it.
Picture
Of course over the years, Ck2 has continued to explore the American West with unique Indian figures, other Mountain Men and Cowboys. He has created wagons, and even a pioneer river flatboat. It has been tremendous stuff and I have enjoyed seeing each journey he's made into America's past. On his website, you will find a pattern for the buckskins that you see on the figure in tonight's update.
Picture
Dog Soldiers is long gone as a company as far as I know, but you still can create the outfit in tonight's pictures if you can follow a pattern (or you have a wife that can). You too can journey into America's past and create your own Mountain Man or Indian figures. Visit CK2's website for patterns like this and a lot of other great things if you haven't already been there. You can find it at the link below.

Yes, I love WWII Americans and Germans as much as the next guy, but I mean "come on, this is just too cool". Check it out on CK2's site and think about making your own Mountain Man.


Until next time, have a good one.
