Wild Bill

Wild Bill

Wild Bill is another character I did back in the 90’s, shortly after we retired.  This is an instance where the details make the figure.  The long hair, long coat, especially the double holsters with the gun butts forward.  A classic character.

I read once that each morning Wild Bill would fire off all the loads in his pistols and then reload with fresh powder and ball.  He would finish up by applying grease across the front of the pistols cylinder to prevent an accidental discharge.  Smart man. 

Comments welcome as always.
