Been moving, sucks, haven't had much time to post.
But here's an interesting item which turned up in a figure "Lot" over the summer. Eyeball estimate has him at 45mm or so with no markings on his base. Have only just ID'd the pose as an Airfix cowboy thanks to http://ToySoldierHQ.com Though whether he be an original or copy/recast I knoweth not.
TSHQ describes Airfix cowboys as being cast in yellow (http://www.angelfire.com/biz/toysoldierhq/Airfix.html), he is definitely a vivid orange so am not sure if that would be indication of copy or recast. Just tickled to have found a match at last.
I like that hat. Like something from a revisionist 1970s western rather than your standard John Wayne issue Ten Gallon hat, or even a sharp 60s Spaghetti Western hat.
Detail does look a little soft. Any ideas give us a shout.
