Dick Tracy 1968 and Custom Johnny West LR Tex Dawson

Dick Tracy was a really fun build.  The design is very action oriented and you can have all kinds of fun with the base.  Really like this kit!  For those who do not know, Dick was a detective created by Chester Gould back in 1931 as a newspaper comic strip.  While Ideal was mining the newspaper comic strips for Captain Action costumes, like the Phantom and Flash Gordon, Aurora mined them for Dick Tracy.

My built up:


Johnny West Corner

Tex Dawson

This is a CXR Garrett modified and painted to be the Sheriff from the Lone Ranger series of figures.  I could be bias, but I think he turned out all right.  That is also a CXR Shotgun in his hand.  Only modification I think I could have made is to give him a black hat rather than brown.
