Forward

May 14, 1804 Explorer William Clark sets off from St. Louis, Missouri
I like to use toy soldiers to illustrate historical events. And yes I know this guy is NOT William Clark but he is close enough. LOL LOL.  Below we see the return of the Corp who have been met by a detachment of US Infantry.

The MARX running pioneer in the brimmed hat makes a good member of the Corps of Discovery The three figures in brimmed hats with one of the westerner sets trading blankets etc would be great! The pioneer with a bagged turkey would work as well just for "fun".

Yes they all would work great. I was a bit lazy with this one and may post an additional photo.

I can't think of a Sakajawiha stand in except maybe a Barzso figure. But Barzso have most of the L & C expedition covered.

I have a DOM figure that would work well and BMC did a pose or two that would work for her.

Now I am going to have to do the Corp!

The second picture looks great. I like the Indian woman figure.

The Collector said...

Thanks Scoot. She is a DOM figure. The set she comes from was made in both 54mm and 60mm.
