Sheriff Abigail: Core Model - Wild West Girls

3D printable miniature – Main character of the debut campaign by Million Miniatures Studios

🎯 Project Purpose
This miniature belongs to Wild West Girls, the first collection of miniatures developed and published under my own independent label: Million Miniatures Studios.

The goal was to create original characters that blend storytelling, visual design, and functional 3D printing – tailored for wargames, RPGs, and collectors. Abigail Morgan, the town sheriff, is the collection’s leading figure.

She also served as the centerpiece of my first successful Kickstarter campaign:

🧠 Narrative Context
Thanks to a covert night mission, Sheriff Abigail Morgan discovers the next move of the notorious Shining Eagles gang: a raid on the town’s armory to steal enough weapons for a full-scale bank assault.

Acting fast, Abigail ambushes them at the scene. The gang – led by the infamous Oldcow McGold – is forced to retreat empty-handed, leaving behind the bundle of dynamite meant for blowing open the vault. While they escape arrest this time, Abigail knows they’ll come back with a new plan to seize the town’s gold, cash, and jewels.

This pose captures that critical moment after the ambush – cool-headed, confident, and aware that the fight isn’t over.
