Sheriff Abigail: Hunted - 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
Wasting no time after the shootout at the cantina, Abigail rushes home and changes into her covert operations outfit. With determination in her step, she heads to the stables to saddle her trusty horse and track down the fleeing gang.

Just as she adjusts the stirrups, a sound behind her catches her attention. She spins around to see a shadowy figure approaching — and realizes too late that she’s unarmed: her Winchester is strapped to the other side of the horse, and her revolver rests casually on the fence.

Emerging from the shadows is none other than Snow Oldbeauty, a known member of McGold’s gang, infamous for her love of beautiful women. With a sly grin, Abigail flirts and tries to inch toward her weapons, but Oldbeauty — aiming both pistols — gently suggests she stay still.

Calmly and confidently, Snow delivers a cryptic message: the Shining Eagles are leaving town today, and there’s no need for further conflict. With that, she vanishes into the darkness, leaving Abigail frozen — but far from defeated.
