Sister Lana, Vampire Slayer and Bounty Hunter

Sister Lana of the Reformed Church of Our Lord Slayer of Vampires is both a vampire hunter and a bounty hunter when vampires are scarce.  She is another of Laura Neville's cousins, thous making her Cousin Sister Lana to Laura and Glynnis, and probably SCU HQ's Gwendolyn Shiilling-Tuppence as well.

This is still a work in progress, but the latest addition to her, and which I am showcasing here is a Colt M1860 "Army" revolver in caliber .44 along with gunbelt and holster. Both came from Battlegear Toys.


The belt was made for a male figure with a wider waist and had to be cut down and modified to fit the TBLeague S22A, but fortunately, this was very easy to do.

The Colt M1860 was muzzle-loading revolver of the type used duging the American Civil War and on the Great Plains for some years after, though many were later modified to load metal cartridges after the Civil War.  BG toys offers four different versions varying in finis and grips.  I chose a gunmetal finish with what the call bone grips, but too me look more like ivory, which is what I've decided Sister Lana carries. It's nicely detailed but the hammer cannot be cocked and the muzze has no bore drilled into it which is something I'll fix with a pin vise if every I get one.  

As a work in progress, Cousin Sister Lana is progressing nicely! The gun belt with holster looks like it was made with this costume in mind! Perfectly complements the outfit in colour and style.

You were right about the massive 1860 model "hand cannon" being an excellent choice for this character to carry.

The cross on the cape is too cool for Catholic school! With a cloak like that, the character had to become a vampire hunter, there was no other choice!

The action stances in the third and fourth pics look particularly fluid and energetic.

You are correct Dave.  This order is not exactly Catholic; having rather liberal attitudes towards sex and a lot of other things.  They have in fact all been excommunicated by the Pope and the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Patriarchs of the Greek and Russian Orthodox Churches and of course, the John Birch Society. Vampires have no love for them either.  

They should more properly be regarded as deeply religious deists and regard the undead, werewolves, demons etc to be an in violation of the laws of nature and therefore of.

As for the gun belt, it comes in a couple of different colours. I chose the black one for obvious reasons and replaced the simulated rawhide leg tie which was yellow and brown with a black one for the same reasons.

Every time I see this character, she just keeps getting better! Great choice of weapon for her Gary! All she needs now is a loaded up motor bike (Like the one Alice had in Resident Evil 3 movie) to go in search of the evil that is terrorizing the badlands and cleanse it!

I don't know which would be better; A motor bike or a horse. This is after all, the west. I really like the big Colt M1860 on her hip however. That was an enlightened choice if I do say so myself.

Agreed! This girl could have a car, motorbike or horse! She could quite easily be at home in the comany of the Vampire hunters from John Carpenters film, 'The Vampires' or I could easily see her rocking up at the 'Titty Twister' (Dusk till Dawn) and clearing out the vampires!
