I've had the idea for this conversion kicking around in my head for a while. Originally I thought I'd use some amazon warriors, but when I finally decided to do it for Christmas this year, I started looking around for something suitable and the copplestone cowgirls seemed the coolest and easiest to convert. My husband made the shopping bag out of plasticard, and the handles are made out of one of those brass christmas ornament hangers. This model was painted for my mother as a Christmas present.
