[Bobbergibbs]

Anybuddy know of any assets I can download to use as a classic old prospector and a small burro for a layout I'm working on? Cant find either on Download Station.

Could you post a picture of what you have in mind? Maybe people know the assets under a different name.

Looking for an old gold prospector, a mountain man with a beard and worn clothes and a burro or donkey to carry supplies. Cant seem to post a link to Googleimages but a quick search for "prospector" shows a couple of dozen photos. There are a few male figures I might use on the DS but the real problem is finding a small burro.... thanks for your time.

Do you mean a donkey? Burro is spanish.

Ethan: as far as I know, a burro is a small donkey, used by early prospectors in the western USA to search for gold as a pack animal to carry a few essentials, food and tools while the man walked, usually. They did not require a lot of food. I'd like to find a small burro for my old prospector. Anybuddy post a photo of a burro? I dont seem to be able to..... Thanks for your time.

I thought of this pic when I saw this thread. When I look it this image it seems like a good metaphor for how my life seems to go sometimes.
Anyway, back on topic. I like the idea of the prospector and burro (and yes in the southwest it’s common to here things referred to by their Spainish name) I would definitely put that in my Arizona route. I wonder if arraial could do something like that. His 3D people are great. I don’t know if he charges to do custom creations. I was thinking of asking him about getting some western riders (male and female) to go on his horses. I always have the person standing next to the horse, which is kind of stupid.

Oh My ... Don't get Arraial to do it ... he'll make it all animated, with a movable donkey head, an animated walking prospector, drivable, with horn and bell donkey sounds built in. :hehe:

Did anyone ever see Arraial's animated German Shepard ? http://s525.photobucket.com/albums/cc339/cascaderailroad/?action=view&current=TheDailyBlab_0001.mp4 Fabulous !

That’s pretty funny Cascade. I wasn’t really thinking before and now I actually thought about it. It should be a prospector and his mule, not donkey or burro.

Probably not what you had in mind, but you can use it as a "stand in" until something better comes along:

Prospector and Burro 2D. Thanks to Gary. Just uploaded.
It's a picture on a clear plane, and it's none too smooth, but I whipped it up fast for you. Useful away from the tracks, I wouldn't place it close to the rails!

Thank you, Euphod, it will indeed suffice until I can find a small burro. Bobber

You're welcome. I call it "Stinky Pete".
