its been a while since the Old West collection has some action . I took the opportunity of the Hammerhead show in the uk to give it a run out this weekend.

Unfortunately I ran out of time to pop back and chat, I only gave the table a cursory glance on the way to grab a coffee. :?

I'll apologise I  saw the game from behind the green building and the undertakers. From that angle the cattle seemed at odds with the table. In fact I think I said they looked Naff. I was wrong they definitely look the part when seen from that side of the train.

Mark.

I seem to always get this oddly mixed feeling of sereneness and dread when viewing Serenity Flats - clearly a sad day for some folks what with the hearse carrying a load. 

And, congratulations, I see you've properly based up your track. 

Cattle drive?  What cattle drive?  I see cattle in stock pens awaiting shipment east to the slaughter houses.  And that likely means a lively time tonight when those drovers, freshly paid, get to spending their money.  Hope there are enough lawmen in town to maintain order.

Everything you would expect in a cow town.

Great setup.

Hi Dave it was great to finally see Serenety in the flesh on Saturday, as I said at the time you have made a good job on the mdf builings, improving them beyond recognition in a lot of cases.
I was really dissapointed that i forgot my camera, yours was one of the stand out games in my opinion.
Cheers

Hi, yes indeed they are ERTL Longhorn (took a while to track them down on ebay) and Herefords (usually easier to find). Did a little bit of work on them , painting in eyes , a wash and a highlight if required, easy enough..

Russ and Company have threatened to do the hearse in 15/18 mm.  By thunder, I sure wish they'd get on with it!

I'm posting to move this up to the top of the page because I've been 'jonesing' for threads like this and not enough of them are popping up.  I know, a bit sad.  But it's a great town for the Old West.

Like the population sign - don't remember if I noticed that before.  Nice touch.

I saw this and thought - I don't remember seeing this at the show this year, and so I didn't, it is a great visual feast.

What does jonesing mean, I understand what you are doing but "Jonesing ?

Why thank you ... Serenity has been on the back burner for a bit ... I think I need to get a game going again . The population sign has been there since early days , maybe just didn’t make it into pictures

Brilliant! Such a lot of really nice details in this setting. Marvelous.

Vagabond, "jonesing" is American slang for salivating in anticipation, sort of but essentially that.
