A small Mexican town
« on: July 29, 2020, 12:15:35 AM »
A two day scratch building project, yes, two days start to finish.  It won’t win any prizes, but it suits me just fine.  For 28mm minis.

Not bad, could be used from Spanish colonial era to today.

Good looking. Would be nice to have a Spaghetti western shoot-out on it.

I am going to build a wargames army, a big beautiful wargames army, and Mexico is going to pay for it.

I really like how that looks. Are you thinking Maximillian, Major Dundee, Mexican Revolution, Magnificent Seven or just general gaming in the locale? I've had in my mind a SW USA/Northern Mexico campaign with US cavalry & civilians, French Foreign Legion, Mexican army & civilians and Apaches. Your buildings are making me think of going back to it. :)

 Basically, just some border themed western games.  I may another building or two at some point.  I do also have a traditional western town, so this will give me some variation.

For two days worth of effort you got great value. It's looking very good.

Nice.  Did you use 'cork cloth' for the ground cover?  I have some I thought would work great but haven't done anything with it yet. Probably use it for a jungle build, though.  Or maybe Old West?

That is a tidy bit of work for two days. How are the walls made?

Simple foam core construction.  Painted with a fairly thick acrylic paint that nicely mimics adobe I think.
