Great stuff, Hombre. I particularly like the internal detail on the barn. Very impressive!

Don't worry about your English, it is absolutely fine - like most other Germans.

Great work that! Being German is no pity...this is a German forum after all and you´re well understandable. Posting pics from photobucket is easy though:

Fahr mit der Maus auf das gewünschte Foto, markiere das kleine Quadrat links unter dem Foto durch einen Mausklick (Du kannst auch mehrere Bilder auf diese Weise markieren, um sie gemeinsam zu verlinken) und geh mit der Maus ganz nach unten, wo Du rechts "generate html and img code" anklickst.
Dann geht ein neues Fenster auf, wo Du im Feld "IMG images for message boards " den Link markierst, kopierst und einfach in Dein Posting einfügst. Probier´s mal!

Hello
Thank's for your comments,there is a fantastic feedback in this forum!!
In the moment the Town looks a little bit "naked" because there are no Details
like Signs,Gras and other little things.I will be add this later.
I dont know what's looking better,printed or handpainted?Any Ideas for me?
First time i want to use Balsa Wood for the Walls,but i think it looks better with single
planks.It' a little  bit more work!!Coffee stirrers are perfekt for this.
Now i need a Saloon ,Bank and a Gunsmith.
(PS danke Michi für den Tipp!!

cheers

Paint them by hand. I did and I cut single letters from cardboard too:


These will certainly be used for gaming, though they weren´t yet. Too many different modeling projects since and a few games with other backgrounds only.

Those are really great! Are they all scratch built?

By the way, some of those rocks in the street must be 2 feet across! Have a heart for those of us staggering out of the saloon late at night...  lol
