Love your subtle changes to the Saloon colouring!

I can't take all of the credit, I was inspired by the work that Ivor13 had done. I need to tone down the white rails a bit though, seeing it in the pictures. On the table it's not so bad.

I have to say, the saloon ended up being the center of most of the fights that day. Folks were running in and out of the saloon constantly, leaping off of balconies, firing from the roof, etc.

Hog Thief Bend

OK, so this is all your fault. I’ve been sneaking over to the Old West board from my usual home on the Pulp board for some time now. I’ve so enjoyed your Old West towns that you’ve forced me into making one myself! I’ll just post one photo here in the Old West Town Roll Call which shows the very beginning of Hog Thief Bend and then I’m going to start a thread on the board to show any progress (if any, I rarely finish anything).

This shows the origins of Hog Thief Bend. The brothers Jeremiah and Obediah McGrog have been prospecting for gold in the hills above the Wette River valley. They have recently struck lucky and Jeremiah is dancing a jig for joy in his long-johns (he hasn’t noticed that Muffin the Mule doesn’t seem to like his dancing and is about to take executive action). Obediah seems so overcome by events that he appears to have stripped off and is dancing in the buff! Snappy, the terrier looks on in disgust. Hearing of this strike, the land agents have already moved in and are busy surveying the area for the township which will inevitably grow as news of the gold strike leaks out. Mountain man Pierre ‘LeGros’ Coqsure is concerned that this invasion of greenhorns will interfere with his trade in beaver.

All the towns in this thread have inspired me, so thanks to you all. Ye haa!

Sounds great and off to a promising start, Snappy.
I look forward to following your progress.

Now get to it!

Still a work in progress but my town is:

Beau Gus Junction

Named after the two failed Express Station men who settled there - nobody ever made use of the station and there ain't no junction. It's totally Beau Gus.

We (Skirmish Wargames Collective ) have a whole county, Pima NMT, (we know the real one was in Texas) and a number of towns, with town plans and even schedules for the stage line running between them...will post some names and photos. The buildings are primarily 54mm 1/32nd scale, though we do game OW in 28mm too.

I look forward to seeing photos of this, sounds great!

Just realized that my town isn't in the Old West Town Roll Call. My town is called Trinity which it seemed destined to be as initially I bought the Trinity First National Bank building from Battle Flag, then I joined my local club, the Trinity Wargamers Club which meets at the Trinity Club in Trinity Street opposite the Holy Trinity Church so I decided to go with the flow.

That's a good looking town you have there. Do you have a mini for this guy, then?

This got a bit weirder, I was thinking of having a back story where the original Spanish/Mexican settlement was called Trinidad but was anglicized to Trinity when the US took over. Then I was looking for a location for my town, I have some loco's and rolling stock for Denver & Rio Grande railroad so I looked at a map of the railroad and hey presto south of Denver is Trinidad. In the 1880's Bat Masterson and his brother Jim where town marshals there
and the Colorado Railroad War also took place in the area in the 1870's. So I have plenty of material to work into scenarios that could be vaguely historical.
