I thought Eric's shed may hit the spot ;) lol

It has, mate.
It has.
 :D



I vote Eric's Shed: The Finest in Ladies Undergarments

 lol

Not too sure about that variant, though.... ::)



Right, the basic weathering of the Hardware store is done, and it is good enough for gaming.
It does need a few things adding, small details and, of course, the sign.
They can be added over the next couple of days.

Here is a sneak peak with Brian's Mum for scale...





More pictures to follow tomorrow....

It may not be as fancy as the witch hunter charter house Eric, but when you play a game you won't have to fight for it. ;) lol

Cheers, chaps.
They shall be a feature on all of the windows of the town.
Bloody dusty in Upsheet Creek, it is.
 :D

Who says you wont?
 ;)



Where does Brian's mum come from?

Judea, of course!
 ;)

To be honest, I am not sure.
I thought she was a Mexican civvie from Foundry but as I bought her in one of Ainsty's 'quid-a-figure' trays I cannot be certain.

I think WK has the same figure in his Zorro project.
I shall see....





Back to the Hardware Store.

The building and base are both finished, weathered etc..
I still have a sign, hitching post and the small details to add, which will be done over the next few weeks, but it is servicable for the table now and blends in with the other finished buildings just fine.


Here it is being inspected by Brian's Mum.....nosy cow!

















It will look much better when the details are added but they have to be mined for in the Cupboard of Doom, which may take a few days.....

Thanks, mate.
It should look better when it has the 'little things' added.
 ;)

Cheers, mate!
I am glad that you approve.
 :D

It certainly is.
I shall be working on a sign or two for it later in the week.
I am REALLY glad that YOU approve!
 lol

Funnily enough you just beat me to that post as I have been trawling the usual suspects too.
It is not the same one that WK has either, I checked that too.
I am totally baffled, mate.....but I shall keep my eyes open for another for you.
 :D

PS...

 Meant to say the finished model looks great, the weathering has come up a treat. ;D

Your base style and colour look very similar to mine. Combining your buildings with mine we could create a massive town for a multi player spectacular shoot out at next years BLAM ( or sooner for a one day mini BLAM) worth thinkin' on. ;)

To be perfectly honest, the basing similarities are a combination of an accident (ordered the wrong thickness MDF some time last year, which was too thick for Krappefortt) and an intentional effort (when I saw your basing, which I obviously like as I copied it), I thought of a use for the MDF.

So, yes, I nicked your idea!
 :D

As for a collaboration: Lets chat and see what we can come up with.
 ;)


We could also drag that Blood fella into a game and whet his appetite for painting some cowboys!
 lol
