A greenhorn entering the wild west (Update April 3 '24)

Great looking terrain and figures.

Thanks man!

And another update, it has been a very productive weekend! This time a derelict church from Sarissa and a ACW house from Renedra. The plastic Renedra house was very easy to paint. Some drybrushing and a final wash on the roof and floorboards and done. Should work well as a simple farmhouse.
The church was a lot more work, but also a nice experiment. Like with the caboose I did previously I used masking fluid to get a worn and chipped paint look, which works well with an old abandoned church. I also really like how the whole church sits at an angle, as if it's about to collapse. Perfect for a ghost town.

Stellar stuff there! Very nicely painted all around, both terrain, buildings and minis. Thanks for showing off your efforts, much inspiration to be had here  .

[Malamute]

Great stuff, your terrain is coming along nicely.

[MaleGriffin]

Beautifully done! Great looking buildings, especially the derelict church!

It all looks good, but I like that church in particular...

More wild west stuff done in March! I finished 4 more female gunfighters (only 2 left from the box of 10), some scatter scenery and fencing (from Mantic's Vanguard Kickstarter), a repainted and rebased water tower from Ainsty and finally, an undertaker set from Umbum. So a lot more finished stuff added to the collection!

Female gunfighters








Scatter terrain
For the sign I added two town names I am using for my games: Snakerock and Oxville! The barricades are mostly for scenarios, they will be a bit out of place for regular games.



Fencing
PVC fences...they are nice, but it's a shame they have these typical dimples you see on plastic stuff. But still, you won't see that during gaming.



Water Tower
Bought around 2000 from Ainsty and used a lot for my Warmachine games. Now rebased for Dead Man's Hand!



Umbum Undertaker
Saw this for cheap on Amazon, a cardboard kit. You don't need glue for assembly and the scale is perfect for 28mm gaming. It's real fun to assemble and looks awesome once done. I did reinforce most of it with hot glue and then cut off the outer tabs so it will look less like cardboard. As a finishing touch I did the cardboard edges with felt markers and I covered up some spots with moss and turf. Really awesome building and I love the cemetery that comes with it. To conceal the cardboard earth around the fresh grave, I covered it with tile grout. This looks perfect as fresh earth.







And everything together in one shot!

More stuff finished! This time two more lasses, a male outlaw, two 4Ground buildings, a Sarissa building and some dead trees.

These two also finish off the box of 10 I had:


Outlaw


4Ground Marshalls Office & General Store
Great buildings, although a bit of a hell to assemble. Especially the hinges are horribly fragile. But they look great once assembled, especially if you paint the burnt mdf edges.








Sarissa Precision house
Very simple building and also not the best in terms of details, but looks nice once finished.




Dead trees
I had some dried branches in my supplies, these seemed perfect to simulate some dead trees on the table.



Next up will be more men and I hope to start with a big 3D printed building I received from my mate soon!

The buildings look awesome, the town is really springing up!

The beige dusty tones are fantastic.
Cheers

So far, so good!  Keep up the good work!

[Legionnaire]

I have missed some of your later efforts. All look very good and well painted, nice eye candy. Especially that Umbum undertaker!  Now I have to look into their stuff!
