Didn't Big Nose Kate have rather a dangerous boyfriend you didn't want to cross?

Indeed she did and possibly married him, a certain individual born John Henry Holliday, sometime dentist but mainly gambler and gunfighter!

So, two greenhorns from back east rode into Hog Thief Bend a few weeks ago with enough money to buy a prime lot on Main Street. Turns out they are journalists come west to start their own newspaper, The Hog Thief Bend Reporter. The greenhorn newspapermen are called Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward.

Yep, it's a good one. I changed the colours on mine and turned it into my Town Hall.

That's another story, maybe to be revealed in the fullness of time?

Not a great photo. I have found with the 4Ground stuff that they're very easy to change colours since they ship on those painted sprues. I simply painted a couple of the sprues with Army Painter red.

I'm not a big fan of green, and I changed the Rogans bar as well. You simply get a good primer-thick kind of spray, like the Army Painter stuff and spray the sprues prior to popping the pieces out. Makes it awfully easy to change up some of the repetitious buildings. I have another somewhere that I painted green. Add to that the front signage can be swapped between a lot of buildings and you can make a whole bunch of alternate structures/facades.
