Title: My first MDF Project
Post by: Tomitchoe on 24 September 2012, 07:17:12 PM: Gents,

Some time ago I started to regain my interest in the Wild West theme. Especially with all the great new buildings in MDF on the market. It triggered me to restart my first project in wargaming ever. I ordered the Battleflag set for the Undertaker. I must say I’m amazed at the end result I got and simply love it. Just looking into buying some furniture to improve the inside of the model… Must say that Yankeepedlar01 work in that domain is pretty cool!

Quick picture to give you an impression… Sorry for the bad quality.. my cam is a dinosaur!

Pretty poignant to visit Bodie, CA, and see how many children's coffins there were there awaiting use. Or not. Not sure if I have the heart to represent that in my old west town. Look forward to seeing more.

Very nice interior! Where did you get the wallpaper?

You can find a lot of free wallpaper designs on the net. Just scale it down to the size needed. Google wallpaper dollhouse and printable together and you should have no problem in finding whatever you like...

I ordered 4 more buildings yesterday. I'll keep you guys posted on the evolution... :)

The curtains are a nice touch.

Old West project in the future methinks....distant future, but does not stop me wanting to do it.

Post by: smokezombie on 11 December 2012, 11:19:26 AM: +1 On that Mason. All these top old west terrain has been getting my brain working. I had initially bought enough 15mm west stuff to game with but I want in on this lovely 28mm laser cut stuff.

And a chance to use my LOTOW rule book and say "draw.." :D
