Quebrada del Toro...or Bull's Deep as the gringos call it. I've decided to put Schitte Creek on hold for the moment. I was getting sick of sticking coffee stirrers. So now onto the town of Quebrada del Toro, a border town with Mexico, which will be a mixture of Adobe and wooden structures (but not too many wooden structures). This will no doubt be my favourite town as my preferred gang of choice are Bandidos, of which I have many, many miniatures.
To start off the town we have this modest dwelling, still WIP. I've been very much inspired by Malamute's work on his adobes in San Antonio de Bejar. I'm uncertain whether to have a porch over the door or not, we shall see. This should be finished come the weekend along with my reprinted "Badlands rocks".

And the first of the repainted rocks. One on the left is the paint job they come with.

That is a great start, mate.
:-* :-*
I am looking forward to making some adobe myself in the future, so watching your progress on this should be educational.

As for those Badlands rocks: I keep being tempted by them, but think that I really should make my own.
They are damn good, though, and you waving yours around like this is making it hard to resist them.
Stop it now...there's a good chap.
:D
-
Cheers, I hope I'll be able to provide some inspiration for you.
I had been resisting the rocks too, I kept saying to myself "I could easily make some of my own with real rocks." But I kept seeing others on this board with their repainted sets and the final straw was seeing the Badlands sets in my local model shop, so I bought the smaller rocks and asked them to keep the larger Mesa types aside for me.
-
I know that feeling, mate.
Easy enough to make but I could still be making something else in that time.
The price is not too bad either.
I am caving in......almost.
-
Excellent start, looking forward to seeing how the town expands. ;D
-
Nice beginning :)
Will those pins holding the foamcore while drying ruin the edge when you paint it? Or will you smear a 'plaster' effect over the whole thing?
Cheers
Matt
-
Thanks chaps. The pins will remain there under a layer of plaster (which I have just finished applying).

Looking forward to seeing the results.
:D
-
Excellent to see. I am going to be doing my own Adobe town later in the spring so will be looking for ideas. ;D
As for the badlands rocks, I went with them myself , purely so the time can be invested in doing something more interesting !
Nice job on the repaint.
-
Awesome start. I'm tempted to buy one final gigantic adobe centrepiece from Crescent Root, but I'm trying to resist! lol

Quebrada del toro
Here's something to keep you going till I paint the house, Mason ;)
I've just finished painting the rest of my badlands rocks. I've added a bit of greenery so they match the board and other bases of my buildings. The adobe in these pictures is an old scratch build I made a couple of years ago and is a bit rougher than I'd like those in Quebrada del Toro.
Once again we find the law outnumbered by bandits but at least the Pinkerton has allies this time.

Very nice, indeed!

Now I feel the need to sort some more rocks out, damn you!

Gorgeous...and I'm jealous of your mat - it looks superb.

Cheers. The mat is just a railway scenic paper mat with stones and sand that I got for £8. I then added the grass tufts to make it a bit more interesting and realistic, and also to cover the holes where the little stones had come loose. This was then glued to a board. It's one of these http://www.javis.co.uk/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=shop.flypage_norm&product_id=15178&category_id=13&manufacturer_id=0&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=2 (http://www.javis.co.uk/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=shop.flypage_norm&product_id=15178&category_id=13&manufacturer_id=0&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=2)

Great start! I also love the bandidos most in the OW setting. From which ranges you have collected the bandidos you have?
What are you using for plastering the walls?
-
Thanks. The bandits in the photo are mostly Black Scorpion, and an artizan. I have others from Artizan, Brigade games, foundry and will be getting the new ones from Great Escape Games.
For the wall plaster I use ready mixed polyfilla (spackle) wall filler mixed with a bit of PVA to thin it a bit. Once dry I sand it to take most of the heavy texture off and to round out the corners.
I've almost finished it so hopefully will have finished pictures soon (today if all goes well).
-
Good point, sanding the rougher parts of the texture. Will need to do that to my iglesia. Never tried mixing PVA to spackle as I have just used spackle straight from the tube... with PVA it's more easier to apply in thinner coats or what's the advantage with the mix?
Black Scorpion and Artizan ones mix quite nicely, in my books at least, how about rest of the manufacturers?
Here's hoping we see it ready this evening then!
-
I found the PVA made it stick to the foam board better and made it easier to apply. The painted adobe I didn't use PVA and it was a pain to apply. Adding a bit of water may help just as well just to make it less thick.
I think the Brigade mix ok with Artizan and Black Scorpion. I have a comparison shot somewhere I'll try and find. Some don't like the mix as Artizan tend to be a bit chunkier, Black Scorpion taller with bigger weapons and Brigade quite slight with smaller realistically proportioned weapons. It doesn't bother me at all.
Edit: here's the link to my comparison thread. The Brigade model is not a bandit but you get the idea of their size.

Here's another comparison picture taken when I first started collecting Old West stuff.

Can those hooded Brigade models still be bought? If so, does anyone have a link please?

Here you go. No UK distributed but I've always had excellent service from Lon.

Thanks for the link and the scale shot.
-
Thanks for the pics, I've just bought a few Black Scorpion Mexicans on evilbay and I have a bit of spare foamcore so I might try my hand at making a place for them to hang out.

I look forward to seeing your work. Really easy buildings to make and they can look great (must admit I'm not enamoured with the paint job I've done on this latest one). If I wasn't so lazy the town would be finished by now lol
-
Yes, thanks for the link!
-
Well i didn't get it finished. The sand and PVA are still drying and need to be painted as do the cacti. With my poor phone photography you can't really tell lol. Also in the last picture we have the next stage which is an optional second floor, which will also have an optional sloped tiled roof for dual use in my pirate games.

Once it's actually finished I'll take a picture in its natural habitat lol
-
Looking good! Nice job on the adobe buildings.
-
Yep, nice work...and that's a pretty fancy house for some low-down degenerates. They must be up to no good!
-
Looking good, mate!
:-* :-*
I like the idea of the optional second storey.
I shall be nicking that idea for my 'multi-genre' adobe buildings when I get around to them.
8) :D 8)
-
Looking good ;D
Now I feel the need to make some more lol
-
Makes me think that some adobe buildings can be one of my near future projects. Got the foam board, polyfilla, maybe just need some more balsa wood for things.
-
Cheers all. Think I overdid the PVA when putting the sand on as it's only just dry. I've bought another of the Badlands sets, the Bluff this time. Need lots of rocky outcrops and levels to represent the ravine that Quebrada del Toro sits in.
Looking good ;D
Now I feel the need to make some more lol
Please do, you're adobes are my main inspiration even if mine haven't quite turned out as nice as yours. More inspiration that I can steal for my town is always welcome :D
Looking good, mate!
:-* :-*

8) :D 8)
The idea came when I was about to by some resin "pirate" buildings from Games of War. They're very nice but I realised they were nothing more than an adobe with an additional floor just a bit more spanish colony looking. If my plan comes off I'll have both tiled roof and flat roof options. Just need to find something for the tiles.
As to stealing the idea, feel free :) I'll be nicking that crate "ladder" idea. It's a great idea for both cover and roof access in a town with no stairs lol.
-
Yesterday I finished painting the badlands bluff to match the badlands rocks set. I took the opportunity to take more staged "gunfight" photos.
On the outskirts of Quebrada del Toro, the Marshal and his deputies take refuge in an abandoned homestead. The bandito leader Cubo de Panza and his men surround the buildings hoping to wipe out the Marshal and his nuisance causing once and for all.
Next on the to do list, boxes, crates, water troughs, hitching posts and cacti.
-
Looks mighty fine! :-* The sheriff and deputies seem to be in a real tough spot.
What colours did you use for the rocks, if I may boldly enquire? And for the abode buildings?
-
Yep.
Mighty fine indeed!
:-* :-*
-
Those badlands rocks look good. Great stuff. :)
-
Thanks chaps :)
What colours did you use for the rocks, if I may boldly enquire? And for the abode buildings?
The rocks were painted GW Balor brown all over, ogryn flesh wash (now Reikland flesh shade) over the rocks themselves leaving the desert sand Balor brown. Dry brushed with foundry desert sand A then desert sand B. Once that's done I just added some grassy tufts.
The adobe was painted same colours. A base of Balor brown with successive dry brushes of the desert colours leaving it wetter at the top of the building where the colour needs to be more solid. After the desert colours was a final painting of bone and white.
-
Ok, sounds simple enough for me to try it out on my Badlands rocks :)
Cheers!
-
It really is simple. And I like to keep it simple as I forget to write colour schemes down and I'd forget if it was too complicated lol
-
I'M BACK!
I've been away from my old West project for some time and as always (usually this time of year) I feel it drawing me back in. In order to keep everything together this thread will host all updates on my project.
Taking a slightly different approach to my town, Quebrada del Toro is now my main town, on the border with Mexico allowing me to mix Adobe and wooden structures. Schitte Creek is history (for now). This will also stop confusion with Mason's well established Upsheet Creek :D
Now to the first part of recent work. A few lawmen for Quebrada del Toro.
(http://i670.photobucket.com/albums/vv63/Uzgroth/Mobile%20Uploads/FullSizeRender_zps09fe000f.jpg)

Good to see you back on this project again ;D
-
Lovely brushwork on the new additions.
The lawmen look great.
:-* :-*
Good to see you back on this project again ;D
It sure is.
Welcome back!
:D
-
Cheers fellas. It's good to be back. Lots to catch up on in this part of the forum. I have a large building I'm working on that I hope to show some progress of this week. Larger even than my saloon!
-
Hell yes. Been waiting for this. Keep it up!
-
A little update. Two more lawmen painted. Finally I may have enough to beat the horde that is my Bandito gang.
(http://i670.photobucket.com/albums/vv63/Uzgroth/Mobile%20Uploads/FullSizeRender_zps608344c1.jpg)
A WIP of the next building for the town, a livery stable. A few small details to finish and one big one, the removable hayloft, then to paint it.

-
Now I really do like that barn....superb work!
-
Cheers chaps. I can see a lot of gunfights taking place in this barn. I've based it loosely on the livery stable that 4ground recently brought out adding a little paddock to the side for extra detailing.
-
Awesome stuff. Lovin' the stable!
-
Nice! I never do anything with the interiors of my buildings! I also like how you've designed these with wargaming in mind. Adding such features as buttresses, troughs and the like allows for creative players to use them for cover and such. Excellent work.
-
Hi all. As with all projects, I got distracted. I felt the call of the Wild West once again and so I return again to this project. Nothing new to show as yet, I do have a couple of buildings in progress, the long abandoned saloon is finally getting some paint and the massive stables will be finished (he hopes lol). To keep you going, I took some photos of all my painted miniatures for this project so far as I realised I hadn't got any decent ones of earlier stuff.

I have to say that you seem an even worse butterfly than me....from the cold frozen city of Frostgrave to the arid desert of Quebrada del Toro.
o_o o_o ;)

Lol I am terrible for it. All it takes is a film or book or even some image that sparks the slightest swing back to another project or if I feel suddenly inspired. I have to go with it whilst it lasts. I get burnt out on projects far too quickly.
-
Excellent stuff, it all looks great in the photos. I really like the arid look of the bases and groundwork ;D
-
Nothing fancy in this update. A few bits of scatter vegetation to add some cover, a cheap lasercut windmill and a couple of scratch built buildings (undertaker and dry goods store).
I believe my model building skills have improved beyond what I could achieve when I first started this project and if I were to do the town again I'd do stuff differently but as I'm trying to get stuff to fit in with my other buildings I stuck to the same style.

Excellent stable built! Hope you'll get some paint on ... :)

Unfortunately it may never see paint and may be scrapped to make other buildings. To my eye it just looks far too large compared to the rest of my buildings.

I started it two years ago and I've finally finished the Saloon to a standard I'm happy to use it on the table. The rooms upstairs will eventually be wallpapered and I've still to paint the furniture and bar for downstairs, but at last I can game on this thing. Also finished painting the mdf sheriff's office.

-
This looks excellent, the saloon is awsome.
How do you feel about MDF versus home build. They look good to me but the corners of the buildings with the interlocking joints always seem odd.
18 months from start and you are only just getting ready for a game - what patience you have!
Keep at it, and post the game please.
-
How did miss this update?
??? ???
Many thanks to Vagabond for drawing my attention to it.
:)
Looking great Mr Bukkit, bloody great.

The saloon is gonna be one hell of a place to drink and fight in when you have finished.
The town is shaping up really nicely too.
Full of character, it looks like a film set.
:-* :-*
-
Cracking stuff! :)
-
How did miss this update?
This extends to me, too.
Holy Moly!
That Saloon looks amazing.
The rooms upstairs will eventually be wallpapered and I've still to paint the furniture and bar for downstairs
The interiors of my houses still look way too blank and I don't know what would be a better option:
- Design suitable Wallpapers on PC and print them
- Use 'photo-design' papers you can find in Hobby Stores
What do you use for Wallpapering?
-
Thanks chaps. As always I'm working on other projects currently but will always return to the Old West when I feel it's draw.
For wallpaper, I found suitable craft papers with either striped designs or a Paisley type design that looks ok, it kind of has a dirtied/aged look about it which suits these buildings perfectly.
-
I don't know why but it's always around May, I find myself returning to this project. Me and some mates are planning a big get together sometime this summer and I plan on taking my town so we can play some games in the Wild West so I should be working on this a bit more.
So that there are enough miniatures for people to use I made a start on the back log. A few deaperados and a sheriff's deputy.

Lovely choice of colours! I really like the red Bandana 8-)

Great stuff, looking forward to seeing more of this..................
-
Thanks chaps
Good to see you back at it.
:D
It's good to be back. It always feels like coming home when I return to the west. Lots to catch up on in this corner of the forum.
I'm looking forward to creating a lot more buildings for the town as it finally gets a bigger table.
-
A fantastic game of Legends of the Old West was had last night, introducing a mate to the rules. I played the lawmen and he the outlaws. Here are some of the highlights of the game.
The game was high noon. To keep things tense cards were drawn as the two gangs advanced down the Main Street. Whoever was the first to get a total of 20 or more on the cards lost their nerve and shot first, gifting the opposing leader experience. Sadly it was my Sheriff who lost his nerve and started proceedings, eager to take out the outlaw scum.
The two parties advance.
(http://i670.photobucket.com/albums/vv63/Uzgroth/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_3114_zpshuiphgwb.jpg)
The lawmen duck behind the cover of a wall as the lead starts to fly causing casualties amongst the outlaws. The lawmen soon find themselves pinned however.
(http://i670.photobucket.com/albums/vv63/Uzgroth/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_3116_zpsy9wfkp2d.jpg)
As the outlaws recover their wits the lawmen find themselves pinned down. The sheriff makes a heroic dash through the building and dives out of the window to get the drop on the outlaw leader.
The two leaders duel it out in the alley. The sheriff is grazed on the arm and misses his shot against the outlaw.
(http://i670.photobucket.com/albums/vv63/Uzgroth/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_3117_zpsimdj9u5p.jpg)
Meanwhile trying to break the stalemate, one of the vigilantes charges toward the outlaw tough hiding behind the rocks fanning his six gun. He misses completely.
(http://i670.photobucket.com/albums/vv63/Uzgroth/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_3119_zpss9upbkhu.jpg)
The outlaw sniper sick of the Pinkerton agent taking shots at his men from the water tower, takes aim and kills the lawman.
(http://i670.photobucket.com/albums/vv63/Uzgroth/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_3122_zpsx0kevl4u.jpg)
As the outlaw charges the lawman on the roof, rifle raised like a club; his fellow outlaw takes aim with his sawed-off shotgun and tries to kill the lawman behind the wall and the lawman on the roof. Sadly for him the lawmen dust themselves off, unscathed by the cloud of destruction. The outlaw who charged on the roof however lies at the bemused feet of the lawman, in a puddle of blood, broken bone and buckshot.
(http://i670.photobucket.com/albums/vv63/Uzgroth/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_3123_zpsrztbxdg0.jpg)
The epic battle between the two leaders finally concluded as The sheriff tries to gain advantage by taking cover in the wagon, only to be gunned down as he does. Seeing his men shot up pretty bad and the enemy leader wounded, the outlaws decide to leave the battle, to live and fight another day.
(http://i670.photobucket.com/albums/vv63/Uzgroth/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_3125_zpsqbdytqrr.jpg)

Great stuff, mate.
That shot of the sniper picking out the Pinkie is my favourite.

-
Great report, thanks. Sounds like an epic duel at the end.
-
Thanks for the interesting game report. I'm looking back to the good 'ol Days we had when playing LotOW ourselfs. Unfortunately I had never got the chance to grab the rulebooks myself (that's why I swapped to Dead Mans Hand recently).
Your Gaming table looks amazing. I love all these custom made buildings.
Especially this scene looks fantastic. You can actually smell the gunsmoke in the air!

Great Report; I like your town, especially the Saloon.
Thanks for posting.

With our big game planned for the middle of August, Schitte Creek is once again on my to do list. I've more than enough stuff to have a decent game but want as much flavour in the town as possible. On my to do list is a bank, a gunsmith, general store, an extra gang for players without minis to use, various scatter terrain bits and maybe even a train and track. Whatever I get done this next month is a bonus. I started this week by quickly making some cacti scatter terrain for the outskirts of the town and finally painted up the second of the Battlefield in a Box badlands rocks.
(http://i670.photobucket.com/albums/vv63/Uzgroth/Mobile%20Uploads/FullSizeRender_zps18rssxpp.jpg)
-
Lovely cacti. How'd you make it?
Cheers,
Jim.
-
I didn't make the cacti, I just based them and painted them, made was probably the wrong word to use. Though I will be attempting to make my own. The multi based ones are from an imex Alamo set and Pegasus hobbies cactus set. The individuals are from Great Escape Games.
-
I wish they didn't cancel that Badlands line...I'd have really liked a handful more of those (and I have two each of the large ones). :'(

Me too :'( they're really great and I'm lucky to have found 1 each of the large ones and the smaller rocks in my local hobby store a few years ago. I'd definitely buy another set of each if I could.
-
Agreed. I snagged one of the small rock sets and really would have liked more. Oh well, perhaps in time. Seems a waste to get rid of a mold like that.
-
A couple of quick paint jobs, ahead of next months game. My lawmen needed a more appropriate sheriff to lead them and this one I bought about 8 years ago with the intention of leading my lawman posse! Finally he gets a lick of paint. The cowgirl is the first of six for an additional gang for new players to use.

I share your feelings about the Badlands Rocks: I wish that I could get more small ones too.
And seeing your cacti makes me think that I need to make more bases of my own.
My meagre three bases just does not feel enough now.
;D

Haha lol thanks. I was panicking that I wouldn't have enough terrain for a bigger table so hastily based up all my cacti with the intention of having a more desert area on the table with all the rocks and the adobes, keeping the false fronted buildings for the main town side.

I finished this preacher this morning. I should be painting other things but at least I'm being distracted within this genre and not one of my other projects.

Where did you get the Everret Hitch figure?

He's from the Dead Man's Hand Lawmen set. You can also get Everett Hitch and Virgil Cole in one of the Brigade Games sets.

I started this week by quickly making some cacti scatter terrain for the outskirts of the town and finally painted up the second of the Battlefield in a Box badlands rocks.

I really love the colors for the badlands plateau: Battlefield in a Box has them much too red. Do you mind sharing your color selection and techniques?
As for the minis: :-* :-* :-* :-*

Thanks. The rocks were painted GW Balor brown all over, ogryn flesh wash (now Reikland flesh shade) over the rocks themselves leaving the desert sand Balor brown. Dry brushed with foundry desert sand A then desert sand B. Once that's done I just added some grassy tufts.
