Title: Mexican hamlet
Post by: walktapus on February 04, 2007, 03:36:43 PM: I have been working on my little Mexican hamlet for a couple of months. Now it's finished and I managed to take some pictures today :)

It is designed for Legends of the Old West style skirmish game. So everything is removable and easy of access.

Post by: walktapus on February 04, 2007, 11:10:26 PM: Thanks for the appreciations !

Jase, I don't have any other photo, and it's night now so I can't take others, and tomorrow I will be at the office (sigh). Today was a very bright day here, hence these pictures. :)

Stéphane probably means this hacienda.

Same architect but it's a project club made by many members :)

These pictures were taken at the rehearsal, the day before our first demo games at Toutatis.

Post by: Malamute on February 05, 2007, 06:09:34 PM: Excellent stuff. :D All you need now is the Magnificent Seven. I wish somebody would produce a set of them in 28mm. :?:

I am at present scratchbuilding a church for my Tex/Mex games along similar lines to your buildings.

Post by: Auton on February 05, 2007, 06:49:41 PM: Magnificent Seven, you mean like these? :P

Post by: Malamute on February 06, 2007, 08:34:04 AM: Thanks Auton, I have seen them before, but I understand they are true 25mm and for my taste a bit crude. I was hoping Artizan may pick up the challenge!

Post by: WitchfinderGeneral on February 07, 2007, 11:57:00 AM: I love this. Although the buildings are easy to build it looks like it's great fun to play on this buildings because of the lot of details and the well thought-out arrangement.

Post by: carlos marighela on March 06, 2010, 07:36:55 AM: Wouldn't a Mexican Hamlet be something more like this?

"Ser o no ser, esa es la cuestión. ¿Qué es más noble para el alma sufrir los golpes y las flechas de la injusta fortuna o tomar las armas contra un mar de adversidades y oponiéndose a ella, encontrar el fin? ..............."[/i

:D Sorry couldn't resist.

Lovely work by the way.

Inspired me to try a Wild West version of "Hamlet" set in a small town south of the border... 8)

I think it's unlikely as this thread was created in 2007 and the originator hadn't been active on LAF since 2012. ;)

Oops. I won't expect a response then. Personally I blame the previous post for fooling me into thinking this was still live :D

If you want some Adobe building suggestions, I have made quite a few over the years. If you look back in the OW board I made lots of threads detailing individual builds of Adobe houses, haciendas etc.

You get the idea, there's plenty more, if you're interested, just search Adobe with my name and you'll find lots more. It's a bit of an addiction of mine lol

And a game in progress:

Post by: TheBlackCrane on July 21, 2017, 03:51:22 PM: I give up. Never going to be able to do anything as good as that. :D

Lots of inspiration, thanks! (And especially good to know where to get all those extra bits like barrels and such, that sort of thing is always helpful) (See, asking for help worked even if the thread is seven years old lol)
