Title: Some Adobe buildings, and a Shed
Post by: Pocho Azul on February 13, 2021, 10:59:24 PM: All the buildings
Most are by Tactical Conflict Systems, a small scenery maker of days gone by. I Am not sure who made the L-shaped adobe building or the shed. Either could be TCS or not.

Largest adobe building
The casting quality of this one is a little better than the others and the style is a little bit different --larger bricks and cleaner details.

Two medium buildings
These are nearly identical, aside from their individual casting issues and different roof parts.

Little, bitty building
The smallest building is, essentially, the front half of the medium ones with a different back wall.

The Shed
This represents my first attempt to use the "Hairspray paint-chipping technique." I am tolerably well-pleased with the outcome. The door was missing, so I made replacement out of match sticks and a bit of paper clip wire.

Thanks! I actually don't have any specific gaming plans for them. They actually belong to my brother, and I painted them just for practice. Maybe when I finish repainting the rest of his western scenery, and the pandemic abates, he will try running an Old West scenario at a local con again.

Post by: Greylegion on August 14, 2021, 04:59:14 PM: I really like the colors of you Adobe buildings. There is an area outside of Tulerosa, NM, where is dirt has a very unusual brown color with a tinge of “red”. It’s the most beautiful soil I have ever seen. The color of the bricks in you Adobe looks very close to that color. I have been trying to find a way to replicate that color. You have come very close to it.

Good stuff, yours is.
