My Old West town that started in lockdown in March 2020 creeps along at a glacial page. The joineries of the town are struggling to keep up with the demand for doors and windows, so that it the main focus before it expands any further.
Despite the ongoing work it's been the location for a number of back-alley liaisons and the occasional gunfight.
If you'd like to see a little more about the construction and approach to painting the exterior surfaces, please drop by my blog: https://senlachill.blogspot.com/2020/10/scratch-building-old-west-buildings-in.html
Please see the attachments for some images - I've given up trying to embed images on LAF o_o lol
Thanks for dropping by

Wow, that's amazing. Please post more pictures!
-
I think they look great!
Appreciate the link to your blog. Headed that way right now.

Great work! Keep us informed on game and any more buildings. Love it.
-
Lovely :)
-
Excellent work, that looks great.

Creeps along? That is a ferocious amount of work and it looks incredible. It's easy to see that you are going to get a lot of good gaming out of that setup can't wait to see the live action shots.

Awesome work! If you don't mind my asking - where did you get the mini of the hot asian babe?
-
Buildings as good as that show how basic the numerous MDF offerings are in comparison.

Thank you one and all! I appreciate the encouragement. It's so easy to get bogged down in these projects.
I have a report of a recent game (which will feature some unexpected protagonists :o) which I will load to this thread this week.
Warren, you are right. It's a lot of progress - I just am finding the finishing stage very slow - a familiar situation for many wargaming projects haha.
Harry - ;) - I think there is some great work out there with modding the MDF kits - but thank you - I really like the character that the weathered timbers provide. Close-ups show me I needed to be a little more careful with glue, but I will probably add moss and more grime at some stage so that will blend it in more.

The mini you mention is from the wonderful Pax Limpopo range by Eureka Miniatures - she is the Chinese accomplice girl with bob hair cut https://www.eurekamin.com.au/product_info.php?cPath=87_126_153_157&products_id=1889 (https://www.eurekamin.com.au/product_info.php?cPath=87_126_153_157&products_id=1889) and there is a Chinese accomplice girl with pig tail https://www.eurekamin.com.au/product_info.php?cPath=87_126_153_157&products_id=1890 (https://www.eurekamin.com.au/product_info.php?cPath=87_126_153_157&products_id=1890).
It's well worth a trawl through this range as there are some great characters for the Old West. The full Pax Limpopo Range can be found here: https://www.eurekamin.com.au/index.php?cPath=87_126_153 (https://www.eurekamin.com.au/index.php?cPath=87_126_153) I have attached some more (rather whimsical) pictures of my favourites. In the hands of a good painter these minis would be fantastic.

Personally, I think Lockdown would make a great name for the town.

Hahaha yes! You’ve gotm me thinking now - if it were in Scotland it could be Loch Doon! lol

Wow, your buildings look great. I really like your weathering, it's looking very authentic. :)

Cool, I'll check it out.

I love your scratch built buildings- they look great.

Looking great 8)
As well as the construction, the weathering effect on the boards is particularly impressive :)
