That's a really nice town. You've obviously put a lot of work on it :) welcome to the forum!
-
Very nice. I has the makings of a superb town :-*
-
very nice work! That is gonna be a great gaming table!
-
Great stuff, Hombre. I particularly like the internal detail on the barn. Very impressive!
Don't worry about your English, it is absolutely fine - like most other Germans.
-
Only a few weeks :o :o
great stuff :-* :-*
-
well when we built this, one can afford to have bad English
bravo :-* :-* :-* :-*
you sure it was really me who said that ... lol
-
Wow, that looks like a really cool old west town. Very nice. Welcome to the forum! :)
-
Great work that! Being German is no pity...this is a German forum after all and you´re well understandable. Posting pics from photobucket is easy though:
Fahr mit der Maus auf das gewünschte Foto, markiere das kleine Quadrat links unter dem Foto durch einen Mausklick (Du kannst auch mehrere Bilder auf diese Weise markieren, um sie gemeinsam zu verlinken) und geh mit der Maus ganz nach unten, wo Du rechts "generate html and img code" anklickst.
Dann geht ein neues Fenster auf, wo Du im Feld "IMG images for message boards " den Link markierst, kopierst und einfach in Dein Posting einfügst. Probier´s mal!
-
Very, very nice. Thanks for sharing. :)

Hello
Thank's for your comments,there is a fantastic feedback in this forum!!
In the moment the Town looks a little bit "naked" because there are no Details
like Signs,Gras and other little things.I will be add this later.
I dont know what's looking better,printed or handpainted?Any Ideas for me?
First time i want to use Balsa Wood for the Walls,but i think it looks better with single
planks.It' a little bit more work!!Coffee stirrers are perfekt for this.
Now i need a Saloon ,Bank and a Gunsmith.
(PS danke Michi für den Tipp!!
cheers

Paint them by hand. I did and I cut single letters from cardboard too:
These will certainly be used for gaming, though they weren´t yet. Too many different modeling projects since and a few games with other backgrounds only.
Here are some close ups:

Those are really great! Are they all scratch built?
By the way, some of those rocks in the street must be 2 feet across! Have a heart for those of us staggering out of the saloon late at night... lol

Wow,the writing looks very good!! :o :o.
I will try it, but first attempt i will do on a paper!!When this works i can paint direct on the Wall.
Do you make fine lines first an then paint it with a brush? ?

Actually the planks are the "lines", but there is no reason why you shouldn´t draw lines or whole letters by pencil before.

Hi,

Lovely work, Hombre :-*
I love the Gothic (or is it Old Enlgish - never can tell the difference) script you used for the undertaker's name!
The furniture, stoves etc are also wonderful.
Great stuff 8)

Lots of character mate. I particularly like the General Store.
Where are the stoves from?

The stoves are from me!
I have seen it by Frontline,but they looks a little small . I use Black Scorpion
Figures, they are bigger than Foundry or Artizan.
So i made my own,its easy ,a piece of wooden barrel some plasticard and a
5 cent coin for the Bottom.I need ca.1 hour for one with painting.

Very sweet! May have to have a go myself. Cheers
-
Fantastic buildings! And while I know that they are a small detail on the tabletop, the stoves are amazing - I'm going to have to try my hand at building some myself now!
Excellent work - the town is really growing!

Time for coffee!

Love the jailhouse detail. Sweet.
-
The jailhouse looks great - is that scribed foam for the bricks? It looks fantastic, and the painting on the wood is very weathered and realistic. Great job!

Thank's,
Yep,the brick walls are 5mm foam and the wooden walls and the floor also.
It's easy to emboss some bricks and planks!
-
The planks are foam too? Wow! I'll have to try that - they look fantastic.

one side is flat, on the other side are staight embossed gaps.You can see it on the middle wall in the first room.It will be used to isolate wooden floors!
-
Very nice - I see now how it's done. Thanks for the pics! I still have my jailhouse and my bank to do for my Western Town, and I had been planning to do them in brick by scribing foam, so this is very, very helpful.
-
Great interior work! :o
Have you considered doing a tutorial? I'm sure it would be well received.

I'm glad to hear that i can help you a little bit! I'm also have to make a Bank,
but i'm still waiting for ideas!
good luck for your work!!

my Bartender,still waiting that i'm building the Saloon!
-
The Daltons - always loved those BS figures. I kind of imagine they were based on the guys at the end of Pale Rider. Nice work. Is that the reaper barman?
-
I like the Black Scorpion Minis,they looks very good.The only disadvantage is,they are a little bigger than other Ranges like Foundry or Artizan.
I want to order some Foundrys and hope that will work together!
Yep,it's the Reaper Bartender,love this Figure.Yesterday i recieved the prospector
from Reaper.He's jumping around with a big nugget in his fingers,that looks funny.
cheers

Nice work on the buildings. Black Scorpion being '32mm' should look noticeably bigger than Foundry which is '25mm' when lined up for the police photo. Of course on the actual gaming table I've seen them in pictures at least look quite good in the same gang or at least game...

Bloody awesome!

How long does it take you to scribe the interior of each building?
They look fantastic... nice work!
-
The matter is how fast you are :D ,and how big are the walls! ???
for the jail i need 1 hour.

Stunning buildings accompanied by excellent models, well done
