Title: APACHE SPRINGS - update p 4
Post by: rumacara on April 28, 2014, 06:40:28 PM
Hello all

Being new on this topic thing of the Old West i think the proper way to put it right is to put some pictures (sorry for the poor quality) of my first posse and a few more experiences in OW.
Hope you like.
I will be back from time to time to place something new.

Cheers

Rui

Hi Rui,

Nice Warpaint on the Lakota/Cheyenne. ;D

Looks like the makings of an adobe in the background too. :)

Hello again

No names yet Antti.
They are just some outlaws posse with no name.
I have a huge collection for painting.
Mounted cowboys are about 30.
Mounted indians 12.
Foot posses about 5 or 6.

Damn. So many lead and so few free time.

Elbows, you would hang them if you could catch them. lol

Cheers

Rui

Hello Digits

The mouted indian is Wargames foundry and the horse is Conquest miniatures.
It gives another dinamic for the rider.

Thats a lot of lead to get going on.
Good luck as I am enjoying watching your rapid progress.

Post by: rumacara on April 29, 2014, 11:17:49 AM
Hello all

Well, the rapid progress was easy because i had a lot of half painted figures for a long time and i decided to make a pause on my roman gangs so it was fast to paint. :)
I still have some to paint and post here on the next days and then get back to my romans.
Digit, those cows are making me envy. I think i will loose my head and order a few for me. :D
About buildings, i think i will make 2 or 3 but the rest probably will be bought from sarissa. I love those buildings. I just have to decide what to do on my small town.
Still has no name. :?

Cheers

Rui

Hello all

Some updates.
First a newly painted outlaw for my new outlaw posse (yes, another one).
Then a Pegasus building slightly transformed as an outside town building or small hut.

Cheers

Post by: rumacara on May 19, 2014, 09:10:07 PM
Hello all

With all those lovelly OW towns, i´ve decided to name mine. :D
Apache Springs in Arizona will be a small town named after some springs controlled by apaches and stolen by the "white man" but still named as a sign of respect for the resistance made by the apaches.
Soon pictures of the first building.

Cheers

Rui

Post by: Hu Rhu on July 24, 2014, 03:54:04 PM
Rui,
I looked on the website but the product they are showing and your building are considerably different (walls, roof, rails).  Did you add stuff to yours or am I looking at the wrong building?
Title: Re: APACHE SPRINGS - new town
Post by: rumacara on July 24, 2014, 03:58:54 PM
Hello all

ooopppsss, sorry i just answered Mason instead of putting a post.

The barn/stable is scratchbuilt with plasticard and the fences are from Italeri.

I just placed a link to a manufacturer to answer another question.

Cheers

Rui

I'm a long way from the painting stage!  :(

Post by: rumacara on October 21, 2015, 04:29:06 PM
Steve, some more ideas for you.
The High Chaparral (you can find most episodes in youtube).
More to come soon. :D

A very productive update, well done.

A very productive update, well done.

Indeed it is.

I love the girl in the 'swirling' skirt.
Plenty of movement in that figure, I shall have to remember her.
 :-*



Steve, some more ideas for you.
The High Chaparral (you can find most episodes in youtube).

For me, too.
I have plans for a hacienda at some point, something to add for Mexicans to lurk in, when time permits.
 :D

Title: Re: APACHE SPRINGS - update p 3
Post by: rumacara on October 22, 2015, 10:54:50 AM
Matt, Antti, Paul and David thanks for the comments.
Indeed High Chaparrall is a good sorce of ideas because it has apaches, mexican rancheros and banditos, white outlaws, cavalry etc.

Paul, if i´m not mistaken the girl is from Eureka.
Do check the Sarissa hacienda for ideas. Also High Chaparral too. The Montoya hacienda might be usefull.
Title: Re: APACHE SPRINGS - update p 3

Thanks for the tip - I'm sure I watched High Chapperal as a kid - I shall check it out!  8)

A small step each time. :)

The buildings used so far.
Title: Re: APACHE SPRINGS - update p 4
Post by: pocoloco on October 29, 2015, 05:31:34 PM
That's a nice amount of buildings Rui!

What kind of colour plan you have for them? Bright new paint jobs or dusty and old?

Few more and you can have a crossroads in Apache Springs :)

That thar water tank going' to be slakin' some thirsts?  And, if so, is it going to be the thirsts of folks or horses, iron or otherwise?   o_o

A nice starting point, Rui.
I look forward to following your progress.

Post by: rumacara on October 30, 2015, 12:46:03 PM
Antti, no clue on painting yet.
I think i will gather all the buildings i want and then plan some painting.
FifteensAway, the same. I have no clue yet.

Sometimes being clueless is a good thing.  Allows sudden inspiration to strike in ways that cause us to feel humbled by the flashes of brilliance that arrive unbidden - and wonder "where the heck did that come from!"

Um, no pressure, though, none at all, right?
Title: Re: APACHE SPRINGS - update p 4
Post by: Argonor on October 31, 2015, 01:13:09 AM
So, have you decided to paint up the models you wanted to get rid off, then?  :)
Title: Re: APACHE SPRINGS - update p 4
Post by: rumacara on October 31, 2015, 10:23:44 AM
Niels, they are still available if you want them. :)

FifteensAway, something like that. :D
