Title: Some Old West Town Clutter
Post by: Alfrik on February 16, 2009, 07:56:18 PM

Heres a Link to some of my town clutter I have worked up    http://armoredink.blogspot.com/  after all it nice to have some items for the shootists to hide behind while working up the nerve to dash across the 50 yard wide street!

The wood piles are a great simple solution that looks magic.  :)

  I like what you've done with the clutter. Who produces the barrels, crates, and wheels? What did you use for the RR ties? Looks like balsa, or maybe basswood?

Large wood lengths are mainly resin left overs from Skrapwelders western buildings, he lives a bit down the road, the rest of the lumber is balsa cut to match length. Barrels and boxs are from Rocco Miniatures that I got from a discount bin, wagon wheel is old nappy wagon wheel.

Very nice stuff, the saw horses are great something i had never thought of and i have worked as a carpenter. I also like the pine trees.

Those are some really nice peices. I have some wood piles too but I got mine after Xmas when all the scenics go on 75% to 90% markdown. This year I got a vineyard set too. I also have some things gleaned from toy sets I have a couple of water troffs & a bunch of cactus.  8)

Very nice stuff, so easy to do and so essential for line-of-sight blocking. Will do some myself for my town ...

Really cool looking scenery, along with the buildings in your other posts, very realistic and so easy to produce. 
Its inspiring me to get working on some old west stuff for my gunfighters to hide behind!

Nice stuff, though I personally think the handcart is too medieval-looking for an Old West town.

I'm totally digging your shingled roofs though!

True, the 1 axel cart isn't american western though would, I feel, fit in easily along the border area with mexico where they made do with the simplest of conviences when nothing else could be gotten. Not shown in the picture, if you could see the other side of the the cart is that the other wheel is lying flat ont he ground with a busted axel :) which is what the gang that had been sent to steal the cart load of supplies found out only after they got there! Made them work out a solution with items "liberated" from the town to get them away.
