Great idea about the separate bases for dry or temperate climates. An inspired idea. :)

Thanks for sharing about the bases.  I'm planning bases that prevent the 'flat' world look and now I just might have to double up some of my bases.

I thank you  :) as some of the 4Ground buildings share the same footprint, I can "plug and play" with the various units providing plenty of variation.

Indeed it is, ya clever bugger!

Needs more cows!  A stampede needs to look scary......!  ;)

Well painted though, they look cool.  HUGE fan of the Dixon ones.  If I was doing mine again, I MAY be tempted to use Knuckleduster.

Completely agree with you - the stampede should be scary - more are required.

I dunno, mate. I think the sight of ten cows stampeding towards you should be enough for most people's sensibilities!

Ten scrawny steers of 600 pounds each still adds up to three tons of beef on the hoof bearing down on you at a good clip.  If that doesn't raise your hackles, your hackles are broken! 

I have a new character name, Laramie "Lazy" Leadbrain.   lol  Now I just need the back story.

Like it.

Your kit bash station under construction looks a heck of a lot better than mine, but I just cobbled together the structure and never got around to painting or doing any roofing on it.  I really wish 4Ground had built a more reasonable train station...

Thanks Hentzau  :)

Your station building was one of the main drivers for me building this one - thank you for the inspiration.

Here's a detail of the the initial build



I ignored the 4Ground "module" and reduced the width and height of the Store area and extended the main roof by one bay.



I really wish 4Ground had built a more reasonable train station...

Yeap, got to agree with you - a mid-range kit could fill this gap.
