Working on my town. YEHAW!!!

Very tidy looking build.

You're making a nice job of the buildings, I like that you've hidden the finger joints on the mdf.

I pretty much only have Black Scorpion figures in my town, how do the Empress ones scale to them. You've shown some nice hats on your chaps and chapesses that would look good in Littly Whiskey.
Cheers

Cheers for that. Size wise the Empress figures are slightly on the taller side although they are scaled to the size of the actor so of course vary. Having said that most western gunmen seem to be well over 6' tall in real life. I may do an Alan Ladd just to see the size difference 

Not sure about Black Scorpion although I thing they are also big and I am sure will work quite well. They also work with Galloping Majors figures that are pretty much the same height as Empress.

If you look on the Empress site there is a bit of a size comparison. https://www.empressminiatures.com/the-wild-bunch-130-c.asp

Town is coming along nicely!

As for figure scales…..I used to play a lot of Wild West and we found as it’s more a skirmish game, it didn’t seem to matter so much as to height differences.    Unlike games where figures are ranked up alongside each other and it is more obvious, in real life, people do differ in height and build.

Any 'decent' town needs a school house.  But where is the school marm?  Will she be homely or lovely?  If the latter, how many local characters are pining for her? 

Like how you did the two horses hitched to a rail shown by the bank - on a separate base.  Gives me ideas.

Like that school/meeting house.  Well done!

[Paul @ Empress Miniatures]

Cheers guys. Much appreciated.

Next two western gunfight buildings with some Empress figures standing around.

Both buildings from Warbases and slightly pimped by moi.

Naughty cactus from Empress Miniatures.

You have quite the collection of buildings now.  Need the Doc's house and his sister and him as sculpts - and a buggy (?)(Open Range).  And that general store is begging for a good supply of scatter terrain (goods for sale).  Any plans for a lumber yard or a brewery?  And I'm sure there will be, at some point a livery stable and corral.  Train station?  Or beyond the rails?  Either is historical and Hollywood. 

Very nice saguaro cactus. 

Something only rarely included is houses for people.  Or at least a nice boarding house (The Shootist).

I have a goal to get my Old West table ready this year which means getting to work on my own buildings - many scratch built but a number of commercial products, too. (Peter Pig, Old Glory/Blue Moon, and Freikorp via QRF - I think the last discontinued).  Your thread is helping to maintain the enthusiasm to get there.

Thanks for the info, it looks like they might work.

A couple more nice additions to your town, Paul.  Looking forward to seeing it all together....

[Bugsda]

Brilliant work 

[Paul @ Empress Miniatures]

Cheers guys.

Wait an hour or more for a stage coach and then two of the buggers turn up.

Nicely done. I too am looking forward to seeing the whole town layout.
