Complete reboot of wild west collection (1/6/25 Signage added! )

[Legionnaire]

That is a very-nice looking building.  I bet people are just dyin' to get in there...

Thank you CapnJim, very kind of you. Sometimes they literally arrive in droves  .

Finished painting up some luggage and goods bits I was given some time ago. Simple paint jobs but the stagecoach look much better now with something to freight  .

Lovely stage coach

When I rebooted my wild west collection last year, I bought several things. To be fair, I managed to get 98% assembled and painted and played with, but as with us in the hobby, the "Oh, shiny!" is strong. Other projects were embarked upon and I has some unfinished business with the wild west collection.

Some 3D resin printed horses, lovely models and a spare driver.

I have put off the TT Combat Main Street MDF kit time and time again. Mostly because I was a little intimidated by all the bits, TWELVE sprues  ! But now, it's out of the packaging and I hope to have it done in a week or two, depending on work, health, energy levels etc.

Currently, all this is only washed but I aim to make a start at priming the horses and driver tomorrow.

This kit, TT Combat MDF Pitchstone Main Street, has been sitting untouched on my shelf for over a year! I found the size of it a bit intimidating and put it off again and again.

Finally I got the courage to get it done. I was just interested in getting it done, no frills. Hence some very simple, basic, rudimentary spray painting and no interior decoration at this point. I reckon it still took me the best part of THREE working days to cut out, spray and assemble this huge kit  . But, for £33 it's a very price worthy kit.

What you get:

A scaffold and 5 assorted boxes as scatter terrain
A smaller single storey Dry Goods building.
A smaller two storey building that you can use as what you like with your own signage (doctor, tailor, assay office...)
A larger two storey building with a staircase and balcony (Barber, Mercantile and General Store signs included in the kit).

I have a sheet of Sarissa old west signs I was given by a member at my club so will stick some of those on.

And this is how the kit turned out with signage.

The buildings are looking good, but that stagecoach is primo!

Thank you sir! Yes, I agree! That 3D printed stagecoach was worth every penny   . I bought it from Geek Villain here in the UK, the casting, resin and clean up was top notch so therefore the model was a joy to work with.
