Complete reboot of wild west collection (10/4/2025 stagecoach goods! )

[Harry Faversham]

That Stage looks lovely!
One tip I was given years ago about using twine. Melt a candle and put yer twine in it, while still molten. After it sets, you pull it free, and all the fluff gets stripped off!

Thank you Sir!

The bonus to using the wash was that after drying it gave the twine thread a little bit of firmness so looks pretty good if I may say so myself  .

Man, your stuff looks good!  Nice work all around...

Thank you kindly CapnJim! I am finally, after many years in the hobby, getting to the point where I can look at my collection and say: "yes, I'm happy with that!"  . I also really enjoy getting a little bit creative and putting extra bits on to make my kits more appealing, trying out new techniques etc.

Obviously it's a somewhat slow process due to many things,  but a little at a time is better than nothing 😉.

Painted up the stagecoach driver today, Jamboree "Bo" Johnson. He doesn't speak English, mainly gibberish but seems to understand just fine. Best teamster in the state!

Probably have some epic conversations with Gabby Johnson

Authentic frontier gibberish, indeed!  ("Rarey!)

Got a little bit done on the collection. Three 3D printed cattle miniatures. Got to have some animals  .

All looking good so far.  Critters matter.  But now you need some longhorns!  Proper old west cattle.

Nice work on the stagecoach.  Love the emblem on the doors.

Thank you FifteensAway 😊! All coming along nicely and most things are hopefully ready for the first game in my Meatballs Western Trilogy starting September 16 . I have four players and I'll write the scenarios and umpire. First game is called For A Few Jarfulls Of Lingonberries  .

I'm currently working on a TT Combat Pitchstone Municipal kit and will probably have dryfitted the three buildings and started painting them in the week to follow.

I’m working on those same figures now.  Got them from Garrison Miniatures on Etsy.  Planning to order the stagecoach and a couple more packs.

Due to health problems I haven't done much in a while. I found some mojo and finished off TT Combat's Pitchstone Undertaker kit. I've had it sitting dryfitted for several months and finally I put some paint on it.

I printed some Victorian wallpaper and carpet patterns and cut to size to add a little to the building.

The mini is Pablito (Heroic 28mm) from Zombicide Undead or Alive.

Really love the interior detail you added.

[FifteensAway]

Glad to see you "back in the saddle".  Health challenges suck!  But we sometimes just have to live with them, I became the "proud" owner of some titanium hardware back in October which, thankfully, didn't slow me down too much.

Cheers mate! Those little things make a big difference to a kit.

Thank you FifteensAway! Yes, they do indeed.  I have chronic pain problems since 2015 which are getting a little worse every year . Which affects the time and energy I have for the hobby.

I'm still riding out when I have good days .

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