Gravestones?
« on: 15 January 2012, 04:46:06 PM »
Does anyone have a pic of Blue Moons 15 count Gravestones? Their catalog has them listed but no pics. I'm looking to make a Boot Hill for a game.
Never tell me the odds.

Did you have a look at their Horror line?  I believe there is photo there of the cemetery and it show gravestones.  This is in the Blue Moon range.

I'm still in the search for the best all around cemetary parts for my Old West town. Right now the name of the town is Purgatory. Yes I used to watch the tv show. Stones/Crosses.  What's the best for diorama type stuff?
I'm not rich so I need to find the right supplier. Hopefully they carry all.
If worse comes to worse I could try and make them myself.
Any tips would be great.

The typical grave marker in the old west was not a tombstone but a wooden headboard or wooden cross. A high quality one wood have names carved in but most would just be painted on and faid in a few years. Popcicle or craft sticks work fine for these - just google Boothill markers for an idea.

Head stones were generally reserved for people of note or children because there were few carvers and they were expensive to move.

One item quite common was fencing off graves - sometimes individual graves, sometimes to to six family plots. Both wooden picket fences and wrought iron were used.

Hallmark - not sure who has now, Last Square did - had some nice 15 mm funeral monuments.  Not sure if Peter Pig make any but might.  After that, as far as I know, you are at the scratch building end of the spectrum - such as those pop sickle stick ideas (very budget conscious).
