Had a rare day off today so I built the last MDF kit from Battle Flag, the Saloon and gave my resin furniture a quick once over with some paint. Now, all is not well though. I did have a failure with the transfers for both the bank and the saloon  :(, the saloon one I didn't get to stick proper and one of the bank transfers is coming off... meh! I'll probably have to paint instead and/ or do some simple signs in Paint  :-[.

Anyhow, I give you (for the moment) the first settlements of Ashbury, Colorado!

Looking good!  Yeah, I was going to comment on the appearance of one of the transfers...not overly impressive looking!

Transfers can be tricky things to deal with. Was it a rub-on or a water slide transfer?

This was my first run-in with them, and it seemed a lot easier in the description... it was Battle Flag's own waterslide ones. The saloon one might've been a success if I had put it on before the wooden frame on the front, but that's a moot point.

After the Malady With Transfers, I went to Paint and made some simple paper signs instead. I'm actually quite happy with how they turned out. This experiment will come in handy for the next MDF buildings  :D.

Thanks.

I think the shingles are about £7, which seems a bit expensive. I might try to fashion something out of an old cornflakes box...

Warbases do an A4 shingle sheet "colonial" pattern for £2.00

Legionnaire - I've already bugged some other guys about it --- want to add some spice to your paper signs?

^Free downloadable fonts for Old West stuff.  I use several fonts for my cards and rules etc.  Could really spruce up your signage!  (see...obsession!)  :D
