They look superb mate! Well up to your usual high standard. As the man Smokezombie said, we will have to rob them! :D Or put a few bullets through them - aiming at something else, of course! lol

Looking forward to playing Wednesday. 8)

Great work on those wagons. Just the inspiration I need to dig out mine and get to work on them.

Looking forward to seeing what you do with yours.
Always up for stealing ideas being inspired.
 :D



Cracking stuff Mason. They look I finally better now, especially the stagecoach. I'm gonna rob that beastie!!

Cheers, mate.
That could be a funny scenario: Two Outlaw gangs trying to rob the same stagecoach!
 :D

Could be a laugh... ;)




Hoping to get some more done tomorrow, the only problem is now I am torn between finishing off the Water Tower or doing the horses for the stagecoach....hmmmm.

Decisions, decisions.

You are right, mate.
As it goes, you are nearly right....as I did finish the Water Tower and after that I started painting some......civilians.
Not horses, no, but civilians instead.
 o_o

Talk about keep losing focus.....shiny, shiny, shiny..... ::)

Piccies of the Water Tower later.
I can already tell it will be a bugger to get decent pictures of it.....

Erm...I actually have two shotgun-toting ladies.
One looks wealthier than the other.
The poorer-looking one is Foundry, I think, not sure about the rich bitch.

Well, here they are, and I was right: An absolute git to try and take decent pictures of.

The Water Tower





And some with that nosy bitch, Brian's Mum, for scale...















The pictures are a little 'washed out'.
It is a difficult beast to get a decent picture of, though.

Maybe it will appear better in the pictures that will appear after our next set of games later in the week.
 :D

Look at that pipe sir! A fantastic bit o plumbing there!  :-*

I'd have to disagree James, the ground doesn't look very cultured at all  ;D It would have more flagstones if it were.

Thank you, sir.
It does have the same ingredients as the 'yoghurt' arena board just used in a different way.

It is not worth mentioning anything to do with culture to Bibbles.
He is a hard Northern lad, ya know.
Culture is for wimps.

It is only quick as you did all the hard work on the buildings, mate.
It shouldn't surprise you either as they are great builds.
I am just playing around with them and having fun, you did all the hard work.

 o_o

The Civilians of Upsheets Creek should provide a nice distraction now and again from scenery building.
I made a start on a few recently.

Well, they had already been started by someone else.
In fact, the first couple had been pretty much finished by someone else.

The Soiled Dove (Mama Mute*) and Hammers the Blacksmith....




These were both painted by panzerfaust65 and given to me as a pressie last year as occupants of Krappefortt, my ruined Fantasy town.

I think they will see much better service and blend in perfectly in Upsheet Creek, so I have given them a slight alteration and rebased them in such a way so that they will fit in with the rest of my planned Old West inhabitants.


They are actually fantasy civilians but they should fit in just fine in the Old West with the apparel they are sporting.

More Civilians are being finished this afternoon....



*The Soiled Dove has since been renamed Mama Mute, proprieter of the Ladies Outfitters, and the smith has gained the title of 'Hammers'.

Tower looks great. Those townsfolk look like they'll fit in nicely in a Wild West town.
