The Town of Upsheet (Wolf?) Creek: Captain Blood's Pics!..... UD:28/09

Ah, it looks really great! You've done a very fine job of making it look lived-in and 'real'.

Excellent job Mason, git yer a tin star for that one ole' hoss

I almost love your work on the sheriff's building.  My reservation is the stucco element on the what appears to be the jail side of things.  Not sure why but it just seems 'off'.  I know stucco is a very old technique but for some reason it isn't resonating old west for me, doubly strange since it is essentially the same as coated adobe.  Go figure.  Otherwise, excellent job.

I thank you, sir.

Thank you.
I am not bothered by the stucco look.
In fact, I like it.
It adds a little variety in a predominantly plankboard town.

Maybe the first occupant was more fashion conscious than your average pioneer.

An up to date list would be nice  
(Think of it as the Upsheet Creek Chamber of Commerce directory... )

The list.
Or should I say the Upsheet Creek Chamber of Commerce...

There are some 25+ participants at BLAM, all of which will be a character in the game with a figure to represent them.
There will also be thirteen 'named' buildings relating to some of the characters.
I may do more but thirteen is the target for buildings in time for BLAM.

Starting with the buildings, so far there are the following:

The Hardware Store (Eric the Shed)
The Ladies Outfitters (Malamute)
The Bath House (jimbibbly)
The Physician (Dr De'ath)
The Brewery Warehouse (Thunderchicken)
The Optometrist (Captain Blood)
The Builder's (Matakishi)
The Sheriff (TBC  )

So, eight 'named' buildings finished (apart from the signs on the Sheriff's place) with five more to go.

There are also a few other builders that do not have names attached to them, although Gutbukkit has laid claim to the Khazi....

As for character figures, the following have been finished:

Hammers*
Malamute
Dr De'ath
Eric the Shed
Elk 101**
Tom the B*stard
Captain Blood
Hu Rhu**
Dewbakuk**

* Not sure if he is actually coming but the figures has already been done anyway.
**These have not been named on the thread as characters yet, but they will be added soon.
 




I also already have figures of the following characters that need painting:

jimbibbly
smokezombie
Damas
Silent Invader
Overlord
Elysium 64
Doug Em4
Ray Earle



That leaves the following figures to be sourced:

Matakishi
Thunderchicken
Legionnaire Bert
AndyM
gamer Mac
Andrew May
Dr the Viking
Grimm
Vikotnik
Green Knight
Nurgle HH

You're the sheriff aren't you

[Captain Blood]

For the last few named characters, just buy a pack of FPW Prussians  

[Mason]

You're the sheriff aren't you 

 
Not me, mate.
I am not in there at all.

For the last few named characters, just buy a pack of FPW Prussians 

 
With a suggestion like that, we are definitely thinking along the same lines.
I think you will like what I am going to do.
I just hope that they have a sense of humour.
 

[Dewbakuk]

I just hope that they have a sense of humour.
 

They bought Commando magazine... I don't think humour is an issue

[Elk101]

This is all a form of voodoo isn't it? We're all doomed to suffer the fates of our characters! 

Quite an undertaking mate. Let me know if you want any help sourcing figures. I don't need to know who they're for (it'll spoil the surprise) just what you need.

[Silent Invader]

Intriguing!

I had heard that story and was counting on that as a good reference towards a good sense of humour.

I do hope not.
You have not seen some of the planned 'random events'....

It should be easy enough if I keep on track.
As for figures: I am looking for a figure to use as a Barber, preferably with a bald head.
 

Intriguing!

Good.
Silent Invader should be one of the first to be painted up.
 

[Black Burt]

Blue moon from Old Glory UK has a guy that could be a bald barber but its part of a set of Tombstone civilians for £30

It is rather dangerous being the sheriff Mason. I hear it is much safer being the deputy as he gets shot less. Or so Mr Marley tells me.

Sounds like a barrel of laughs all around. This colonial certainly wishes his commonwealth 'lords' a jovial day at the upcoming gala.

Matt.

[Dr. The Viking]

Ha! You will never find anything even remotely awesome enough to replace me!

I want to be in charge of the paint store. That's the first real chemistry!
