Five days away and what has been offered for our viewing pleasure!!!  :o

That wagon train does deserve an outing on a gaming table, as much as possible, even though I'm rooting for the Native side to win at the end :D

Church is just fab!  8) Looks to miss that cemetery still, though ;)

That tree will be a nice addition, I have eyed similar ones at local pet stores and now you might have give me a reason to get one :) Are you using it for the M.O.O.S.E as well so basing it good for both settings?

And did I spot you mentioning a ranch?  ;D

Nice looking tree Paul. Reminds me of the one in sleepy hollow. Most cool  8)

Cheers, mate.
Just what I thought when I saw it on ebay.
Great minds.... ;)



Great work Paul, the church and wagon train are superb and I am looking forward to seeing it finished.

Cheers, Simon.
Finished???
I doubt this bloody project will ever be finished as I keep getting a new idea when I see something and coming back to it.
I still have a few buildings and figures that need doing before I go buying anything else though....

Thanks, Amigo!

Naughty boy!
 lol

The bell(s) will be made out of green stuff.
I will be easier in the end, I reckon.



And here I was hoping for a hanging tree.

Aha!
I now NEED one of those for out of town lynchings.
And a Lynch Mob too.... >:D

It should see use in quite a few genres as I intend to make it as generic as possible.
 ;)

As for the ranch comment:
You are a bad man, Antti!
But: Yes! I will be making a small hacienda style adobe ranch for games out of town.
I already have the buildings so it would be wrong not to, wouldn't it?

Indeed it would, can't wait to see you start that!  :D

How do you find the time to do all this, I wonder, for me it takes ages to complete one single build  :?

I work shifts, mate, so often have time to myself during the day when the missus is at work.
Gives me time to get on with things undisturbed.

Oh, and soap operas.
I love soap operas.
My better half watches them and I slip out of the room and get a bit more done whilst she does so....

I've been working nights in shifts the last 5 weeks (5 nights work, 2 days off, 2 nights work, 5 days off, etc.) and especially the 5 days off periods suddenly have given me a lot of time to get a lot of stuff done, so I totally get that!

Until now, I have used most of the extra time to get some overdue praxctical tasks in and around the house out of the way, but I expect to be able to channel more love towards the hobby very soon!  :)

So, please keep inspiring us all with your brilliant ideas and wonderful execution!
Ask at the LAF, and answer shall thy be given!

Yup, you've got to get yourself a hanging tree. Mine is made out of a cutting from a mature ivy (hedera helix in case Dean is reading!). It looks suitability deformed. I haven't based it or re-foliated it yet though (along with everything else for my Old West town).

Mate, do you want a little bell? I picked up some in a $2 shop in the "craft/fabric" section a while back.

Oh well, my Project with the real medieval castle ends at the end of this month  :'( So if I don't manage to conjure a sudden work immediately, I will have lots of free time... I guess I can get some hobby projects moving then.

So to help Paul a bit, I made a list:  ;)  :D

- cemetary
- hanging tree + minis for that
- ranch + cattle + vaqueros
- creek (we haven't seen that yet, have we?)
- railroad personnel
- apaches + camp
- comanches (somebody has to get those done! ;) ) + camp
- wild life (buffalos, wolves, cougars (the animal types)

I guess this thread will go on forever!!  ;D

Shiftwork is certainly useful for finding time to get things done.
Pain in the arse in most ways, though.

It is nearly finished.

I figure that there really is no rush for a 'hanging tree' as I do already have a gallows in Town...











....although I WILL probably make one when I find a suitable example.

Thanks for the offer, mate, but I think it should be easy enough to make a bell from green stuff.
I shall be having a go at that soon.
 :D

And as for you....... >:D >:D

It may surprise you just how many of those items on your 'list' are either done, in hand or completely going by the wayside.... ;D ;D

I've run out of space for a gallows. I'm also too tight to buy one!

But the gallows are only for official hangings. Any self respecting lynchmob needs a hanging tree.
