Howdy Partner.

Spured by the train board (and a pending build), Red Dead Redemption, and the painting Posse. Below is my meagre offerings chronicling the birth of New silverton.


Pastor N.D Wolfwood


Marshall Johnson


Deputy Eli


Landon Rickets


Old Timer


Shady Slim

Figures are produced by Black Scorpion in resin, supplied with round slota bases. I've mounted on washers to reduce height as they are 32mm figures.

Ooooh!
Nice one, mate.
 

I certainly recognise those fellas.
I just didnt realise that you had so many members in the Posse!

I have some of hose same figure, and although they are wonderful sculpts, their size could be intimidating.
I shall be doing the same thing to reduce their height a little but with coins.
I was going to put them all in the same gang, but I think that I will spread them out so that just represent the taller fellas in the population.

Thanks Mason!

I agree about their size, they are certainly chunkier too in comparison to Hasslefree. But they are very nice sculpts with versatile clothing which could suit a few different genres  - even though the moulds are a little rough and require some cleaning. I found cutting off their tabs altogether and mounting on a 25mm washer brought them a few mm's down, but they are sill among the taller folks of New Silverton. But I don't feel they are 'too' noticeably different, I'm not going for storm troopers thankfully.

I put in 5 into the Posse (Slim didn't make the cut).

bang.. crash... bang... bang... cut... cut.. bang.. slam..

New Silverton has it's first purpose built building. Oh look, Mr Rickets is showing us around.


Nice wallpaper, very fashionable. Thanks OW members for finding those patterns.

TA-DA... A, Gunsmith


The verandah looks quite sturdy there Rickets. And yes Mr Mason, that is your sign tutorial put to good use.


It must be a rough town, there are already wanted criminals in the area, and the first building in town sells guns! Did Rickets just pocket one?

C&C welcome. I am undecided on basing it, it's already very sturdy... thoughts?

Lovely job on the first building Matt! I really like the PJ on the Marshall too (I like them all but he's my favourite!).

[Mason]

 

That is a lovely building, Matt.
Bloody gorgeous.
 


I see that there roof has a touch of rust and the weathering is top drawer.
I like the sign too.
 

Basing: It is a matter of personal taste.
The only reason I do it is for added strength and stability.
You may well feel that it is not warranted and the building does look great without.

[joroas]

Loving the rust. 

[Elbows]

Yep, that's a lovely shop!  (PS: Nice job on the Old Timer...that figure and his shotgun toting brother are my favorite figures of the BS line).

[OSHIROmodels]

Great stuff 

Love the corrugated roof, that's come out a treat 

cheers

Cracking job

[Gutbukkit]

Brilliant stuff. You've used the same models as I was going to use for Marshal Leigh Johnson and Deputy Eli . Another great project to watch! You guys are putting me to shame!

aw, thanks steve. I like Mr Rickets, he has a cheerful glow and a sideways glance that are endearing i think.

Thanks Joroas, Paul and James for the comment on the rust. I find it difficult to look realistic, I end up going too far, or too orangey. It's nice to see that reality has lots of variables and oxidisation occurs differently in different contexts. I think I need to find some more good rusty roof shots for reference.

Cheers Paul, regarding durability it feels pretty hardy so far, as the base in composed of 2 layers of MDF and a lot of wood glue, so its pretty sturdy. I may leave of further basing as it will give it a larger storage footprint.

Yeah, he certainly grows on you, and his 'black-beard' style brother is a heck of a character too!

No, no shame Gutbukkit, just commradory. I'm looking forward to being excited by your builds, to continue my humble offerings. I find this a bit of a solitary hobby, so sharing with you all makes it much more fun, as there is just one guy I game with locally and he is more interested in GW gaming, I prefer smaller/simpler skirmish games - oh and creating all the props.

Cracking job

  thanks Mamma.

I have a few more figs to do before Christmas, then onto some more exciting scenery for New Silverton.

Ps.. when I start the train build, should that get posted on the train board or insert it in here? Just slap a finished pic in this thread for completeness sake?

Cheers

I am keeping mine in here, as it is part of my OW project.

[Constable Bertrand]

Fair enough ^_^

A few more citizens arrived in town.

Angry Abigale, be careful when she is with her friend 'Loud Linda'


Enoch Hinks - he cleans his teeth with a fork


Irish - he likes to play cards


James Kelly - a showy Englishman who owns most of the town


Vash the Stampede - the humanoid typhoon

[Mason]

Bloody brilliant, mate.
Love 'em all!
 

Enoch Hinks - he cleans his teeth with a fork

 
That cracked me up.
