Ford's Canyon - The James Gang Train Robbers- NEW UPDATE 6-9-15!

[Digits]

Yes with lots of nice additional detailing.  Always a great way of making gaming on it memorable.

Very nice work and I strongly approve of the "This is Anfield" poster I spotted in the background of one of those photos...

Thanks guys! But much like Mason, Digits, you have set the bar pretty damn high on details!

Ha! Thanks Doug! My wife rides horses professionally here in the states, and her competition horses name is "Captain Fantastic". If I pay the bills, I get to name them! The next she gets has already been decided will be named "Anfield"

Hey guys,
 Another little update for the 'ol 4Ground Bank!

Beautiful work as always.  I'm patiently waiting to order another large batch of 4ground buildings.  Of the new big ones - which are your favourites?

Thanks a lot!

Hmmm... that's a tough one. The Bank easily made it to the top of my least favorite to build! I'm pleased with the end result, but getting there...  

I really like the corner buildings, especially the Undertakers. I think I've bought 3 of those so far and mashed them around, repainted and whatnot to make different businesses, ironically not one being an undertaker! That one I think you can change the most around with the interiors and porch overhangs. So I'd put the Undertaker as my favorite kit - but not as an undertaker!

I am going to start on the Sassy Gal this week hopefully, but I have this feeling it's just going to be so much bigger than everything else on the table that it is going to look out of place. I just need to stop worrying about it and just get it built!

[Elbows]

Yeah, the Sassy Girl is neat but I think I'll be passing on it simply because it's soooo big.  It would be fun to play an entire game inside the saloon though...

Now that I've finally figured out how to add images, I thought I'd show a quick photo of my 4Ground stagecoach. I know some of the other guys have been talking about it and wasn't sure if it's bad form to be throwing a photo of your work on someone else's thread, so I figured I'd just do this instead.



Something pretty easy to improve the look of the stage is Woodland Scenics dry transfers. They are awful to work with and the lettering is difficult to get on straight, especially in such a confined area, but it's the Old West and it's not supposed to be perfect - at least that's what I keep telling myself!

[Digits]

Looks good with the old glory crew.  I'm with you, letterin an stuff is meant to look rough and ready in the west!

I may have missed it someplace, but how did you make the muddy roads? They look wonderful!

[ivor13]

Ha! They're not mine! They are made by Battlefield Terrain Concepts. I got them at Historicon last year, really expensive imho, that's why I only got one set. I'm in the process of making my own roads on MDF board and a product called Liquitex flexible modeling paste. I think it will end up working well, I've done one test board so far,  just got to get the rest of the boards cut to get  going.

I did a little upgrade to my Gun Shop - my goal was to try to create something similar to The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly, with the shooting range.

Love it, do the targets fall in half when they turn sideways and you stamp pn the planks

You have done a splendid job on these. I am not a fan of the MDF builds, but you have done an outstanding job on bringing them to life.

Amazing

Oh my! The gun range out back is a fantastic idea and very well executed!    

I may have to borrow that for a back yard for my gun shop.
