The Camp

Been working on adding a camp scene which can be used either at the edge of town , or as part of stand alone scenario.

The base is a piece of carpet tile, with PVA and the usual sand mix. The tents are separate Renedra items , mounted on base so they can be used  individually.  The fire contains a blinky so when switched on it flashes to provide the centre piece of the campfire scene.

 The various pots and pans are by Dixon , as are the 4 figures

More beans? - Anyone seen Mongo.?

Off to work we go.

The hitching rope , with 4 hourses by Knuckleduster. 

 

Indians & Banditos

Well the title says it all. Another top up of kit for the Old West  , which  rounds off the figure collection and provides all the various elements required for the the "Serenity Campaign".

So first up  the natives from the Northern Indian Territory - these are the  factor that will unite all the various factions, and of course they will be happy to cause trouble at any time. These lads are by "Artizan Designs"

Coming up from the South we also have a nefarious band of "Banditos". These are by Knuckleduster (as is the casualty)

And some transport for the Man with No Name

So a few more items left to sort out, some more unmounted horses, wounded horses,few more wagons
and i think it will be finished

We go a ridin' into town - a-whoopin' and a hollerin'.

There are some troublemakers heading for town, led by Curly Bill Brocious, that notorious bandit outlaw - and some time tax collector for the county - he knew where all the outlaws hid out and nobody was not going to pay him - of course I am sure he would get his "cut".  The book I read earlier in the year on Wyatt Earp had a whole section on Bill and him helping out collecting taxes - bizarre but true.

These guys are by Knuckleduster Miniatures. I was initially disappointed in them in the raw metal form, but they were transformed once cleaned up and the undercoat was on -funny how some figures do that and others look worse   - there was a lot more detail and life in them than a first look at the bare metal had suggested.

Curly Bill

It does remind of the film Tombstone character

Now the townsfolk may just have the solution...Thanks for the pointer Curt!

Also I manged to get the complete train all set up, (it's 3 foot long with just two carriages)  with the Marshall trying to stop those darn train robbers

The main long term campaign game system should start this week as well. With the notorious Scott gang attempting to put one over on the good people of Serenity.

Right back to painting things green , brown and blue..
