WHIRLWIND HITS IMELDA!

Whirlwind Milly hit the town of Imelda last night, a quick but deadly assault which took out the water tower and the backyard of "the spirit of the times" newspaper office!

I was quietly laying out my town just to check for gaps before commisioning Colin to build a few more fantastic buildings, when Milly my eight month old mastiff puppy lumbered into the room. With one paw she managed to take out the backyard and the water tower, before i managed to grab her and push her out of the room before the whole town was destroyed. I feel i got off quite lightly and have learned my lesson, "Do not put your lovely cherished buildings on the floor where they might be stamped on"!

Anyway i have now come up with my wishlist, mainly from perusing the fantastic photos which can be found on http://www.ghosttowngallery.com/ a great site for reference material and a fun idea for a holiday travelling around the US of A photographing old ghost towns (trouble is i dont think my wife would agree).

HEY GRINGOS! this town is mine!

Howdy! sorry for the lack of action, thigns have been peaceful in Imelda lately. So i thought i better give you all a little something just to let you know that there are a few of us still alive.
So here is a "Mexican town" showcase, as ever all the buildings were made by the great Colin Rush. cheers Colin

next weekend we will be oiling our sixguns for another shoot-out, so please pop back for some more fun and action in the Town of Imelda. thanks for looking

CLOSE UP PHOTOS OF PINKERTON MEN

Here are some close up photos of my new pinkerton posse, hopefully soon to be used in a scenario i am working on for the campaign.
These were great figures to paint, the top six are Artizan designs the bottom one is a Foundry miniature.
With this posse i wanted to give them a professional look without being uniformed. So i went for the same brown base colour on their coats . Then highlighted them using various buffs and browns. If you want more details on how i painted leave a comment and i will get back to you.
