OLD WEST - Dead Man's Hand.


With the release of the new cowboy rules 'Dead Man's Hand' I thought it would be a good time to put my Old West collection on the blog. It is a fair size collection with 100 painted figures and most of the buildings in the following pictures.
Cheers,
Pat.

    Really nice stuff there Pat. I have been meaning to ask about your terrain boards.

    Are the base boards based on insulation foam or do you use a more 'canny' method?

      Thanks Chaps.

      Roman, not sure if you mean the boards for the buildings or the actual table? If it is the buildings, then 'Artists mounting board'. If it is the actual table surface then it is MDF which has then been covered in 'tile grout', when dry, cover in PVA and sprinkle with railway ballast and sand mix. When dry, paint then flock, then drybrush the flock.

      Cheers,
      Pat.
