Slow progress with Wild Bill Hickok. Wild Bill Hickok is part of the Foundry OW9/1 Shootists pack.
I decided to use a bit of green stuff to texture the base. This will combined with the Citadel Texture make the base look more like a base and less like a coin. I gave his trousers a coat of light brown paint.
Another work in progress shot of one of my Old West gunfighters, Bill Longley.

I have been sculpting the bases and painting some more Foundry miniatures from their Darkest Africa range that I am going to use with my Tally Ho! rules as well as Old West games.

I have continued to paint my Old West Gunslingers, I am hoping to get a few more finished, despite having started to paint some more.
This is how far I have got with Judge Guthrie Prentice, compared to previously, I have painted his coat, British Uniform 921.
Alas the photographs are a little dark, forgot to check all the settings before taking the pics, needed to up the white balance.
I was given a laser-etched MDF Stage Coach from Sarissa Precision for Cbristmas, it comes as a piece of laser-etched MDF and a smaller piece of laser-etched card.
It was very simple to put together, the card components were quite tricky and you need to watch that you don’t bend or crumple the card aspects. I was really impressed with the wheels which though looked quite delicate, were pretty easy to remove from the MDF.
The model I made looks very much like the marketing material and I was impressed with the quality of the kit and the explanatory instructions, which made construction very simple and relatively quick.
I had a pack of Darkest Africa miniatures from Foundry. I also intend to use them for VSF and Old West scenarios too, as well as Tally Ho! games. This is Enfield from the blister of A League of Exceptional Gentleman.
Another nicely crafted model from The Foundry. The model was glued to a two pence piece and I gave the model a white undercoat. I decided to use a bit of green stuff to texture the base. This will combined with the Citadel Texture make the base look more like a base and less like a coin. In addition I added some Citadel slate as a rock for the base.
Starting on painting the model with a light brown for the hat.
Have been painting some more of my Old West gunfighters, Bitter Creek Todd and Bitter Creek Todd.
These are very nice models, full of character and will work for games in the old west. Still some way to go on the painting though.
This is Ned Buck from the VOW232 The Outlaws blister.
Pretty much completed the base coat for this model.
The next stage will be to give the model a a wash of Citadel Shade: Agrax Earthshade.
This is the marketing image of the laser-etched MDF Stage Coach from Sarissa Precision.

It probably could do with a a lick of paint, but even in the raw “wooden” state could be used for games.
At Bristol’s Reveille II 2014 was a very nice looking A Very British Civil War game, complete with armoured cars.
According to the Reveille website the rules were Legends of the Old West.
