Bitter Creek Todd – Legends of the Old West

Done some more work on Bitter Creek Todd, one of my Old West Gunfighters.

Here is the rear view.

I need to finish the basecoats and then he will receive a wash to add shadow.

Wild Bill Hickok

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.

Bill Longley from the Old West

Another work in progress shot of one of my Old West gunfighters, Bill Longley.

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.

Tally Ho! Workbench

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.

For these models, 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.

French Partisan Band

Slow but steady progress on my Bolt Action French Partisan Band…

Okay just slow progress.

Judge Guthrie Prentice

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.

Old West Stage Coach

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.

Venturing into Darkest Africa

These are some of my Foundry Darkest Africa figures currently on the workbench.

These are nice models with a lot of character. I will be using them for Tally Ho! games and also Doctor Who scenarios.

Enfield – A League of Exceptional Gentleman

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.

Enfield

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.
