JamieM - a passel of Wild West buildings

Bit of an odd one for me today, some Wild West buildings (is a passel a thing?). Cowboys are right up there with ninjas and pirates as cool toys to play with, but I hadn’t played any meaningful games with the few cowboys that I have for years. Looking at my stuff at the start of lockdown, I discovered that amongst the embarrassingly large number of scenery pieces I hadn’t painted, I had quite a few Wild West type buildings, so I decided they would be one of the first jobs to do.


All 28mm in scale and all from TTCombat.  Almost all picked up as part of job lots they occasionally do to clear space in their offices as far as I can tell.


The Wild West buildings that I have are mostly brightly coloured to add some Zing to the Wild West, so these are a mix of bright and woodstain (with odd planks picked out to add interest)


The Hotel was one of the pieces I treated myself to as a care package for lockdown as I've long admired it and just never gotten around to treating myself to it.


I bought the extension to the Sheriff's office to give myself a jail, which is rather nice and the two cells could be useful for adventures.


The other random building is a crypt entrance, which I found myself painting too and will be useful in a number of other game genres I think.


Quite a packed town now, so big it needs a Fire Hall, big hotel and Hatmakers, so I really should try to get some use out of the Dead Man's Hand and Fistful of Lead rules that I own.
