Slideshow view

	Gunfighter These are the old Foundry western range.
	Gunfighter These shots are also the first test of my new Nikon Coolpix 2000. My previous brushes with digicams have been disappointing, but this one blew me away.
	Gunfighter Ha! Crossdraw holster!
	Gunfighter Two gun action.
	Gunfighter Red jacket, green vest... any relation?
	Gunfighter This guy looks like a show-off, so I painted his gun silver. My daughter insisted on putting the rock on the base.
	Gunfighter Looks pretty much like the other guy with moustache... well, they were all inbreeding anyway.
	Gunfighter Some time after painting this guy, I realized the clothes are actually cavalry uniform or something like that. Oh, wel....
	Gunfighter I named him "The Finn" for some reason.
	Gunfighter I should have taken a photo of the other side, because I a little trick with the hat.
	Gunfighter I call him Mr. Beans. Note the moustache again. Do these guys all have the same barber? Oh, wait, there is just one barber.
	Gunfighter Note how clean he licks his plates. Those beans sure are mighty tasty!
	Gunfighter Macro focus depth is very shallow. The downside of automatics is that sometimes they don't do what you meant, like this one focusing on the revolver.
	Gunfighter Ok, this is better. Note the sickly yellow skin color. These were the first figures I did after a long hiatus, and some things like shading flesh color took some time to relearn.
	Gunfighter Would you like buckshot with that, sir?
	Gunfighter Pinkerton man. I actually resisted the urge to paint these in Technicolor pink. Unfortunately, the black wasn't so good either. Black is surprisingly hard to do well.
	Gunfighter Another Pinkerton man. Should have given him a colorful vest for contrast.
	Gunfighter Mounted indians from Geronimo's band.
	Gunfighter Keeping the focus off the horse's head took some work.
	Gunfighter From this angle, he looks like a celtic fanatic on horseback.
	Gunfighter's horse See the horse's head.
	Gunfighter's horse It's a really nice horse, honest. The owner used it only for Sunday raids.
	Gunfighter Okay, here's the rider too.
	Gunfighter Again, a more colorful vest would have been nicer.
	Gunfighter Black hat, white duster... is he good or bad? Argh! Can't tell!
	Gunfighter The red shirt is pure coincidence, honest.
	Gunfighter zombie He's seen better days.
	Gunfighter zombie These are actually Foundry figures. They did one pack of these around the time Deadlands debuted.
	Gunfighter zombie Funny, I was better at shading rotten flesh than healthy.
	Gunfighter zombie More undead menace straight from boot hill.
	Gunfighter zombie I tried to do all of these in earthy tones, as if they'd been buried for some time and got dirt and mud all over their clothes while clawing to get back above the ground.
	Gunfighter zombie I like these poses, they're rather zombie-like.
	Gunfighter zombie Is he angry because someonle stole his boots?
	Njetponimai City Vulture View(tm) of Njetponimai City.
	Njetponimai City View down the main street. The ground looks a bit boring, haven't had the time to ruin the sheet yet.
	Njetponimai City North City view. The building at the end of the main street is from Miniature World Makers and it's actually latex. Very nice, but slightly too small for 28mm figures.
	Njetponimai City I bought a bunch of these ArmorCast boxes when a local gamestore was dumping them.
	Njetponimai City View down the Main Street.
	Njetponimai City Some additional realism.
	Njetponimai City The wooden buildings were considerably more work than the adobe buildings... small wonder I've got only four of them to the ten adobe ones.
	Njetponimai City South City.
	Njetponimai City The Diamond gang sets out.
	Njetponimai City The Club gang creeping about.
	Njetponimai City Ok, we're set. Come and get it!
	Njetponimai City Mr. Red from the Diamond gang camps in the yard.
	Njetponimai City Mr. Black and Doc Gray.
	Njetponimai City The Kid covers the corner while Bob Jones just cowers.
	Njetponimai City John Dough dashes across the street.
	Njetponimai City The Kid and Bob Jones. Bob decides to creep up towards Mr. Red's position. Bad call, as it turns out.
	Njetponimai City Doc Gray joins Mr. Red.
	Njetponimai City John Dough getting into position.
	Njetponimai City Ouch! Mr. White flanks The Kid.
	Njetponimai City The Kid backs up Bob.
	Njetponimai City John pops Mr. Black one in the belly.
	Njetponimai City This is looking bad. Both The Kid and Bob are down, looks like Frank Ernest has to handle this side on his own, one against three.
	Njetponimai City Did I say three-on-one? I meant four-on-one ofcourse. Frank is bravely holding the fort against Doc Gray and Wyatt Burpe.
	Njetponimai City Mr. Red joins Mr. Black smoking out Joe Smith, who was broken his gun (pink marker).
	Njetponimai City The end. Our brave fellows are downed by the scurrilous corpse-looting Doc Gray. The first actual casualty in the game too.

	Apaches Here's my new batch of Apache warriors. Mr. G is not in there, he's coming a bit later.
	Apaches The obligatory overhead view.
	Apaches These are all Foundry models.
	Apaches Full 24 models with no duplicates. Gotta love these proper metal ranges. There's actually even more in the range, even though it is one of the smaller ones.
	Apaches I decided to put in a few dashes of color after all.
	Apaches The basing is Vallejo paste, dried tea (Earl Grey) and used corn media. I was actually thinking about doing these with coffee, but I picked the wrong jar by accident and just went with it.
	Apaches Hmmm... maybe the feather are supposed to have black tips?
	Apaches There are a few traditional weapons mixed in, though as a whole the Apaches are pretty well armed.
	Apaches More warriors join the fray.
	Apaches There are actually pretty few colors used in this lot.
	Apaches Closeup on the warriors.
	Apaches There's even a guy with a spear.
	Apaches Yeah, I could do better with the patterning...
	Apaches I'm not quite sure the ochre was the right choice. It's pretty darn yellow in the end...
	Apaches Someone has been to Mexico...
	Apaches Deadeye gets ready to split the arrows with a... bullet?
	Apaches Closeup on two warriors.
	Grande Fiesta Mexicana And here's a batch of Mexicans.
	Grande Fiesta Mexicana The obligatory overhead view.
	Grande Fiesta Mexicana I was doing this fast and loose, so I skipped doing any patterns on the ponchos.
	Grande Fiesta Mexicana Hmmm... cordage. I really don't like painting it.
	Grande Fiesta Mexicana More peasanty fellows.
	Grande Fiesta Mexicana The straw hats are pretty light.
	Grande Fiesta Mexicana These are all rather old Foundry figures, though I suspect some are actually older than others. There are noticeable style variations in them.
	Grande Fiesta Mexicana Firing line waiting for the Apache raid.
	Mr. G and Company It's Mr. G's merry band!
	Mr. G and Company The obligatory overhead view.
	Mr. G and Company These are all Foundry figures.
	Mr. G and Company Actually, I'm not sure if they sell this exact set anymore.
	Mr. G and Company These were pretty fun to paint.
	Mr. G and Company I did all these in full 3-color unlike the Mexicans.
	Mr. G and Company Not really sure what the club should look like. I presume it's wood.
	Mr. G and Company Hmmm... should have redone the eye on the Shin Kazama there.
	Mr. G and Company Kneeling section.
	Mr. G and Company Mr. G and some firewater.

	Cavalry Rides In The obligatory overhead view.
	Cavalry Rides In These are the old sweats, veteran cavalry troopers.
	Cavalry Rides In Ride on, ride on...
	Cavalry Rides In There was actually substantial leeway in the equipment.
	Cavalry Rides In I painted all the horses as bays partly because they really color-coded units and partly because I was just lazy.
	Cavalry Rides In Maybe I should have done a little bit more variations.
	Cavalry Rides In I have the dismounted versions of these coming up.
	Cavalry Rides In Riding off to the sunset.

	Cavalry Rides In Making the frontier safe again.
	Cavalry Rides In The firing poses are pretty good for a change.
	Cavalry Rides In Unfortunately I don't recall who sculpted these. Even Foundry site doesn't mention it...
	Cavalry Rides In Did something move over there?
	Cavalry Rides In These were pretty fun to paint.

	Braves of the Plains The footmen are actually very old Alternative Armies figures.
	Braves of the Plains The riders are Foundry.
	Braves of the Plains It's Mr. G! I have the foot version also, but I didn't dig it up to match colors. Whatever...
	Braves of the Plains I had to borrow one horse from the orcs because I had a horseless rider for some reason. Maybe a freebie sample?
	Braves of the Plains These are full of character. Unfortunately I feel I wasn't really doing them justice trying to clear them off my workbench.
	Braves of the Plains These guys are more traditional with no firearms.
	Braves of the Plains The fur hat could be more like raccoon or something. My head was really not in this.
