I tried to do a 15mm Siamese cat as a royal mascot for an Ayyuthaya-era Thai army once. It ended up looking like the little lamb Mary decided to match up with mint sauce.

a little well

Got a little well from Minibits today, and built it just now



A fun bit of set dressing for Wild West games.

Mrs F asked if the elves were loosing their magic and needed a wishing well...

When informed it was for Cowboys not Elves (of course) she said was a train coming for the cowboys, which to me seems like a green light to get a train for the Cowboys. Haven't yet explained that the cowboys are Chinese Tong.

My understanding is that Chinese labour helped build the railways so the Tong have an interest.

I trust you already have some pig models.

Mounted 7th Cavalry (28mm)

More big figures for Dracula's America



As usual having taken photos I can now see all sorts of missed bits. Still not sure I'm doing highlights bright enough. They seem very bright when painted, but disappear in photos, and seem quite subtle on the figures.

Sarissa precision?

Yes, with additions of various extra bits to the mine tower.

The yard of the Blacksmith's is largely dry fitted together, so I can do some detailing and painting.
