Phil's New Website

This hasn't exactly been a 'vintage year' for my wargaming hobby.  It has though, finished on a high, which is undoubtedly a good thing. Some of you may recall that, around last Christmas (i.e. 2012), I began, tentatively, a ‘Wild West’ project. I built a couple of buildings, and bought some Dixon Miniatures’ figures. …

Here's 4Ground's 'Feature Building 1 Marshal's Office', completed as a Sheriff's Office.  I've touched up some of the paintwork, added some weathering, and 'tiled' the roof with 4Ground's shingles. The 'Feature Buildings' are a 'step up' in comparison to the other buildings - for one thing, all the internal doors open without my needing to resort to drill, pin vice and brass wire. …

Hurrah!!! I have my camera. And, to prove it, here are some Great Escape Games cacti. No 'dip' was used in the preparation of these cacti - base coat and drybrushing only.

And then we have some figures, also from Great Escape Games - first of all Lawmen:

And then Desperadoes:

The figures were painted by my usual method - white primer, followed by bright basecoats, a painted coat of Army Painter 'Strong Tone' Quick Shade 'dip', and lastly a squirt of Testors' 'Dull Cote'.
