Figure Painting Total - August 2025

While on our way back from Vancouver, we stopped in to the Sentry Box.  I was very tempted by the Silver Bayonet forces, and the Hairfoot Jousting minis.  I did manage to get an older Blood Bowl team, as well as some Frostgrave figures.  

I had picked up the Model-in-a-month figure from Warhammer, and had built, primed, and base coated it before we left.  I stayed up late when we got back on the Friday and finished it in time to take it in for August 30.

Figure Painting Total - May 2022

 I finally took the plunge and started to get into Dust.  I’m a bit late to the party, with the newest version, Dust 1947 being cancelled last September.  I was not able to find any starters yet but I was able to find some figures and Operation boxes which gives me the maps.  I have enough Axis for a starter army minus a walker, and have more figures on order.

I also started getting figures for Street Wars New York City, picking up some noble warriors – The Braves; as well as some extra figures.

Making Gold Town

 Whitewash City: Gold Town – The Mining Town game is based in the old West but it is more about the experience of a miner visiting the local town than about shoot outs. 

 

I have had the Gold Town CD for over a decade and haven’t got around to making a playable copy.  This changed recently.

 

I printed out everything with my ink tank printer, and glued many of the sheets of pieces to medium weight chipboard and cut them apart with an Olfa knife. 

 

The Task Cards were printed onto 100 lb cardstock with the backs printed on the reverse.  The Gold Cards were printed on 100 lb cardstock and the backs were printed on a separate sheets and the two parts were glued together and then cut apart. 

The money was printed out on pastel printer paper and cut with a paper cutter as was the Gold Cards and Task Cards.

Figure Painting Total - July 2021

One of the issues with buying figures online is you can’t see the packages before you buy them.  My last order had mislabled figures so I bought another pack of the right figures.  Plus, when I finally got around to basing my objective markers from earlier, I found that Set 1 had the contents from Set 2 in it, so I bought another Set 1 to replace it. 

 

With the two Skinwalker tribes, I now have all the posses from Dracula’s America: Shadows of the West and Hunting Grounds.  There are two more posses from Forbidden Power, and the extra posse the Kin from the Osprey website plus a few more figures.  Then just some more Artizan or Pulp Figures, to finish Dracula’s America, Rules With No Name, In Her Majesty’s Name, and Mad Dogs.  There is a nice overlap for these games, both in figures and scenery.

 

 

Bought

Artizan – Hired Guns – 3

BM – Maroni Crime Family – 4

BM – Objective Game Markers Set 2 – 5

Building Whitewash City

 I had been working on getting The Rules With No Name ready to play at conventions many years ago. I had found some 1/35 sized figures, and had made bases and painted many of them but had not decided on a color for the bases. I had looking into some papercraft buildings that would need to be upsized, and even picked up a couple of larger plastic fronts at Dollarama.

There was a set of buildings from a western town made by Eric Hotz, who is also on BGG. This was the Whitewash City. They are purportedly at 1/60 scale or 30mm but, things were built small back then and, with most figures being on bases, this makes the buildings look a bit on the wee side.

I had started some tests on upsizing the files. The size of the buildings to store was always a detriment, though, and I did not get around to finishing.

Several years later, I have come across Dracula’s America and am revisiting the scale. With the time now allotted from being quarantined, I have been busy painting up some 25mm figures. Now that I have a few posses done, I have revisited the terrain.

He had a sample building – The Imperial Saloon. This is nice to try to see if the scale will work with your figures. Plus it gives you an idea of how hard the assembly will be, and how durable the buildings are.

I had also bought the 10 pack about a decade ago. I was able to get it from him directly on CD, which I finally reprinted and built. This does fill a table nicely with a good amount of buildings, especially for a skirmish game.

 

I had checked back and planned to get the Motherload set with all the buildings. But when I finally was ready in March to order, the website was down. In speaking with Eric, it seems his old computer had stopped working and his new one doesn’t come with a CD drive.

I can still get the files from Drivethrugames. But it will now be a bit more expensive. If you need Western Scenery, I would recommend trying the sample first, and if that will work for you, think hard on going right up to the Motherload if you think you will ever need more than just the starter.
