Like I said in my last Dead Man's Hand post, I had planned a few more buildings at least, and a saloon had to be on that list. This is another 4ground kit in the form of Rogan's Bar - renamed to the mended drum - and it's friendly barkeep.
This was the most involved kit from this range that I have had to build, most of them can be built without instructions once you have a couple under your belt, but I wouldn't advice that with this one, but having actual window is a really nice addition.
The barkeep is from Brigade Games - one of their hired help pack. Something about him just screamed barman to me. Maybe it's the shotgun?
It's images like this that make me think I need to work out how to make some tumble weed.
The more I look at these images while I write this the more it is being cemented into my head that I need to buy the second-floor addition to this kit. That bar just isn't imposing enough yet.
Thanks for reading.
Loving this Mike, the first photograph looks brilliant! Would rubberised horse hair work for tumbleweed?
ReplyDeleteThanks Michael. Yeah I'm wondering about something like that.
DeleteNice one, Mike.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to start work on my own pile of 4Ground buildings this week. I bought the two-storey under-construction, to add some height to my layout, but the downside to the model is you need to buy the sub-base B pack to complete it. More expense :(
Thanks Roy. Yeah I was gutted when I got my partially constructed building home and realised it was not only slightly bigger than the normal buildings, but it didn't come with a base :S.
DeleteGreat build dude! That first photograph is superb.
ReplyDeleteIn fact the whole table looks very impressive.
Thanks Bob. Its definitely getting there. Just need a few more buildings to finish it off really.
