Ever been visiting somewhere - and you find that you're at a loose end???????? You know - you brought a few castings to paint - but finished them................and are at a loose end???????^&confuse
Fear not.................................reach for a bit of cardboard.............and some lolly sticks.
WHAT!!!!........................lolly sticks?????????????????????{eek3}
No.... I haven't completely lost it!.........................(well, we've ALL lost it......................BUT................)
As anyone who knows me, knows that I have a little weakness for collecting Cowboys and Native American figures. I also like to repair and paint 'em ........BUT......... I'm a bit weak on backdrops.
So..................being currently in NZ, and away from any more castings.....I decided to have a go at something new for me......... A building.{sm2} I decided on a Saloon, and so, decided on something that could feature behind some figures that i already owned..........and started on "The Last Chance Saloon".
And this is my start of the first floor - which is going in my suitcase next week - to be re-united with my cowboys in (of all places) the UK - ( well at least we will be in The West Country^&grin).
There will eventually be a boardwalk, balcony and upper floor - all made from cardboard backing - and either lolly sticks, or cawfee stirrers - but - this is where I am ............................so far.^&grin
Sit back - and endure...........................I'm off again.....................with one of those projects.
We will see where I end up with this...............................{eek3} [ to be continued]...............jb
