Wild West Terrain Gunsmith

Here is the gunsmith's shop, all painted and pretty! I decided red would be a sufficiently aggressive color for the birthplace of every firearm in town!


The shop is simply 'Dziubek and Sons,' a nod to my and my brother's surname. I'm also very pleased with the oxidation details on the copper sign.


Not at all happy with the windows, but it has given me an idea of what to do better in the future.


A few wanted posters adorn the back. It looks a little like barn from the back.


Oh look! The circus is in town!


And a shot of the corrugated metal roof. You can't see it well in the picture, but there is a little picture of a wild west gunsmith on the inside so you're not looking into an abyss when you look through the door.

Penny for your thoughts, pilgrim.

Wild West Terrain WIP

Going back to some Heroscape stuff, I wanted to get started on an old west town along the lines of my pirate town made last year. Here's some wip shots of the Gunsmith shop.


The structure is a simple arts and craft style build: popsicle sticks on cardboard.


The sign is made out of cereal box cardboard, but honestly it looks so rough I've already covered it during the painting process with a new sign.


The corrugated sheet metal of the roof is just corrugated cardboard with the surface removed and some wet paint to smooth down rough edges.

A penny for your thoughts, pilgrim?
