One Holers from Gamecraft Miniatures

Truly no Old West town would be complete without a few outhouses. I ordered two packs from Gamecraft Miniatures. These were a fun little diversion, there is even some variety with three different doors to use. Just a fun little diversion. I also tried out one of my model railroad techniques to get that nice silvery gray wood color you see on unprotected wood. I like the technique but it came out a little streaky so I think I'm going to re-prime the building with an enamel based primer and see if I can get a smoother look to the surface. I also ordered some inks to use to feather into the silver gray color. Hopefully those will be here this week and I can start making some painting progress on the buildings.

Anywhere is a bunch of outhouses for your viewing pleasure. Oh and I worked on new bases tonight for the Citizens of Calamity so our favorite lady huckster will be getting a new base shortly.

    1. Its hard to have a town without them. Western towns were not known for their strict sanitation standards. :-)

    1. Calamity is a lot bigger than I thought it would be. I'm not sure I have enough outhouses now! There are 24 buildings waiting to be painted right now. I think I only have 1 more to build though. And then there is a new company that will be releasing kits in April and I could use a few more from Aetherworks, which means I'll probably need another pack of Outhouses!
