@@TexasBoltAction you know I never would have even considered a drybrush of grey. I was trying brown on lighter/darker browns/sand colours. I'll definitely be giving that a test this evening, thank you for the tip! Thank you for the tip!
Just came across your channel and loved watching all your videos. There's not enough wild west miniatures content on RUclips. Great to see a new channel with good content, and I look forward to more!
@@rcnavratil wow thank you for the kind words! I'm glad you have liked the content, it's really helped me keep on track with my hobby doing these videos so it's nice to hear someone has enjoyed them 😊🤠 Hopefully a new video out towards the end of the week or early next week 🤠
Hi. Warbases do some nice acrylic bases. A tip to stop the frosting is to be armed with a cotton bud and methylated spirits. As soon as any frosting appears get to work with the cotton bud. Now full disclosure I have bought MDF bases from Warbases but never tried the acrylic frosting tip which I picked up on a model railway channel. If all else fails saloons floors would have a liberal covering of sawdust. Hope that works.
Supergluing to acrylic bases: one drop of superglue to the base of the model; then quickly dab the base on a piece of tissue to remove most of the superglue and then place on the acrylic base. Works for me. If you spray some accelerator such as Rocket Blaster on the base, very lightly first, the model will stick very quickly. Doing it this way I find I don't get any frosting on the acrylic. Too much accelerator and it will frost though. A bit of trial and error needed.
@@geoffreyclark5184 Hi Geoffrey, I'll give that a try and see how it works out for me. I've got a few minis I can do some tests with so fingers crossed I can get it to work 👍
Great video do like the saloon set I have some of the wagons had to stop my bidding work as the Puppy tried to nicking some of the bits and now the wife had a op so when I can get started again I will now the colours for the wagons you have done brilliant 👍👍👍🤠🤠
@@robandrosehobden3344 thanks Rob, appreciate the kind words buddy! Wishing your wife a speedy recovery and hope you get back to some hobby time soon 👏
On one the other hobby channels I watch, the guy uses solvent free superglue on clear acrylic, so think that might help you but I'm not 100% how easy that glue is to get. Great models but I too take my sweet time painting.
Have you looked at Foundry Miniatures? They have "civilian" characters in their Victorian/Edwardian & Victorian Bystanders pages - not all would fit with the Western theme (although the Victorian Bobbies on penny farthings in pursuit of the desperadoes might be fun) but if you wanted a Fagin and pickpockets, prostitutes for your saloon, or Resurrectionists looting Boot Hill, that's the place for you. And while these packs aren't cheap, they're not (yet) as outrageous as the normal Foundry stock.
@@MalcolmRose-l3b hi Malcolm, I've not had a proper look at the Foundry range but I'll certainly be taking a look at them now! The idea of bobbies on penny farthings chasing desperados though a town or after a train has seriously piequed my interest and I feel like it has to be done now!

For a old wood look, use brown with a dry brush of dark grey

@@gordonmcillroy455 thanks Gordon, I'll keep that in mind for the acrylic bases.
I'm a big fan of warbases so I'll take a look and get an order in!

I use the Army Painter Speed Paint brown leather watered down on old wooden as a contrast, iut might bexworth a try on the wagons. Great video.
@@paulwalker5221 thanks for the tip Paul, I'll give it a try and see how I get on 👍
Enjoyed the video and looking forward to that kickstarter!
@@SBF3D thank you, I'm really looking forward to the kickstarter too!

Lovely wagons and minis, characterful and beautiful figures!
@@philRminiatures Great Escape Games really do some nice plastics. The wagons are great, though I'm still struggling with my paint scheme 😅

@@liamkehoe5957 hmmm that's certainly something to look in to, thanks for the suggestion Liam 👍
Weathered wood turns Grey so black wash then work to mid greys
@@nelsonrumley2618 thanks for the tip, I'll try that out 👍
I use gorilla clear glue. Availability in UK unknown
@@nelsonrumley2618 I'll take a look, I currently use Gorrila Gel Super Glue so hopefully the clear glue is available here too 👍
In my book the dual wielding chicken is the last true gunslinger of the west
@@bruehmann it absolutely is... Now I wonder what the in game stats for a dual wielding chicken would be 🐔🤠
