The "Meat Co"

I enjoyed doing the scratch build on the Ranch so much I wanted to do some more. So here we have the towns  "Meat Co" . It's a 5mm foam board construction with 2mm balsa cladding . Windows are a set from Antenocitis , doors were made from balsa. I had picked up some bits for this at a recent railway show - a find of pigs and chickens for the back of the shop

 It was coloured using a dark grey base and then given successive dry brush distressing using a middle grey grey and finished of with bit of Vallejo Iraqi Sand to give it bit of warmth. Really please with the end result 

I had some foam board off cuts left over , so waste not want not they say, I turned them into a simple adobe walls construction - this should double up ok for Old West and the Sudan I think. This was a simple bit of work. I added some odd bit's of plasicard brick left over from the chimney of the ranch and then gave the whole thing a coat with a powder plaster filler & little sand mix put on with a palette knife. Once It was dry it was given a PVA wash to give it extra strength and coloured with a natural calico emulsion (Dulux) picked up at the DIY store , and given a top drybrush of pure white.

Also got all the Old West foot figures together for a shot.

First play test planned for the bank holiday weekend,

and just noticed this is the 100th post!

 BLIMEY!
