I was temped to title this "jeeper creepers" but that seemed trite and possibly overdone and trite is the last thing that I want to be, so the title was foreshortened. And, I've been reading some particular novels where the author has a particular mode of speech/writing that is contrived but also compelling. Hopefully Paarfi... Continue Reading →
It's been a few months since I've worked on any 7TV. Last post was my McDonald's themed cast. Granted, I intend to use all of the Old West figures and buildings as part of a West World 7TV storyline, but they aren't really meant for it. That idea is based on the recently completed Kickstarter... Continue Reading →
Every town needs a doctor. Especially this town, what with all the shooting and dying or maiming. Again, I am working with a TT Combat model. This is another in my "They're so boring" complaint. Another two-story building that looks like all the rest. Another chance to be creative. None of this should be read... Continue Reading →
Subtitle: How long can he draw it out? Last time I wrote about how the extension walls went together. Everything was ready for paint. Red paint, because if you are going to own a Burlesque House, then it may as well stand out. Sadly, I got a little too into finishing the project and didn't... Continue Reading →
With a whole new back part ready for the Burlesque House, time must be spent on making it match the whole. Clearly the TT Combat parts are scribed with siding already. I can't recreate that on the new parts, but why would I want to? It's flat and, again, boring. Siding is not tough to... Continue Reading →
Lesson 1, burlesque is harder to spell when typing quickly than I thought. Lesson 2, Old West burlesque does not mean what some may assume. It's just a variety show. So a burlesque house could/should just be a small show house; a theater of sorts. That's what I'm going with. Lesson 3, not all lessons... Continue Reading →
I made a reference to there being problems in the last post. Here it is. I bought a lot of TT Combat Wild West buildings, excited to get a big town built up and get back to playing. Do you see the problem? They are so boring. There is a little variety, but the buildings... Continue Reading →
Considering how bloody games of Gunfighter's Ball can get for all players involved, it just makes sense to have an Undertaker in town to help clear the bodies. His business should be quite good. Another TT Combat set (shocking) but this time with a small change. The original set was meant to be one of... Continue Reading →
I bought some stuff. Not that I don't have enough stuff, especially for war gaming, but I wanted new stuff. Better stuff. My stuff. So when TT Combat reopened their warehouse a few weeks back I used some Birthday monies to grab a lot more western buildings. How many more? Too many. Like other TT... Continue Reading →
If you take the time to set-up a town in miniature, then you have to play more than just one game with it, right? The time it takes to set-up a good looking table for a miniature game is one of the few things that keeps me from playing more. It can take a good... Continue Reading →
