Just a light trim please!

To quote Al Pacino, "Just when I thought I was out, they drag me back in."

After over 5 years out of the hobby, I am definitely back in! I have now completed a dozen old west gun fighters and my first building.

I have decided to opt for a more Hollywood style of Old west and spent some time trawling the net for terrain manufactures. In the end, I selected Empires at War.

The pictures below show the results.

I chose the pre painted kit option. The kit came as 4 sprues, although most of the parts had become jolted free in transit. Those pieces still in the sprues popped out easily with very little pressure from a sharp blade.

I used regular school PVA glue and some lightweight modelling clamps. The fits were all good and snug, resulting in a sturdy model.

Empires at War recommend dry brushing the finished model, which is my next step.

My only dilemma now, to base or not to base?
Any thoughts guys?

28mm Artizan Old West

So after a break of over 5 years, I have completed my first figures.
The minis are from Artizan's Old West range. They are described as 'Goth gun fighters'.  I as able to dig out enough useable Citadel and Vallejo paints that hadn't expired to get the job done.

Next on the table are three Texas Rangers.
