Water water

I've got a couple more completed scatter pieces from Frontline Wargaming.  First up the Water Tower - this was the worst kit I've ever assembled.  At least it is painted, and with some Water Effect, so I don't have to think about it much more:

I also have a trio of Water Troughs - similar kind of paint job to the Tower, and used some Vallejo Water Effect too:

These should all work well for the various Wild/Weird West games in the collection.

Wild West Waste Disposal

Some finished resin scatter terrain for various games set in Wild/Weird West style worlds.  First up, a pair of Frontline Outhouses:

I opted for different shades of wood - and made the metal rooves a bit rusty.  I added a couple of tufts to the base parts to help tie them into my 'Western' basing scheme.

From Terrain Freaks I've painted these resin coffins:

These were victims of a very gloss drying wash - I've salvaged them with a coat of Matt Varnish and they are at that stage where they'll do.  When arranged by the side of the Undertakers building I'm sure I'll be happier with them!

Fences and Water Tower

I knew I wanted some fencing suitable for the various games that will use our Bethany, Nevada scenery collection - I picked up the Renedra Palisade Fencing pack.

As you can see the pack includes 8 fence lengths but only 5 posts.  I've tried to put them together in a way that will be somewhat flexible.  What would have been good is if the posts (or at least some of them) had been designed to allow for right angled corners - a missed opportunity I feel.

Also, I finally assembled the Water Tower from Frontline - this was really tricky to assemble, mostly because the Frontline resin seems to take forever to bond with superglue (unlike most resin which I've found tends to glue really quickly).

It's not perfect, but it'll do - I don't intend to buy another one, let's put it that way!!

Frontline Wargaming - Resin Scatter for Bethany, Nevada

When I picked up the DMH stuff I took the opportunity to pick up some resin scatter terrain at the same time - this'll be useful for DMH, Dracula's America and Malifaux so it's a good investment I think!

This scatter terrain is from Frontline Wargaming - but thankfully it was available through Great Escape Games as the Frontline Wargaming website is, quite frankly, a relic of a bygone age.

Anyway, on to the pieces - I knew I had to have some outhouses (blame it on Bill and Ted):

At least there'll be someplace in Bethany for the yellow bellied to go hide during a shoot out!

The outhouses are single piece castings and definitely give some flavour to a Wild West type scenery collection.

I also picked up the three pack of water troughs - one has a pump which is a nice detail:

A bit of water effect to the tops after painting and they'll look the part I think!

Finally I opted for the Water Tower - one of those iconic structures for a Western Town I think! 

All the pieces have nice texture and details and didn't require too much clean up, however one of the outhouses, one of the troughs and part of the water tower were all damaged during transit.  I've bought plenty of resin pieces over the years and these were the first to suffer such breakages on their way to me which was a bit disappointing.  I managed to fix them, but it wasn't easy and for some reason the Frontline resin seems to not bond as quickly with glue as other resin I'm used to working with.

That said, I'm still really happy to have these pieces in the collection; they go a long way to making our little town feel more real!
