Shanty-town, and a few other things

       Promise completed, if a fair bit late! As part of the "Finish one of your old projects" challenge I got all of Rich Uncle Pat's  shanty-town completed today. I must say that it feels good to be clearing old projects off the workbench! Next I will take a crack at the 1/350 scale 17th century ships for the Epicurean Wars campaign. In the meanwhile here is a look at the shanty-townn before it gets shipped off to take part in R.U.P.'s African Cold Wars games.

 

fences, wells, a church and some farm buildings

 

the models are very nice, R.U.P. informs me that they are from Ironclad Miniatures

I can attest that they are very cleanly cast and are nearly bubble-free

 

traditional wells with the tipping-arm device for lifting the bucket,

an item that goes all the way back to Pharonic Egypt

 

a very nice barn, the shed on the side is a separate item and can be placed as you like

 

every village needs a church, even if it a converted pole-barn

 

the other barn and the heli-pad

 

a whole bunch of shanties

 

some 15mm livestock would really liven-up the scene

 

the mean streets of shantyville

 

a truly substantial shanty

 

the detail is very good and the resin is cleanly cast
