For the next few days you will get a series of posts that all have something to do with the kids Cowboy collection. Today you get a slightly changed building of the week in this Sarissa Precision Old West Gallows (DO41) and costs £7.50
Like the Sarissa Precision building I built this is an easy kit to put together and painting was easy as lets face it it's just the one colour. I did not want to have the wood looking faded like the buildings as I was working on the principle it's not been up as long as the buildings but still allowed a little difference in the planks for interest sake.
It was really windy when I took the photo's so the noose was being blown around making it hard t see Cath's good work. I am a little worried how quickly she was able to knock up a working noose. Defiantly remembering her Birthday!
We have already played a game using both the building and the gallows. My daughter for some reason loaded the platform of the gallows with men rather than taking to a house. Lots of fun was had and once I have all the buildings finished expect a few protracted shoot outs.
Superb work and I like the base as well. Nice and simple but very effective. Looking forward to seeing some Batreps with this playing a central role :-)
ReplyDeleteOnce I have a few more buildings painted up I will do a few Bat Reps and who can resist running up the gallows steps?

Now that's impressive, I could probably get away with one of those for the Wichfinder set up.
ReplyDeleteYou could but I think a rope cast over a good looking tree's branch would be fine LOL

ReplyDeleteLots depends on who is being strung up I suppose LOL

I built a full-size replica of one of these for my mother-in-law, but she failed to use it,,,,,,Ungrateful or what?
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel, I bought mine an electric chair, never allowed me to plug it in
