The Magnificent Seven - NOT

First three of the "Xmas Village" people,..
 OK, so these are not Yul Brynner & co. but at least there are seven of them - so fifty percent accurate title !
These are the first of the 54mm Westerners and Chinese that I've been working on and I've included before and after photographs

...and how they looked when first purchased.
The 'before' shot
...and the 'after' shot
Another 'after' view.
The two barmen, 'before'
Here they are 'after'
Bonus rear shot for those that like this sort of thing !
Bystander, standing 'before'...
'After' shot, - still standing
Bonus "rear shot"

All seven group shot -  - count'em
 

The remainder of my village people, the ladies are near to being finished,with just some facial detailing to be done and a few other minor details, after whoch I'll be turning my attention, once more, to my Chinese westerners. 

This last week has also seen me sorting through and planning how to tackle the recently acquired box of goodies and I've done a lot of work on Horse-riding rules for my western games. The latter are at the stage where I'm crossing 't's and dotting 'i's and they'll then need a playtest.

I'm now almost back to my regime of an hour's hobby work  per day and I'm also planning a new model build.  

That's it then for this week, thanks for taking the time to visit and as always your comments are both welcomed and truly appreciated.

    1. Thanks terry, yes skirmish games were made for 54mm - the original one I knew of was "Old West Skirmish Game" rules sometime in the early 70's iirc.
